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.
Keywords:Sustainable food production; Land tenure system; Land shareholding cooperatives; Chongzhou Mode
