Urbanization does not mean leaving one's hometown behind, and farmers who move to the city need not give up their land
Urbanization does not mean making farmers "leave their hometown behind"; rather, it means enabling farmers to enjoy the same public services and living conditions as urban residents. In recent years, Dezhou City has explored the "joint development of two zones" - new rural communities and rural industrial parks - achieving for rural community residents "leaving the land but not the village, finding employment without leaving home, entering factories without entering the city, and becoming urbanized in place," blazing a new path of "people-centered, nearby urbanization," effectively solving the land bottleneck problem encountered in the process of urban development, and to a certain extent achieving a win-win of improved farmers' living conditions and long-term rural economic development.

An In-Depth Analysis of the Underlying Problems Behind Farmland Transfer
After the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the CPC, the issue of farmland transfer was elevated to an unprecedented height. All parts of the country sprang into action one after another, and the intensity of the publicity, the prominence of the trend, and the ferocity of the push were enough to overwhelm all other rural work. It is estimated that by the end of 2014, the area of farmland transferred nationwide will approach or exceed 400 million mu, accounting for about 30% of the country's contracted arable land area. In terms of the scale of China's contracted arable land, this is a fairly large proportion; following this, a number of large farmers, large farms and other operating entities have emerged that occupy several thousand mu, more than ten thousand mu, or more than tens of thousands of mu of arable land through transfer, and in terms of China's per capita arable land, this is also a fairly "astonishing" concentration of scale. In November 2014, after the General Offices of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Guiding the Orderly Transfer of Rural Land Operating Rights and Developing Moderate-Scale Agricultural Operations," it will undoubtedly play a regulatory role in land transfer, and the momentum of relying on administrative means to push land transfer will cool down accordingly. But based on past experience and the complexity of China's land issues, its role cannot be overestimated. The undercurrents surging beneath China's farmland transfer deeply interrogate the author's conscience, and this serves as an opportunity to explore the related issues.

Food cold chain development lags behind, food waste is enormous
The ice cream you bought is deformed, the yogurt has water droplets on the surface, and frozen dumplings fall apart as soon as they are boiled.
