  • Food Production in Chongqing, China: Opportunities and Challenges
    Middle States Geographer, 2016, 49: 55-62 FOOD PRODUCTION IN CHONGQING, CHINA: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES M. Rock*, S. Engel-Di Mauro*, S. Chen, M. Iachetta, A. Mabey, K. McGill, J. Zhao Department of Geography, State University of New York at New Paltz 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz, NY 12561 ABSTRACT: Urban food production (UFP) has been the subject of much interest, especially in light of worldwide urbanization trends. There have been many place-specific studies and overviews about UFP, but very little in China. Studies investigating enabling and constraining conditions and people’s motivations for UFP have also largely omitted China and they have entirely missed one of the fastest growing cities in the world, Chongqing. Research was carried out in several districts of Chongqing to assess the social composition of urban farmers and the conditions they face, as well as find out their reasons for farming in the city. Methods included transect walks, semi-structured interviews, crop inventory, and soil field analysis. Thirty interviews were carried out involving 37 participants, and crop and soil descriptions were completed at 28 and 15 sites, respectively. Results indicate that a majority of urban food producers are women and people older than 30 years. Most are not city natives and little more than half have had prior farming experience. They grow food often on thin soils in marginal spaces, usually having precarious land access contingent on business or government decisions that can lead to eviction or field destruction. Nevertheless, farmers grow a diversity of crops and sometimes raise other animals. Most farming is for subsistence and/or recreational and social networking possibilities afforded by UFP.

In this study, Landsat images from the summers of 2001, 2004, 2009, 2014 and 2018 were used to identify land cover type in six districts of Chongqing’s main city. Land cover was categorized as water, vegetation or impervious surface with the object-oriented method. Land surface temperature (LST) data was calculated with the atmospheric radiation transfer equation method, and was then divided into different heat island intensity grades. Next, the spatial and temporal changes in land cover type and heat island effect were analyzed in the six districts. Center migration analysis and heat island coefficients were used to quantitatively reflect the spatiotemporal evolution relationship between land cover and heat island effect. All six districts exhibited a trend of expanding impervious surface, with a 419.38% increase from 2001 to 2018, and shrinking vegetation, with a 17.81% decrease from 2001 to 2018.
