Securing the ‘Rice Bowl’ cover

This book offers an insightful analysis of China's food security strategies and their implications for global food systems, particularly in Securing the ‘Rice Bowl’.

In Securing the ‘Rice Bowl’, the author delves into the critical issue of food security in China, the world's most populous nation. As China continues to grow as a leading food importer and an influential player in global agricultural investments, the security of its food resources has become a pressing concern not only for its policymakers but also for the international community. The book presents a thorough examination of how the resource needs of today could lead to potential conflicts over resources in the future.

The author highlights China's strategies to ensure food security both domestically and internationally. With a focus on agricultural investments and policies, the book explores the implications of these strategies on global food systems and trade dynamics. It raises important questions about sustainability, resource allocation, and geopolitical tensions that may arise as nations vie for agricultural dominance.

Securing the ‘Rice Bowl’ is an essential read for industry analysts, institutional investors, and scholars interested in understanding the complexities of China's food security strategies. By providing insights into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, the book encourages readers to consider the broader implications of China's agricultural policies on global food security and international relations.
