Insights into Chinese Agriculture
by Zhang Yunhua
Description
Agriculture is the base of all industries and affects everyone's life in a close and direct manner. However, many Chinese people lack sufficient knowledge about China's current agricultural development. This development is closely related to current academic research in agriculture and the popularization of science education. The creative intent of the Chinese version of this book is to try to change this situation by popularizing knowledge of agriculture and creating a popular and readable book about agricultural science. Today, the English Language Edition is designed to give foreigners a better understanding of Chinese agriculture, economics, history, and culture.
Insights into Chinese Agriculture adopts clear and easy-to-understand economic theories to help the general public better understand Chinese agriculture. Furthermore, it offers insights into many related economic and social phenomena, such as why “low grain prices hurt farmers,” the “hog cycle,” China’s land tenure system, small farm agriculture, and food safety. It is not only easy to understand, but also features ancient Chinese poetry as well as modern cartoons to explain in interesting ways both China’s agricultural history and its current situation. Opening vistas for the reader to learn more about both agriculture and China, this work is a rare combination of popularization and specialization concerning these important topics. In a word, it fills a void in popular books on agriculture and on China.
