Environment, Water Resources and Agricultural Policies

Lessons from China and OECD Countries

China's endowment of water resources is extremely low, poorly distributed, and increasingly polluted.  With agriculture being one of the main consumers of water, China's future development depends on initiatives that will raise the efficiency and efficacy of water use.  These workshop proceedings examine the current situation in China, look at what is being done in OECD countries to manage water resources, and suggest policy options for China.

This paper presents a retrospective analysis of the history of fertiliser use in China, discusses the significance of fertilisers in the development of the national agricultural sector, and assesses the present situation and existing problems.
