Rapid economic development and the transformation of Chinese society have meant that China is receiving greater attention for their impact on future global affairs. However, many aspects of the current development are not well understood; not only the size of the country and its large population of almost 1.3 billion people, but also the scarce availability of information. In particular, knowledge of rural China, until recently, was incomplete and fragmented. This lack of knowledge has caused, among other issues, controversial and incorrect estimations of the agricultural sector’s capacity to meet the growing food demands of the nation. This in turn may have significant effects on world prices and the international agricultural market.

Abstract
Rapid economic development and the transformation of Chinese society have meant that China is receiving greater attention for their impact on future global affairs. However, many aspects of the current development are not well understood; not only the size of the country and its large population of almost 1.3 billion people, but also the scarce availability of information. In particular, knowledge of rural China, until recently, was incomplete and fragmented. This lack of knowledge has caused, among other issues, controversial and incorrect estimations of the agricultural sector’s capacity to meet the growing food demands of the nation. This in turn may have significant effects on world prices and the international agricultural market.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
