Summary: Despite its huge population and expanding industrial economy, most of China's inhabitants are farmers.

Featuring visits to large-scale and family-operated farms, a walk along the Great Wall, and an interview with the U.S. embassy's agricultural attache, the program illuminates China's efforts to improve crop yields, food distribution, and environmental conditions.
