Public spending on agriculture in China is crucial for food security and poverty reduction. China has shifted its focus to supporting agriculture, but faces challenges like population growth and trade issues. While China invests more in agriculture than other Asian countries, the money isn't always used effectively. In 2012, a large portion of the budget went to subsidies for agricultural inputs, but not enough was spent on research and environmental issues. The government is trying to reduce inequality by investing in rural areas, but urban residents still benefit more. Overall, more resources are needed for research, environmental protection, and balancing rural-urban income gaps to ensure sustainable agricultural development.
