Abstract
China has succeeded in sustaining 22% of the world's population with only 7% of the world's farmland. In recent decades, agricultural science has been rapidly developed in China. The objective of this paper is to give a critical review of agricultural science in China from the perspectives of characteristics of regional agriculture, historical evolution of the agricultural system, agricultural policy, and agricultural science and technology. Challenges and perspectives for the development of agricultural science are also identified.
