In the last few decades, China has undergone significant development, extraordinary industrialization and urbanization, and a massive transformation of the rural landscape. Unfortunately, this profound growth leads to a widening urban-rural income gap, widespread pollution, health problems, a rise in distributional conflict over resources, environmental degradation, bad loans, and financial bubbles. Furthermore, in recent times, domestic growth in China has slowed down. So, in this context, many wonders whether the development has reached a critical point in terms of socioeconomic, environmental, cultural, and political terms. To discuss the above matters, China's renowned agriculturalists and scholars, in collaboration with the UK government, have jointly agreed to have China business events in London with the theme – "The Rural Turning Point in China."

The event is open to international scholars and Chinese academics, development practitioners, and diverse policy arenas for contributing papers, thoughts, and panel around the stated theme. The event's objective involves crucial reflection and rethinking of China's ...
... development status-quo and a contemporary and historical basis for comparing with the other economies. More specifically, this event encourages the participants in considering differences and similarities concerning the Chinese rural-urban integration or divide, lessons that China can gain from such a comparison, and what contributions the Chinese experiences can make methodologically and theoretically to the panel's knowledge and understanding of processes of change and development. Various topics will be discussed, such as China's agricultural development experience, international comparison on development of agriculture and rural institutions, environmental management, and natural resource and property rights analysis. Apart from these, other significant topics include international experiences of safeguarding livelihood and increasing farmer's income, international comparison, and experiences of safety and food, global cooperation on rural poverty reduction, cooperatives as a means to organize agricultural production, global agricultural trade, and rural collaboration, and institutional innovation and agricultural development.

When addressing the topics mentioned above, it is also essential to discuss their specific aspects. For instance, the market (commodities, labor, finance and credit, ownership, and property rights), the state ( fiscal policy, governance, civil society, democratization), society (social inclusion/exclusion, inequality, poverty), and culture (changing social practices, norms, and values, shifting identities, power and discourse, consumerism). Additionally, other aspects need to be discussed at the China business events in London. Such as technology (emerging agricultural forms like hi-tech farming, agribusinesses, agroindustry, skills development, innovation, extension, investment, scale, and commercial integration), climate and environment change (farming practices, impact on natural resources and environmental degradation, green products and organic agriculture, a diversified management and ecologically sustainable farming).

Moreover, topics like social risks, including risk regulation and management regimes, responses to, and perceptions of environmental and societal risks, will also be discussed. Such agribusiness events always occur in various parts of the world where the development practitioners and the concerned scholars share their research findings on rural and agricultural development in China. They also invite distinguished scientists and researchers to China to be a part of China's rural revolution and make the world a safer place to live.
