Re: China and Food (was Re: Ecological Econom



The people working on the land are no longer " peasants" anymore, they do
own the land since the time the coops became extinct. A lot of farms are
using modern machinery, but because each farmer or family has small plots
of land only larger farms are suitable. Many farmers sell their land and
go to the cities for work.. China's coastal areas are populated and almost
a 1/3 of the land are arid and irrigation is being done quite quickly by
the government . If one has not been to China for 12 months,in his next
trip, he will notice improvements and new constructions  anywhere in any
areas, from agriculture, to cities science and engineering.
