Abstract

Teaching Note for HBS Case No. 316-150. The case introduces students to an innovative new agricultural venture on the outskirts of Beijing. It can be used as a platform to discuss broader issues of agricultural policy reform and regional disparities in social and economic development in China. Following the case discussion, students should understand the role of farmers in the modern Chinese economy, the regulatory interests that govern agricultural policy, and the opportunities for innovation in agriculture. They will also realize that the fundamental challenge underlying all of these opportunities is the lack of property rights in China.
