Written by Chinese experts, this new work describes the vast and critically important agricultural system of China. The authors look at the natural environment of China, and the influence Chinese history has had on present day agricultural practices. The components of agriculture -- cropping, animal husbandry, forestry and fishery -- are examined separately and in the context of China's ten agricultural regions. The importance and impact of communication and delivery systems are assessed together with the accessibility of fertilizers, chemicals, animal feedstuffs, machinery, and energy resources. Agricultural education, research, development and extension, as well as recent economic reforms are discussed in some detail. A brief summary of Chinese agricultural problems and prospects concludes this essential, comprehensive volume.
