Description

Explore the rapid transformations within China's agricultural landscape with this detailed study from the Routledge Contemporary China Series. As millions of younger people and poorer farmers migrate to urban centers, China faces the massive task of feeding an increasingly affluent population. This book offers a unique bottom-up view of the country's rural society, looking past high-level statistics to see how individual peasants actually survive and thrive. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the specific mechanisms rural households use to defend their livelihoods and increase agricultural production. By examining the ways families work to improve their quality of life, this text provides a vivid description of the changing paradigms of farming in a modernizing nation. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the social and economic shifts occurring in China's countryside.
