China can meet the demands of its growing population without importing grain

Peng Gong
China has a long-standing ambition to be self-sufficient in grain — rice,
wheat, maize (corn) and soya beans — yet it imported some 95 million tonnes

its grain imports would rise, and push up the price of food. These fears

Sulfur particles in the air deflect the sun's rays and can temporarily cool
things down a bit. That can happen even as coal-burning pro... 阅读全帖 |

When April with his showers sweet with fruit
The drought of March has pierced unto the root
And bathed each vein with liquor that has power
To generate therein and sire the flower;
When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath,
Quickened again, in every holt and heath,
The tender shoots and buds, and the young sun
Into the Ram one half his course has run,
And many little birds make melody
That sleep through all the night with open eye
