Abstract: China's sustainable food production has been increasingly challenged by resource bottlenecks and land institutional constraints during its rapid marches toward industrialization and urbanization. The small-scale peasant economy associated with the traditional Household Responsibility System is no longer suitable for agricultural mechanization and modernization. Innovative reform need to be made to existing land tenure system and food production system to achieve economies of scale and continuous improvement in agricultural productivity. In this paper, the authors introduce a sustainable food production system called "Chongzhou Mode", which is characterized by integration of Land Shareholding Cooperatives, Agricultural Professional Managers, and Rural Socialized Service System. The paper gives detailed descriptions and thorough analyses to "Chongzhou Model", including its practices, features, performance, existing problems and future directions. This study is expected to provide valuable information to researchers and policy makers concerning land reforms in agricultural sector of China, and also it could give insights to other developing countries with similar problems of grain production. | |||

Abstract:The improvement of farmers' welfare could be explained as the optimization of the consumption structure. Theoretically, off-farm employment could improve the welfares of left-behind persons in emigrating communities through two channels: First, it enlarges the budget constraints of the left-behind by remittances from migrant workers; Second, there is a tendency of convergence between different consumption preferences in emigrating and immigrating communities. The "demonstration effect" of the modern consumption preference will optimize the consumption structure in emigrating communities. This paper uses Household survey data collected by the Research Centre for Rural Economy of the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture for the period from 1996-2010 in Sichuan and Anhui to test these hypotheses. Our preliminary results show that (1) off-farm employment does earn higher income for rural workers; (2) inter-region off-farm employment earns higher income than near-home off-farm employment; and (3) inter-region off-farm employment plays an important "demonstration role" that influences tastes and preferences of family members and other residents in the emigrating communities. | |||

Abstract:In this paper, the author constructs a theoretical model to explain a farmer's adoption decision of conservation tillage. Conservation tillage is a production method that leaves more residues on the field after harvest. It is typically considered both cost-reducing and eco-friendly, with the multi-benefits of controlling soil erosion, increasing soil organic matter, conserving soil moisture, and reducing labor and energy costs. However, the adoption rate of conservation tillage systems is very low in China. The goal of this study is to explore potential reasons behind the low adoption rate of conservation tillage in China. This study considers factors specific to a typical farmer in rural China. These factors include small farm size, low ability of learning and adaptation, and low vulnerability to risk. Using this model, the author discusses alternative policy tools that can help improve a farmer's incentive to adopt conservation tillage. | |||

Abstract:This paper started from the understanding of the concept of the agricultural risk. It takes asymmetric information and existed uncertainties as the risk occurring mechanisms. Therefore, through out some related theoretical analysis to setup a frame on the agricultural risk management study. It gives a rational knowledge on agricultural risk management. | |||

Abstract:Consumer response toward Genetically Modified (GM) foods have been largely negative across the developed world, but studies conducted in the United States show different results. Like other developing countries, studies conducted in China also obtain opposite results from the majority of developed countries. This paper compares consumer attitudes toward GM foods in both countries. We conclude that the positive perception towards GM foods in China stems from more urgent needs for the improvement of food availability and nutrition. Additionally, perceived risk may be smaller due to trust in government, relatively positive attitudes toward health and environment and positive perceptions of science. This is contrary to the smaller perceived risks and benefits found in the US. | |||
