THE SUSTAINABILITY OF AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES IN CHINA
中国农业资源的可持续性分析

Sustainable development of agricultural resources should be satisfied by three basic conditions which are 1. The total amount of food products should supply the requirement of population number at the its "Zero Increase Point", that is to say the food amount per capita in China should keep at 400kg no matter any generation in future; 2. the"consumption"of agricultural resources and its"renewable ability"should keep a relative balance; 3. Spatial homogeneous situation of agricultural conditions should be gradually reached in China. The three restricting conditions are also called to be proceeding restrict, spatial restrict, and management restrict. In the narrow sense, the author uses comparative analysis between food increase rate and population increase rate to illustrate China's sustainable development of agricultural resources from 1950 to 2050. In the conclusions of the paper, five points are listed as following: 1 . upper limit of China's population is 1.6 billion, 2. the time of reached to population"Zero Increase Point"should be at 2040 or 2050; 3. from 1995 to 2040, the increase rate of China's food should keep at 1 .0% or 1.1% per year, 4. from 1995 to 2040, the increase rate of China's population should keep at 0.75% or 0.85% per year; 5. agricultural sustainable development of China is possible if the control index designed are achieved. Our future of agriculture is"prudent optimistic".
