Study Notes
Food Production in China
- Most food is imported despite Mainland being a major supplier.
- Farming systems involve inputs (physical and human), processes (farm work), outputs (crops, livestock products, etc.), and feedback (e.g., money for inputs).
- Inputs: Resources needed for farming (e.g., land, labor, tools, water, seeds, fertilizer).
- Processes: Activities transforming inputs into outputs.
- Outputs: Products of farming (e.g., crops, livestock, etc.). Cash crops are sold, while subsistence crops are for farmer consumption.
- Feedback: Results of the farming process that are reintroduced into the system (e.g., profit used for improved inputs).
- Intensive farming: High inputs, small land size, high output.
- Extensive farming: Low inputs, large land size, low output.
- Arable farming: Growing crops.
- Pastoral farming: Rearing livestock.
- Mixed farming: Combining arable and pastoral farming.
- Subsistence farming: Food production for self-consumption.
- Commercial farming: Food production for sale.
Farming Regions in China
- Xibei region: Extensive pastoral farming, focusing on meat, milk, and wool; large farms.
- Huabei and Dongbei regions: Extensive arable and pastoral, producing wheat, corn, potatoes, millet, soybeans, and wool; large farms.
- Huanan region: Intensive arable, producing rice, vegetables, and tropical fruits; small farms.
Factors Affecting Farming Types
- Climate (Rainfall & Temperature): Rainfall decreases from southeast to northwest; ideal conditions for paddy rice in the south (high rainfall), and sheep rearing in the north (low rainfall). Higher temps and rainfall lead to longer growing seasons.
- Relief (Landform): Western China is mountainous (infertile soil, unsuitable for arable farming, better for pastoral), eastern China has plains (fertile soil, suitable for arable). Flatter land for better arable farming.
- Soil: Soil type and fertility affect crop choices, e.g., fertile soil in eastern valleys and plains is more favorable for crops.
- Best farmland: Valleys and coastal plains in eastern China, with fertile soil and sufficient water.
Food Security and Challenges
- Food demand: Population size and income level affect demand; higher income means more meat and dairy.
- Food supply: China's self-sufficiency rate for grains is high (95%), indicating sufficient grain production. Challenges remain, particularly in regard to arable land availability.
Insufficient Arable Land in China
- Physical limitations: Harsh climate (short growing season, low rainfall), hilly terrain (limited flat land, soil erosion).
- Human activities: Loss of farmland due to urban expansion, environmental pollution (air, soil, water), and improper farming practices (over-cultivation, deforestation, leading to soil erosion). Land depletion, pollution, and improper techniques reduce the quality of farming land and output.
