Papers from the Workshop on Environment, Resources and Agricultural Policies in China, held in Beijing, June 19-21, 2006, and organized by the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture and the OECD's Directorate for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. Includes bibliographical references. China's endowment of water resources is extremely low, poorly distributed, and increasingly polluted. With agriculture being one of the main consumers of water, China's future development depends on initiatives that will raise the efficiency and efficacy of water use. These workshop proceedings examine the current situation in China, look at what is being done in OECD countries to manage water resources, and suggest policy options for China.--Publisher's description. |
