This is an explanation of how policy changes affect farmers' production incentives and efficiency of resource allocation within and outside agriculture in modern China. The book pays particular attention to the effects of technical inputs on yield and efficiency of spatial crop production patterns. It draws experiences of agricultural development in different periods after independence and employing two different quantitive techniques, it concludes that government's long-term tendency to undermine the role of agriculture, lack of state investment and the inconsistency of market reforms are three major threats to sustained grain production and agricultural growth in China.
