Farmland in periurban Beijing is owned by local rural collective units (village committees) but is primarily cultivated by migrants without local hukou (household registration). This is different from the typical agricultural production in China where farmland is both owned and cultivated by the local rural population. Two case studies (see figure 1) were conducted in Haidian district of the Beijing suburbs to explore how migrants in Beijing gain access to land.
