AAG  2012 CFP China’s Agriculture and Food Security

Session  Organizers: Wei Xu (wei.xu@uleth.ca)

It  has been estimated that by the end of 2009, more than one billion people  throughout the world, and particularly in developing countries, will not have  enough food to meet their basic nutritional needs. As the most populous country  in the world,Chinahas been constantly challenged  to provide its citizens with physical and economic access to sufficient and  nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for an active and healthy life.  While the economic success, achieved through economic reforms and market  transitions over the last three decades, has fostered a tremendous reduction of  poverty throughout the country, millions of people, especially in westernChina, remain below the poverty line,  and their access to sufficient food is in peril. Lester Brown’s alarming warning  “Who will feedChina?”  reminds everyone that there is an increasing threat toChina’s food  security during its course towards modernization.  With its natural constraints  and surging demand for grain in recent years, the future prospect of food  security has not changed, andChinaoften finds itself in the  middle of a raucous debate about the future of global food security. How hasChina’s agriculture changed in recent  years in response to the continuous challenges of food security? What are the  emerging factors that influenceChina’s food production chains and  agricultural sectors? This session welcomes the papers addressingChina’s Agriculture and Food Security  and related issues.
