The Background In the process of modernization and urbanization, various regions in China, especially those around megacities, are undergoing drastic transformation. Agriculture is not only intensified, but carried out as an industry, supported by the easy usage of chemicals, fertilizers and climatized greenhouses. Lands are being developed for industrial, commercial or resisidential purposes, historical and cultural relics torn down and extensive traffic networks cut trough the landscape. The pollution of rivers, lakes and the air, never ending noise from traffic and construction sites dastically reduce the quality of living in these areas.
