Urban Farm DB summary

This 2011 article profiles a rural credit cooperative in Fucheng District, Mianyang, Sichuan Province, China, located at the urban-rural fringe in an area experiencing rapid urban-rural integration. Amid the Chinese Communist Party central government's Document No. 1 policy focus on rural issues, and as three rural issues (agriculture, rural areas and farmers) and agricultural industrialization advanced, central and regulatory bodies adjusted requirements and policies for financial institutions supporting these areas. The Fucheng District Rural Credit Cooperative, following the principle of supporting local economic development and aligning with local agricultural industrialization projects and structural adjustment plans, seized these policy opportunities and served as a leading force in agricultural support, achieving three shifts — including a shift from supporting rural village agriculture toward supporting urban, suburban and export-oriented agriculture.
