摘要

中国的农业生态系统受到两个关键的环境约束;干旱可耕地的相对短缺和频繁的区域性缺水或过剩几个世纪以来,为了应对这些制约因素,集约化种植和复杂的水资源控制得到了发展,它们至今仍是中国农业的基石。人和动物的劳动仍然是一个重要的投入,大量的有机肥料也是如此。在可预见的未来,对生物质燃料的依赖也将居高不下。农业现代化为水的控制(灌溉和排水)和氮肥生产带来了最大的进步。然而,现代投入的普遍短缺和质量缺陷将不容易消除。过去三十年的粮食总产量刚刚跟上人口增长的步伐,对粮食生产的片面压力导致食用油、水果,尤其是动物性食品的供应不足。外部能源补贴的总体使用(直接和间接使用矿物燃料和水力发电)仍然相当有限,但1980年代大胆的现代化计划将大大提高这种补贴,从而降低目前较高的产出/投入比率。无论现代化的实际速度如何,对中国日益恶化的环境的密切关注将是至关重要的。土地流失和土壤退化、侵蚀、森林砍伐和污染正以惊人的速度增长,中国农业的长期发展与受保护环境的平衡最终被认为是可持续成功的先决条件。

China's agro-ecosystem

China's agro-ecosystem is circumscribed by two critical environmental constraints; relative shortage of arable land and frequent regional lack or surplus of moisture. Intensive cropping and intricate water controls were developed over the centuries to deal with these constraints, and they remain the cornerstone of China's farming today. Human and animal labor continues to be an essential input, as are large quantities of organic fertilizers. Reliance on biomass fuels will also stay high for the foreseeable future. Farming modernization has brought the greatest advances to water control (both irrigation and drainage) and nitrogenous fertilizer production. However, widespread shortages and qualitative deficiences of modern inputs will not be easily eradicated. Total food output during the past three decades just kept pace with the population growth and the one-sided stress on grain production led to insufficient supply of edible oils, fruits and above all, animal foods. Overall use of external energy subsidies (direct and indirect use of fossil fuels and hydro-electricity) is still rather moderate but bold modernization plans for the 1980's would raise it substantially, thus lowering the currently high output/input ratio. Whatever the actual pace of modernization, careful attention to China's deteriorating environment will be critical. Land losses and soil degradation, erosion, deforestation and pollution are assuming alarming proportions and the long-range development of China's farming in balance with its protected environment is finally being recognized as the precondition of sustainable success.
