What does the author think is the reason why farmers in China live in villages?

The author thinks that farmers in China live in rural areas for three reasons:

1. Geographical and historical factors: Most farmers in China live in alluvial plains or hilly areas, where the land is fertile and suitable for farming. In addition, China's agriculture is traditionally self-sufficient, and farmers often choose to build villages on fertile land in river alluvial plains to facilitate agricultural production.

2. Social security: The traditional culture of China emphasizes the resettlement of immigrants, that is, people stick to their homeland and do not move easily. In rural areas, the relationship between family and clan is an important link to maintain social order. Farmers living together in villages can build a strong social support network with the help of blood relationship and geographical relationship, and improve their sense of security and survival opportunities.

3. Economic development: Farmers living in villages is beneficial to agricultural production and farmers' life. Villages can provide farmers with necessary means of production such as farm tools, seeds and fertilizers, as well as life services such as education, medical care and entertainment. In addition, farmers can also organize collective cooperation through village groups to carry out irrigation, plant protection, breeding and other production activities to improve agricultural production efficiency.

Benefits of rural residents to agricultural production in China;

1. Convenient agricultural production: Farmers living in villages can easily obtain means of production, such as farm tools, seeds and fertilizers. At the same time, they can also cooperate collectively to improve the efficiency of agricultural production. In addition, villages are usually located in river alluvial plains or hilly areas, and the land is fertile and suitable for farming, which provides convenient agricultural production conditions for farmers.

2. Reduce production costs: farmers can save the cost and time brought by long-distance transportation by farming near the village. In addition, through collective cooperation, farmers can also enjoy resources and reduce unit production costs. For example, farmers in a village can jointly build infrastructure such as water conservancy facilities and roads to improve the production efficiency of the whole village.

3, improve the ability to resist risks: farmers living in villages is conducive to the formation of a strong social support network. When encountering natural disasters or other difficulties, the collective strength of the village can provide necessary help and support for farmers and enhance their ability to resist risks.

4. Promote technology dissemination: In rural areas, information exchange and experience sharing among farmers can promote the dissemination and innovation of agricultural technology. By learning from each other, farmers can improve their production skills and crop yields.
