A rice field and farmer in China (IMAGE)
Caption
Traditional Chinese smallholder fields are irregularly shaped and separated by areas of hedgerows, wild grass, and flowers. Using large-scale machinery in these farmlands is difficult, so there is low agricultural operation efficiency. As a result, a growing proportion of China's traditional farmlands are rapidly changing as farmers consolidate land to improve efficiency.
