A recent study conducted by Nanjing Agricultural University in China analyzed the impact of land use change on grain production in Jiangsu Province. The researchers found that the decrease in cultivated land due to rapid economic development and urbanization has greatly affected food security. Using statistical and remote sensing data, the study calculated the output elasticity of various factors and the technical efficiency of grain production. The results showed that the grain-sown area is the decisive factor for increasing grain output in the province.

The findings have important policy implications for promoting food production and ensuring food security. [Extracted from the article]
