Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book advocates for a reexamination of agricultural practices to combat extensive famine and poverty in China. It highlights the advanced techniques of intensive agriculture practiced in China, such as crop rotation and the use of natural fertilizers. In contrast, large swaths of China's land remain uncultivated, and poor soil management has stripped much of the soil of its nutrients. The author argues that by combining the intensive methods of Chinese gardening with the labor -saving machinery and scientific knowledge of American agriculture, China can dramatically increase its agricultural yields. The adoption of these methods would free up China's rural population to enter into industrial centers, stimulating economic growth. This insightful book advocates for international agricultural cooperation to address food security, environmental sustainability, and economic development, particularly between the United States and China.
