The expansion of agricultural production in China has been remarkable, but at
the expense of the sustainable use of its natural resources. To counter this,
as well as to face problems due to rising labour costs and a rapidly ageing
rural population, agricultural production must concentrate on a smaller number
of more productive farms. It is in this light that this report reviews recent
policy developments to assess whether they have been conducive to productivity
growth and environmental sustainability. It finds that the conditions for
structural change and innovation at the farm level in China could be further
improved by securing the long-term stability of land rights as well as
reducing transaction costs. Greater policy coherence with agri-environmental
policy objectives could also be achieved through stricter enforcement of
environmental regulations. Finally, the agricultural innovation system could
play a greater role by placing the focus on public agricultural R&D; in areas
such as the environment and resource conservation, and in other areas which do
not attract much private sector investment.
