Farmers on Behalf of Farmers: a Study on the Production and Life of Small Farmers in the Pearl River Delta and Beijing Suburbs
About This Novel
"Farmers" are migrant workers who contract and rent land from local communities. They made a living by growing grains in the early days and then mainly growing vegetables and fruits. The groups come in various forms and are distributed in the suburbs of Beijing, the Yangtze River Delta and other urban suburbs. The core of this book is to take vegetable farmers in urban suburbs as an example to reveal the limits that contemporary small farmers can reach in terms of production and life, and to make corresponding reflections. The content of this book focuses on the contract farming community in the Pearl River Delta, mostly journal papers published since 2013; some of the content on the suburbs of Beijing is mainly supported by the latest research reports.
