In China's 2,000-year history, why is agricultural development so difficult?

China's land is vast and blessed. Since ancient times, the importance of agricultural production and development, why is it so difficult to agricultural development now?

Throughout the world agricultural production development difficulties, there are two main aspects of the problem, the first is the production, the second is the large population, food production demand.

For our country, China's feudal, dynasty rule for more than 2000 years, although the importance of agricultural production and development, but has been the use of natural economy, that is, the traditional men plowing and weaving of the small peasant economy is dominated. This type of economy, although the utilization rate of the land is high, but the scale is small and the production is small. In modern society is limited by the long-term smallholder economy, so that the development of agricultural production can not reach the scale of production can not keep up with the agricultural production difficulties. If the scientific and technological means of assistance to scientific planning, Jiayi industrial production means, the development of China's agricultural production will certainly rise a grade, the development of agricultural production will have further changes.

Secondly, China's large population, the annual production of food has a huge demand. The traditional small farm economy production methods, simply can not meet the needs of modern society. Value and long-term farmers' concepts have not changed over, still using small-scale family farming did not reach the scale of operation, although the land utilization rate is high, but the yield has never reached the social needs. Plus based on the low degree of scientific and technological aspects of our country's agriculture. Most people are manpower-based, science and technology popularization is low. Although China is a vast country, but there are many mountains, plateau area is huge. These areas are not suitable for agricultural cultivation. So. Overall China's agricultural cultivation area is small.

In these two contradictions hovering between each other, it will cause the production development of agriculture is more difficult. Food for the people, a country a harmonious and stable development of society is inevitably inseparable from the development of agriculture. The development of agriculture can not be allowed to grow freely, but to the scientific point of view of planning, so that scientific and technological means popularized to all aspects. This way, the development of agricultural production can keep up with the social rhythm of change.
