Abstract
Since its agricultural reform China has achieved great progress in improving the supply of food provisions and paying more attention to food safety. On the other hand, with its transition from a traditional organic-based agriculture to a fossil-fuel dependent agriculture, the contamination of food and the environment has become so serious that sustainable food production systems have become necessary. Under these conditions, the Chinese government has, since 1990, advocated and carried out "Green Food" projects in order to improve food safety and the environment. This paper analyzes the development progress and present conditions, and points out the problems in the development of "Green Food" production in China by using available statistical and survey data.
