China's Livestock Revolution: Agribusiness and Policy Developments in the Sheep Meat Industry
Edited by S Waldron, University of Queensland, Australia, C B Brown, University of Queensland, Australia, J W Longworth, University of Queensland, Australia, C G Zhang, China Academy of Agricultural Sciences
Main Description
China is one of the world's largest developing agricultural countries and dominates the international livestock revolution in terms of its aggregate size and growth rate. While the sheep meat industry is still in the early stages of development, it is an excellent example of the upheaval taking place in Chinese agriculture. This book focuses on the growing sheep meat industry while drawing on associated research from other areas of the Chinese livestock section. Using this research, the authors use the sheep meat industry case study to illustrate the broader trends that apply more generally to the Chinese livestock sector, especially in the case of ruminant livestock.
Readership
Researchers and policy makers in agribusiness and agricultural economics.
