The book categorizes China’s food policies into four interconnected domains: food security, food safety, environmentally sustainable agriculture, and nutrition-oriented food policies. For each domain, it reviews key institutional developments, current policy strategies, and their implications for both producers and consumers, while also discussing emerging challenges and future policy directions. Through this integrated perspective, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how China’s food policies have continuously adapted to evolving economic, environmental, and public health challenges, reshaping the agri-food system in fundamental ways.
