This book was released on 2008 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Several studies addressing the supply and demand for food in China suggest that the nation can largely meet its needs in the coming decades. However, these studies do not consider the effects of climate change. This paper examines whether near future expected changes in climate are likely to alter this picture. The authors analyze the effect of temperature and precipitation on net crop revenues using a cross section consisting of both rainfed and irrigated farms. Based on survey data from 8,405 households across 28 provinces, the results of the Ricardian analysis demonstrate that global warming is likely to be harmful to China but the impacts are likely to be very different in each region. The mid latitude region of China may benefit from warming but the southern and northern regions are likely to be damaged by warming. More precipitation is beneficial to Chinese farmers except in the wet southeast. Irrigated and rainfed farmers have similar responses to precipitation but not to temperature. Warmer temperatures may benefit irrigated farms but they are likely to harm rainfed farms. Finally, seasonal effects vary and are offsetting. Although we were able to measure the direct effect of precipitation and temperature, we could not capture the effects of change in water flow which will be very important in China. Can China continue feeding itself if climate changes? Based on the empirical results, the likely gains realized by some farmers will nearly offset the losses that will occur to other farmers in China. If future climate scenarios lead to significant reductions in water, there may be large damages not addressed in this study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In less than half a century (1978–2020), China has transformed itself from a country that barely fed itself to a powerful player in the global food system, characterized by massive food imports, active overseas agricultural engagement, and the global expansion of Chinese agribusiness. This Element offers a nuanced analysis of China's global food strategy and its impacts on food security and the international agri-food order. To feed a population of 1.4 billion, China actively seeks overseas agri-food resources whilst maintaining a high level of domestic food production. This strategy gives China an advantageous position in the global food system, but it also creates contradictions and problems within and beyond the country. This could potentially worsen global food insecurity in the long term.

Download or read book From Self Sufficiency to Self Supporting written by Scott Y. Lin and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current studies on China's food security are largely based on the perspective of grain self-sufficiency, and discuss whether China can feed itself at the national level through its grain production. As a result, the Chinese grain self-sufficiency policy of maintaining a self-sufficiency rate of above 95% tends to be regarded as a benchmark for evaluating China's food security status. However, recent studies and documents indicate that China is having difficulty adhering to its grain self-sufficiency policy and, therefore, is looking for overseas agricultural resources to support its increasing demand for grain. Today, China has become a major player in investing in farmland in foreign countries for grain production. During 2007-2013, at least 5.3 million hectares of overseas farmland, equal to 5% of its domestic sown land for grain crops in 2011, were secured and operated by Chinese firms. Accordingly, China's grain demand will be largely supported by Chinese-owned farmlands both locally and overseas, resulting in a new scenario for China's grain policy, that of being self-supporting.This practice of importing more grain from Chinese-owned farmlands abroad will eventually affect China's long-standing norm of seeking to maintain a 95% grain self-sufficiency rate. Thus, important questions have been raised: How does China acquire farmlands overseas? To what extent does the shifting Chinese grain policy challenge international norms? In response to this developing and ongoing story of China's policy shift from self-sufficiency to being self-supporting, this paper argues that China's adjustment in terms of its food security policy not only further secures its grain supply, but also influences international norms. An important finding of this paper is China's reliance on government supported companies and bilateral agreements, not only to safeguard production stemming from investments, but also to influence the regional food security status.
