By 1993, grain output had increased three times and per capita grain supply had almost doubled. The authors inquire whether or not China can feed itself and examine trends in population growth, per capita income, diet pattern, and a variety of agricultural factors (such as arable land, grain area, and fertilizer output). According to their findings, China can basically strike a balance between grain demand an supply in 2030. (DÜI-Sen) |
