Abstract

[Extract] The People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Indian Subcontinent face formidable challenges in the quest for their future food security. On the demand side, their large and increasing population, rising consumer incomes, and growing urbanization will continue to increase total food consumption. In the meantime, changes in dietary patterns associated with rising income and urbanization will lead to increased demand for diverse and high-quality foods. On the supply side, limited and declining agricultural production resources with deteriorating quality, climate variability, and uncertain levels of agricultural investment will place pressure to further increase domestic food production. Hence, how their demand for, and supply of food, will change is important for their own future food security and also in other parts of Asia and globally. This chapter carries out simulations to examine how their food demand and supply may change in the future.
