The implementation of the strategy of storing grain in the land and technology highlights the new way of food security.

The 13th Five-Year Plan proposes to adhere to the strictest farmland protection system, adhere to the red line of cultivated land, implement the strategy of storing grain in the land and storing grain in technology, improve grain production capacity, and ensure the basic self-sufficiency of grain and absolute safety of rations.

Experts believe that the proposal of the strategy of storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology highlights the new path of food security in China.

"Grain is the life of the people and the treasure of the country." Grain is a strategic industry to stabilize the world and stabilize the people's hearts. However, under the circumstances that the constraints on cultivated land, fresh water and other resources are intensified, what to rely on to improve the comprehensive grain production capacity has become a prominent issue facing the sustainable development of China's economy and society.

"The implementation of the strategy of storing grain in the ground and storing grain in technology is proposed in the form of a central document, which reflects the central government's high attention to ensuring grain production capacity and a new idea of food security to ensure production capacity." Qin Fu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

The 13th Five-Year Plan proposes to comprehensively demarcate permanent basic farmland, promote farmland water conservancy, land improvement, medium and low-yield farmland transformation and high-standard farmland construction on a large scale, strengthen the construction of major agricultural production areas such as grain, and explore the establishment of functional areas for grain production and protection areas for important agricultural products. Promote agricultural standardization and informatization. We will improve the supervision system for the whole process of agricultural product quality and safety from farmland to dining table, the modern agricultural science and technology innovation and promotion system, and the agricultural socialization service system. Develop modern seed industry and improve agricultural mechanization level.

At present, China's medium-and low-yield farmland accounts for 2/3 of the cultivated area, and the effective irrigation area accounts for only a little more than half. The situation of relying on heaven for food has not been fundamentally changed. In addition, in recent years, the contribution of agricultural science and technology to grain production in China has increased year by year. At present, the contribution rate of agricultural science and technology progress has reached 56%, more than 10 percentage points higher than that of 10 years ago, but there is still a big gap compared with developed countries.
