This title was first published in 2000: An examination of the
potential for Chinese ecological agriculture providing a basis for
sustainable development in the Chinese countryside. Richard Sanders
involves primary research in seven villages and four countries in
China that have adopted ecological agriculture. He examines the
concept of sustainable development generally and analyses China's
political-economic policies towards the countryside since 1949, the
impacts on the environment and the state of China's environmental
protection. The study addresses three main questions: 1. Is Chinese
ecological agriculture worth adopting - specifically does CEA
promise a form of sustainable rural development? 2. To the extent
that it does, what are the social, political and economic
conditions in the Chinese countryside which most favour its
extension? 3. To the extent that these conditions are restrictive,
what can the Chinese authorities do to make them less so and thus
encourage its extension? The study concludes that the CEA, despite
certain difficulties and problems, holds out the prospect of a more
sustainable future for the rural economy than more usual forms of
activity in the Chinese countryside. It finds that the conditions
for adopting CEA are restrictive and that while the Chinese
government is in favour of extending CEA it must reconsider
questions of land management and ownership and assess long-term
needs.
