The article focuses on the Chinese agricultural sector as of March 2006. It is said that China's ability to be self-sufficient in food will determine much of the future of western agriculture. For the past 20 years, China has been sending plant breeding material into orbit to develop mutated super-varieties. China's demand for products which it cannot produce itself, such as oil, plastic, paper and some metals, will have a huge impact on commodity prices.
