Agricultural Reforms in China? (1958 words) |
 | The CPC has recognized, since before the 1949 Revolution, the need to simultaneously solve the problem of generating an agricultural surplus to help finance the modernization and industrialization of the country while allowing farmers and their families to retain sufficient resources to meet their consumption needs and invest in agriculture. |
 | Indeed, if agriculture fails to generate sufficient surplus, it becomes very problematic to continue the current rapid national economic growth, particularly as the demands of a growing urban managerial class places increased pressure on distributions of the industrial surplus. |
 | As the claimants to portions of the surplus attempt to gain higher amounts, increased pressure will be brought to bear on direct producers, in both agriculture and industry, to produce higher levels of surplus value. |
| Agriculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2511 words) |
 | Agriculture (a term which encompasses farming) is the process of producing food, feed, fiber and other goods by the systematic raising of plants and animals. |
 | Agriculture is also short for the study of the practice of agriculture—more formally known as agricultural science. |
 | Agriculture is cited as a significant adverse impact to biodiversity in many nations' Biodiversity Action Plans, due to reduction of forests and other habitats when new lands are converted to farming. |
