Perspectives

There is no serious food security threat to China at present. Improving the grain yield is the key method to meet the future food demand in China. Monitoring China’s population change and devising the right population policy are important to the question of food security issue in China. Reducing food waste, curbing unreasonable consumption and promoting healthy and green diet are also important ways to ensure China's food security. Construction of high standard farmland and arable land preservation are quite important to maintain China’s food security level. Other ways to alleviate the food situation is to promptly de-stock excess store when the stored grain exceeds the national security target.
