Consultation paper: how China’s food-security strategy could reshape global agricultural commodity supply chains
China is poised to reshape global agricultural commodity supply chains as it accelerates a push for food security.
This consultation paper synthesises the available evidence into a central hypothesis: that China has begun to apply to food and agriculture some of the same system-level tools it has previously used in sectors such as energy and transport. It considers what that could mean for domestic production, global trade flows and the future of protein supply. The purpose of this paper is to invite discussion on the assumptions, signals and scenarios presented and to use this to collectively shape more sustainable outcomes for all stakeholders involved.
