Tuntian (屯田) or tunken (屯墾) was a form of frontier "military-agricultural colony" or settler colony in the history of China. Troops were sent to take over strategic under- or uncultivated land and convert it into a self-sustained, agrarian colony. In other words, the soldiers doubled as farmers. The system was adopted by other regimes throughout the Chinese cultural sphere.
