Neoliberal Food Regime and Food Security in China: The Political Economy Perspective

Abstract

   Despite all the progress that humanity has made in the area of food production and logistics, food safety remains an important problem. Although the level of production reached is enough to solve the problem permanently, deaths and diseases caused by malnutrition can not be prevented. In this study, firstly the concept of food safety and its components are discussed. The ideological content of the concept of food safety and the relationship with the current food regime are examined. In the second part of the study, China, the world's most populous and fast-growing country, the distance it has taken and its strategy to ensure food security are assessed.
