Abstract

This article presents the context of food system in China, and discusses how genetic modification policy of the country is affected by the change in the food system which is reflected in the debate on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). An overview of the development of biotechnology in China followed by an analysis of the theoretical framework of food system is given to analyze the transformation of China's genetic modification policy. This article concludes with a brief review of the Chinese government's framework and contemporary propositions based on the major research questions and the debate about biotechnology as reflected in China's food policy.

Biotechnology food system policies GMOs China.
