Granted that the peasant population has not advanced in China, I did mention 
that sustainable agriculture should be the goal. As I said, both the USA and 
China could learn a lot from Cuba, which has put much scientific and technical 
expertise behind their organic ag. program.  

The fact that the Chinese state has neglected this sector does not mean it 
should continue to do so. Such neglect reinforces popular conceptions of the 
onerous and labor intensive characteristics of peasant agriculture. Agriculture 
needs to be restored in popular consciousness as a noble profession. 

The problem is not necessarily something that would be automatically solved by 
a revolutionary upheaval. The problem runs deeper than that.   

Of course, land tenure patterns cannot be ignored either.
