“…The COVID-19 pandemic changed travel preferences from overcrowded metropolises toward spacious rural areas. Driven by the ever-increasing demand for access to nature, city dwellers, especially middle-income groups, usually view rural areas with exotic scenery, environment-friendly products, and traditional culture as "the third space" [28]. These venues provide a way to enjoy the leisure and feel nature's healing power and the nostalgia of countryside life.…”

The agricultural sector’s supply-side reform is fundamental to ensuring food security and social stability. This paper uses a comprehensive analysis method to reflect on China’s agricultural reform from 1970 to 2020. We observe that China’s agriculture made significant progress before 2020 due to preferential policies and demographic dividends. This production-oriented mode has led to the co-existence of overstocking, the rapid growth of imports, and ecological degradation. A follow-up survey acknowledged that rural complex is a comprehensive social network with substantial radiant effect involving government-sponsored projects, sector-specific programs, corporate and societal assistance. The sustainable development of the rural complex lies in industrial planning, system restructuring, and institutional arrangement. Therefore, this article anchors its system structure under the ESG principle and green development philosophy. It diversifies the agro-economy to advance digitalization and de-carbonization of the rural economy.

“…Research on these small-scale organic farms farming in China currently focuses on its socio-economic issues, such as its development in different areas [21], driving factors and marketing [26], economic performances and challenges [27,28]. However, little has been explored regarding the extent and degree of environmental contribution of these farms, which is widely taken for granted.…”

Small-scale organic farming is developing rapidly in China, especially in suburbs of megacities, and enriches the connotation of urban agriculture–. Much attention has been paid to the socio-economic aspects of small-scale organic farming and takes for granted that it contributes to the local environment and the sustainable agriculture while little has been explored regarding its actual environmental contributions and associated influencing factors, especially in those rapid developing suburb areas. Based on the case study of three small-scale organic farms in the suburbs of Shanghai, we examined uncertificated organic farming practices, focusing on the farm diversity, fertilization and pest control without chemical inputs, and the restoration of biosystems. Potential of environmental contributions were evaluated from the production perspective of input reductions. It was found that such uncertificated small-scale organic farming does contribute to the local water environment, helping improve soil quality, and gradual recovery of farm biodiversity. However, all the environmental benefits are fragile and highly dependent on the profit availability and professional knowledge of the farm as well as the availability of policy supports.
