Chinese and Indian economic relations and development assistance to Zimbabwe: Rationale, controversies and significance
Recent economic relations including foreign assistance scenario in Africa show expansion of China and India as emerging bilateral partners, competing with traditional countries in Europe and North America.
Repositioning agricultural support policies for achieving China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal
Agrifood systems are both a contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and an important sector for achieving China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal and mitigating climate change.
Remarkable achievements in global food security have been made in the past several decades. Food production has grown significantly and outpaced the population growth.
The unsustainable agricultural production mode of “high input and high output” has imposed a heavy burden on China’s ecosystems, and severely restricted the sustainable development of the country’s agrifood systems.
With rapid improvements in agricultural productivity and residents’ income, China has made remarkable advances in reducing hunger and malnutrition, as well as quality improvements in residents’ diets, witnessed by the progressively increasing cons
