Place:ICC, Level 1, Dong Yu Grand Ballroom A Time:09:00 - 10:15 Description:
-China needs to feed 20% of the world’s population on 10% of the world’s arable land. If this means that it cannot follow the US model of farming, who should it learn from? Japan? Korea?
-Will the Chinese family-based farming continue to work, or should the government allow for land acquisitions (of the right to use land, not the ownership) and give way to big-farm agriculture as in the US?
-Food security: self-reliant, or turning to trade?
-What does land mean for Chinese farmers?
