¡¡¡¡CCAP firmly believes that China can, through its own hard work,
satisfy its growing demand for agricultural goods in an increasingly
efficient and sustainable way. China also must effectively reduce
poverty and realize a balanced rural and urban growth and development
that benefits all. In addition to this, CCAP believes that the modernization
of agriculture will contribute to China's economic development.
¡¡¡¡CCAP's mission is to undertake rigorous
basic and applied research that helps analyze the problems and challenges
facing China's agricultural policy-makers and producers. The Center's
research also seeks to better understand the factors contributing
to and constraining the nation's agricultural and rural economic
development. The task of CCAP has five objectives; it should: 1)
provide a scientific foundation for policy-makers (both governmental
and private) to understand the agricultural economy; 2) suggest
needed policy choices for realizing the goal of sustainable economic
development based on rational use of natural resources and the sustainable
development of agriculture; 3) promote the development of agricultural
economics and related applied sciences, produce a new generation
of highly skilled agricultural economists and policy researchers;
4) bridge the dialogue between China's economists and social scientists
and other academics outside of China; and 5) accelerate the dissemination
of CCAP's research results to the wider public as a service to government
and society.
