The Chinese Government often boasts that one of its greatest achievements is feeding China's entire population, constituting 22% of the world's population, with only 9% of the world's arable land. However, visiting China's countryside and asking who actually owns the farmland produces answers so drastically different that one could easily conclude that no one really knows. Considering that China contains 120 million hectares of arable land, its ownership is probably the biggest unresolved question on property rights in China, and is, unequivocally, one of the most critical questions for the 700 million rural Chinese who live there.

Over the next four decades there will be an additional 2.6 billion people on Earth to feed--a 38 percent population increase from today--in addition to the 925 million people who currently suffer under-nutrition or hunger. Simultaneously, the world faces a limited amount of easily accessible arable land, increasing pressures on freshwater quality and availability and accelerating environmental degradation.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, who often says West Virginians have much in common with the Japanese, sympathizes with that countrys experiences as Japan struggles to overcome the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power plant crisis. Rockefeller studied in Japan in the 1950s and has visited often. He knows the language. He has many Japanese friends. Only 16 percent of their land is arable land that can be used, Rockefeller said in a Friday telephone interview. The Kobe earthquake (of 1995) was incredibly destructive but didnt seem to stay in the news. This one sank in deeply in the international psyche, the sadness of it.

The surprise conies because AC has enjoyed massive state support since its founding in me Aracruz region of Espfrito Santo in 1972 as part of the military dictatorship's national economic development plan, which centered on agro-industrial production for export. WITH THE SUPPORT OF CIVIL society organizations and rural social movements like the Movement of the Landless Rural Workers (MST), President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva was elected in 2002 on a platform that included agrarian reform, a crucial issue in Brazil, the country with the world's most unequal land distribution-1.6% of landowners control almost half the country's arable land, and 3% of the population owns two thirds of it.2 Lula decried this in a 2000 interview with the magazine Cams amigos.
