Abstract

This article examines the four stages of urbanization in China since the first days of the founding and discusses in detail about the relationship between changes in urbanization, the area of cultivated land and the production of grain products. The aim of this study is to clarify the impact of urbanization on cultivated land and grain production, as well as the problems caused by the fall in the amount of cultivated land. China is the country with the largest population, and whether China's food security can be guaranteed depends not only on China itself, but also on the world. Research method - data analysis, comparison. The scientific basis is the data of the National Bureau of statistics and the Land Bulletin of China.
