About:

China's economic reforms began in the rural land system, and continued the household contract responsibility system and land collective ownership in the form of scattered contracting of small-scale farmers' economy for many years. At present, the land system has become one of the most important factors affecting the thorough citizenization of farmers as the population continues to flow into the city. Although the state encourages the transfer of agricultural land, it has not fundamentally changed the rural land system, and long-term problems still exist. In the end, is the rural land system a shareholding, publicization or still continuing the current practice? Or is there any other better way to deal with it? The meeting plans to invite experts in relevant fields and officials of government departments to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various programs.
