    Global

    L'apparition de la crise financière internationale a fait naître l'espoir que celle-ci pourrait être utilisée comme une opportunité de réforme radicale du système économique mondial. Mais la riposte n'a pas été à la hauteur des attentes: les acteurs principaux se préoccupent surtout de leurs intérêts nationaux, une solution aux problèmes structurels à long terme de l'économie mondiale n?est pas en vue.

    In 1978, the rural reform began in China, and since then farmers, including the poor ones, have benefited from a steady growth in income and gradually strengthened food security. This article explains how China achieved food security in the past three decades, how the reform process has affected poverty reduction and what aims are established to deal with extreme poverty and child malnutrition for the period of 2011–2020.
