At present, China is in the two transitional period, one shift from a planned economic system of socialist market economic system; second is from an agricultural society to industrial society.

In the agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) ratio has dropped to 15% of the cases, it is now urban-rural imbalances have reached a time when the non-settled.

At present in rural areas has 10 issues need to be studied and resolved.

[parsley]

1.Increase of agricultural inputs in the proportion of the total budgeted expenditure. Strengthen the ag infrastructure construction, improve the ecological environment and production conditions, and fundamentally change the basis of weak, insufficient capacity for resilience decreases.

The full implementation of ecological agriculture, construction, economy and ecology of a virtuous circle.

To this end should be based on the World Trade Organization (WTO) "green box policy" and "amber box" policy, the proportion of fiscal expenditure for agriculture to adjust to the total financial expenditure of more than 10%.

An early end to "take more than I," the progressive realization of industry nurturing agriculture.

To improve people's livelihood of the bulk grain and other agricultural products by way of subsidies, subsidized circulation and replaced by direct subsidies to farmers.

Of strict control of non-agricultural land, rural industrialization and urbanization process of strict control on agricultural land, focusing on raising the rate of urban capacity.

It is estimated that since the 90s of the last century, each contracted farmer bought the land due to loss of billions of dollars more than in the.

Are now some 30 million farmers have been contracted for various reasons, expropriation, buyout and become landless peasants.

Only problem is... who that matters... better yet who that can or could do anything about it CARES. Seems like starving polite people are far behind those with nukes, guns and the blackmailing suicide folks.
