China's ruling Communist Party said Sunday it aims to double the income of the country's farmers in two decades amid efforts to boost domestic demand to counter the effects of the faltering global economy. The move is part of an agricultural reform and development plan approved by the party's Central Committee at the end of a four-day meeting, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
