Will China’s countryside become as important as its cities?

The recent announcement by the Chinese government of the relaxation of the one-child policy is casting light on the issue of how China plans to feed its people. The problem is especially acute given the rapid expansion of China’s cities, and the reduction of land available for farming.

In this podcast, Nick Leung, Bruno Roy, and Sheng Hong discuss this issue. Bruno is a Partner who leads McKinsey’s Private Equity Practice in China. Sheng is an Associate Partner in Beijing who leads McKinsey’s work in agriculture. And our host, Nick Leung, is the Managing Partner of McKinsey’s Greater China Practice.
