N2  - The livestock sector of China today is barely recognizable to that of two decades ago. The enormous change and growth of the industry will continue to have profound effects both within China and internationally. Understanding China's livestock revolution requires an in-depth study of the forces at work in the market, policy, institutional and agribusiness environment in rural China. This is achieved through an investigation of the emerging and especially intriguing sheep meat industry. The authors also draw upon their extensive field work based research on other livestock industries in China over the last two decades to enrich the analysis and identify broader trends throughout the livestock sector as a whole. This book is a significant addition to the literature on China's agricultural economy. It is an especially valuable resource for researchers, policy makers and industry participants concerned with China's ruminant livestock and meat sector
