Description:
This book, aiming to introduce international experiences and lessons to China, has largely benefitted from the study results of FAO’s multidisciplinary team. It systematically introduces sectorial issues related to agriculture, fisheries, forests, livestock and natural resources; provides analysis on cross sectorial food security and nutrition matters; and reflects agro-development hotspots in today’s world. Although the views expressed in this book may not necessarily represent the Organization’s position, I believe that it will provide an international perspective for Chinese readers; and I hope that it will render a valuable source of information to trigger policy debates and to draw good practices in other parts of the world in the course of promoting agricultural transformation, as China takes up the responsibility as an emerging world leader.
No doubt that for the modernization of agriculture and sustainable food security, China needs the world, just as the world needs China. In this regard, we hope that the book will serve as a useful reference for Chinese readers.
