Overview

This book offers a snappy but comprehensive investigation of how the resource needs of today could become the resource conflicts of tomorrow.

China’s Food Security

As the most populous country in the world, the security of China’s “rice bowl” is not only a top political priority for China’s policymakers but increasingly a critical global concern as the country emerges as a leading food importer and a major player in outward agricultural investment.

Global Impact

This book sheds light on China’s efforts, both at home and abroad, to safeguard its food security and how these efforts will affect global food systems.

Intended Audience

This book will be of interest to industry analysts, institutional investors, and scholars of China’s global rise.
