China is a major agricultural power. It dramatically reduced hunger and increased its role in many forums for international governance. However, the Chinese government and society neither played a prominent role in the UNFSS nor in its critique. This article exposes how tensions and ambivalence about agroecology and food sovereignty in China create silences in these discussions, and addressing them within China can also resolve the global tensions that marked the UNFSS as a whole.
中国是一个农业大国。它大幅减少了饥饿,并在许多国际治理论坛中发挥了更大作用。然而,中国政府和社会在联合国粮食体系峰会及其批评中都没有发挥突出作用。本文揭示了中国在农业生态学和粮食主权问题上的紧张关系和矛盾心理如何在这些讨论中造成沉默,而在中国解决这些问题也能够化解标志着整个联合国粮食体系峰会的全球紧张局势。
