An Approach to Food Quality in China: An Agenda for Future Research

Chapter 2 in The Political Economy of Agro-Food Markets in China, 2014, pp 47-74 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the first 30 years of the People’s Republic of China, a major concern of the government was to provide sufficient food at cheap prices. The reforms that started at the end of the 1970s helped lift several hundred million people out of poverty and somewhat relaxed the country’s economic isolationism and food security policies. Food security, of course, remains an important issue, but one that can be addressed more closely in the (not so distant) future, as Lester Brown (1995) showed.1
