In a bid to secure a domestic food supply and cut down reliance on foreign imports, China is expanding its farmlands. As explained by the newspaper the China Daily, “the rapidly ageing rural population has made it more challenging for China to ensure food security,” bringing about a decline in the number of farmers and forcing the country to depend more on imported produce.

Since China is the world’s second-most populous country, with over 1.4 billion people, it is natural that its food demands are astronomical and growing year on year, as the population eats more with development and imports increase accordingly.

Been doin' a lot of research on China. I'm under the impression farmers are dying out. They're the lowest of the low on the economic scale, if you don't include the forever unemployed. The chicks move to the cities for a better, and no one wants to marry a farmer. It's a hard life of perpetual servitude, not to mention chicks do NOT wanna marry down, in addition to the gender imbalance. The farmers more often than not, can't find wives.

That's what ya get if ya devalue about half the human race. That attitude seems to be changing with the younger generations. Amazing how long traditions can be so destructive to society, and how long it takes to shed them. . .including stupid European traditions that I said FU to aeons ago. I'd rather be pragmatic than celebrate sheer garbage that does nothing but keep you behind.
