New in IGCS - Geography:

Can China feed itself? A System for Evaluation of Policy Options

Ed./Corp.: Gerhard K. Heilig, International Institute for Applied Systems
Analysis, Austria
URL: http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/LUC/ChinaFood/
Language: English.

Self description: "On this Web site we have published results from a 3-year
research project on China's food security."

Description: A fantastic resource including many excellent tables, charts
and maps on topics like Age Groups; Business Skills; Diet Change; Disaster;
Floods; Infrastructure; Land; Pollution; Population; Urbanization; Water;
and many others (currently some 150 topics listed). All are used to answer
the question wether China will be able to feed itself from its own
resources of arable land and water in 2025 or 2050 (the conclusion is that
"China has enough arable land and water to feed its projected population of
1.48 billion in 2025 - even at currently available levels of agricultural
technology").

Site contents: IASA; Title Page; Foreword; Introduction; Arguments; Data;
FAQ; In-depth; Summary; Conclusion; Bibliography; Web Links; Index; Help;
Thanks; About; Presentation; Order Form; Feedback; What others say.

Note: Most data are freely available on-line, only for the in-depth
analyses, the more detailed maps, and many of the larger tables and figures
the CD-ROM has to be purchased.

Resource suggested by Gerhard K. Heilig ([log in to unmask]), IIASA,
Austria.
