Since the mid-2000s China\u2019s central government has been nancing an aggressive overhaul of its farming sector. Predicating this drive on a need to increase food security, the state has invested billions to rapidly replace small-scale farming households with large-scale, mechanized and commercialized agricultural operators. In so doing, it is fundamentally altering not just rural societies and economies, but the landscape itself. is presentation examines the impact of this policy through an ethnographic study of one of China\u2019s rst agricultural modernization demonstration zones. is agricultural modernization reform has resulted in small income gains and improved production conditions for many. However, it has also decreased agricultural productivity, legitimized and incentivized the expulsion or marginalization of small-scale farm households and weakened agroecological resilience.<\/p>\n
