Особенности обеспечения продовольственной безопасности Китая на современном этапе

Аннотация

The historically formed a huge disproportion between the population of the country and available fertile land has determined the direction of China's state policy in this area for many years. By the end of the 21st century’s first decade substantial financial support of farmers on behalf the state and the sustainable increasing chemicalization of agriculture helped to overcome malnutrition and hunger. At the same time, the achievement of a high level of food’s self sufficiency of own production is only one of PRC’s steps to ensure national food security. Recent years have been characterized by the adjustment of the vector of application of efforts from the just formal availability of food, to increasing its accessibility for broad strata of the population economically. The downside of the intensification of the Chinese agro­industrial complex was the aggravation of environmental problems and, as a result, a reduction in cultivated areas due to soil degradation. This factor makes it possible to predict an increase in the country's dependence on food imports in the long term.
