520 "Is China building a new empire in rural Africa? Over the
past decade, China's meteoric rise on the continent has
raised a drumbeat of alarm. China has 9 percent of the
world's arable land, 6 percent of its water, and over 20
percent of its people. Africa's savannahs and river basins
host the planet's largest expanses of underutilized land
and water. Few topics are as controversial and emotionally
charged as the belief that the Chinese government is
aggressively buying up huge tracts of prime African land
to grow food to ship back to China. In Will Africa Feed
China?, Deborah Brautigam, one of the world's leading
experts on China and Africa, probes the myths and
realities behind the media headlines. Her careful research
challenges the conventional wisdom; as she shows, Chinese
farming investments are in fact surprisingly limited, and
land acquisitions modest. Defying expectations, China
actually exports more food to Africa than it imports. Is
this picture likely to change? African governments are
pushing hard for foreign capital, and China is building a
portfolio of tools to allow its agribusiness firms to "go
global." International concerns about "land grabbing" are
well-justified. Yet to feed its own growing population,
rural Africa must move from subsistence to commercial
agriculture. What role will China play? Moving from the
halls of power in Beijing to remote irrigated rice paddies
of Africa, Will Africa Feed China? introduces the people
and the politics that will shape the future of this
engagement: the state-owned Chinese agribusiness firms
that pioneered African farming in the 1960s and the
entrepreneurial private investors who followed them. Their
fascinating stories, and those of the African farmers and
officials who are their counterparts, ground Brautigam's
deeply informative, deftly balanced reporting. Forcefully
argued and empirically rich, Will Africa Feed China? will
be a landmark work, shedding new light on China's evolving
global quest for food security and Africa's possibilities
for structural transformation"--|cProvided by publisher.
