With the improvement of living standards, the food consumption structure of residents has undergone important changes. The per capita consumption demand for rations has declined, while the consumption demand for meat, eggs, milk, vegetables, fruits and other foods has increased.

It is necessary to establish a big food concept, and on the basis of ensuring food security, ensure the effective supply of various foods such as meat, vegetables, fruits, and aquatic products.

  Food security is the "bigger of the country" and is related to national security and social stability.

At this year's National People's Congress, food security has once again become a hot topic.

Since the beginning of this year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic has continued, and emergencies such as the eruption of the Tonga volcano, the drought in South America, and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine have caused continuous fluctuations in global food prices, causing global food supply concerns.

Only by building a higher-level food security system and ensuring a stable supply of food can we effectively prevent and respond to food crises and even social crises that may be caused by various emergencies.

  The Party and the government have always attached great importance to food security, and have completely solved the problem of food for the Chinese people by relying on their own strength, and have effectively answered the question of "who will feed China".

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has made great efforts to build a food security system. The grain output has been stable at more than 1.3 trillion kilograms for seven consecutive years. Compared with last year's 474 kg, an increase of 9 kg, the Chinese people's rice bowl is firmly in their hands, and the rice bowl is full of Chinese grains.

No matter how the international situation changes, my country has the ability and confidence to ensure the safety of "rice bags", and the more stable the rice bowl, the better the food.

  Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

At present, my country's food supply and demand situation is generally good, and the food supply is guaranteed, but this does not mean that there are no problems, it does not mean that we can sit back and relax, and food insecurity incidents caused by various emergencies may still occur.

In the medium and long term, my country's grain supply and demand balance pattern will not fundamentally change, and food security still faces deep-seated problems such as the hard constraints of resources and the environment, the relatively low efficiency of grain cultivation, regional imbalances in supply, and prominent structural contradictions.

Therefore, we must not be paralyzed on the issue of food security. We must always tighten the string of food security, maintain the determination of our food security strategy, and firmly adhere to the bottom line of ensuring national food security. We must take it in our own hands, and we must not let others get stuck in our necks on the basic survival issue of eating.

  Food production is the most important cornerstone to ensure national food security.

On the basis of achieving "eighteen consecutive harvests" in grain production, this year my country once again set the grain production target as an annual output of more than 1.3 trillion kilograms.

Only by going all out to do a good job in food production can we stabilize the "ballast stone" of food security and hold the rice bowl firmly in our own hands.

It is necessary to stabilize the sown area of ​​grain, optimize the layout, stabilize grain rations, stabilize corn, expand soybeans, and expand oil crops to make up for structural imbalances.

In response to the problem of low grain production efficiency, it is necessary to strengthen policy supply, mobilize and protect the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain and local grain grabbing, stimulate the endogenous power of grain production, strictly implement the strategy of storing grain in the land and technology, and seize the Cultivated land and seeds are the two keys to continuously enhance the comprehensive grain production capacity and maximize the potential of grain supply.

  With the improvement of living standards, the demand for food consumption has shifted from eating well to eating well and eating nutritiously and healthily. Important changes have taken place in the food consumption structure of residents. Demand rises.

It is necessary to establish a big food concept, and on the basis of ensuring food security, ensure the effective supply of various foods such as meat, vegetables, fruits, and aquatic products.

On the premise of protecting the ecological environment, we should expand from limited cultivated land resources to the entire land resources, ask for food from cultivated land, but also from grasslands, forests, and rivers, lakes and seas, and develop food resources in an all-round way and in multiple ways. .

These increases in food supply can not only achieve a balance between the supply and demand of various foods, and better meet people's increasingly diversified food consumption needs, but also directly or indirectly replace traditional staple foods, providing strong support for the realization of food security goals.

  To ensure food security, not only the economic account, but also the political account.

From an economic point of view, the benefits of grain planting are low, and some places are not very motivated to focus on grain production and ensure food security.

All localities should improve their political positions, fully implement the same responsibilities of the party and government, and strictly assess the responsibility for food safety. The main production areas, main sales areas, and production and sales balance areas have the responsibility to ensure the area and output, and effectively stabilize and improve the food self-sufficiency rate in the main sales areas. , to ensure the basic self-sufficiency of grain in the balanced production and marketing area.

As long as all parties work together, we will be able to better fill the "rice bag" and enrich the "vegetable basket", "meat plate" and "milk jar".
