Arable land loss in rural China: policy and implementation in Jiangsu province

Article Abstract:

The rapid loss of arable land has become an alarming problem in China. As the country shifts to a market economy, the real challenge for Chinese leaders is to control the use of valuable resources such as land. In Jiangsu, local land management officials find it difficult to constrain construction that uses arable lands. Grassroots leaders must be convinced that national policies should be prioritized over local developmental goals.
