大城市郊区农业转型与流动农民的再小农化——以上海市为例

Agrarian Transformation in Metropolitan Suburb Area and Migrant Farmers' re-peasantization

城市化的迅猛发展使越来越多的人口在城市聚集并脱离农业,由此催生庞大的农产品市场需求。为顺应这一结构性变迁,大城市郊区的农业由低值的谷物生产向高值的果蔬种植转型。与传统农业相比,这种高附加值的新型农业能够更充分地吸纳就业并产生更高的经济收益。流动农民正是辨识到农业转型带来的市场契机才选择投身大城市郊区农业,展开再小农化的实践。研究大城市郊区农业转型与流动农民的再小农化,对重新评估农业的自身潜能与发展空间,认识农民流动的阶段特征与总体趋势具有重要意义。

With the rapid development of urbanization,more and more people gathered in the city,which gave birth to huge demand for agricultural products market. In order to conform to this structural change,suburban urban agriculture is shifting from low-value grain production to high-value fruit and vegetable cultivation. This new agricultural mode,which is known for producing high-value agricultural products,can more fully absorb employment and generate higher economic benefits. Migrant farmers understand that the agricultural transformation brought about newly market opportunity,therefore,some of them choose to escape from the city’s non-agricultural industries and start small agricultural production in suburban area. Because of this,they turn to be a suburban farmer other than a migrant worker. Analyzing the transformation of metropolitan suburb agriculture is meaningful for reassessment the agricultural development potential.
