great important part. china has only 7% of the world’s land. it is on this arable land that the farmers produce food for the whole population of china. fishing is important and freshwater fish can be seen everywhere. vegetable waste is used to feed pigs and chickens. gas produced from human and animal waste is used for heating and cooking. if the rest of the world also fully developed agriculture like china, there would be no starvation.
