Putting an end to food waste requires a heavy blow in all directions.

Recently, data released by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the State Food Administration show that 35 percent of China's annual grain production is wasted, of which 70 billion jin are wasted every year just outside the table, such as grain storage, transportation and processing. It is close to 6% of China's total grain output, which is equivalent to the annual grain output of Jilin Province, a major grain-producing province. The loss and waste of consumption is even more shocking. according to the estimates of relevant experts, the amount of food wasted on the dinner table in our country is about 200 billion yuan every year, which is equivalent to the annual food rations of more than 200 million people. Post-natal grain depletion has become an important factor affecting China's food security.

China's grain supply and demand is in a tight balance, and grain imports have continued to increase in recent years, importing more than 100 billion jin of grain and soybeans every year, while hundreds of billions of jin of grain are lost and wasted every year. The comparison is distressing. If the loss and waste of food is not resolutely curbed, it is not only likely to aggravate the contradiction between domestic food supply and demand, but also incompatible with the situation of global resource supply and demand. To a certain extent, managing granaries and opposing waste is tantamount to keeping the red line of cultivated land, while saving food and opposing waste is not only conducive to reducing the pressure on the balance of domestic food supply and demand and ensuring national food security. it is also conducive to improving global food supply and demand. Solving the problem of food waste has risen to the national strategic level.

Reducing the waste of post-natal grain is inseparable from the progress of science and technology and the improvement of infrastructure construction. fundamentally, it is necessary to change the concept of management and realize the transformation from extensive management to fine management. Some grain enterprises and regulators that still have the concept of light weight and quality should see that loss is equivalent to increasing production. According to preliminary estimates, the comparative benefit of reducing unit grain loss is significantly higher than that of increasing unit grain production, and at the same time, cultivated land and water resources are saved. Therefore, scientific management can not stop at the production link, but should run through every link of grain loss. It is very necessary to replace traditional and inefficient means with innovative and effective technologies, and requires the joint participation of the government, society, and enterprises. in particular, government departments should do a good job in the construction of hardware facilities and popularize scientific grain storage knowledge. similar accidents caused by grain storage fires should never happen again.

The waste of consumption should pay more attention to the change of social concept. After our country has completed the transformation from hunger and poverty to basic well-off society at a miraculous speed, the fine character of diligence and thrift has been gradually abandoned. Grain impairment is essentially a social management problem. On the one hand, the management of food and consumption of public funds applies the Law to put an end to the waste caused by eating and drinking of public funds through legislation, financial budget, supervision, strict accountability and even investigation of legal responsibility. On the other hand, the management of social behavior should apply "reason". The education of reasonable consumption and anti-waste should go to the campus, the unit and the restaurant, gradually change the social concept, and form the good habit of saving food.

"one porridge and one rice is hard to come by." Can we not forget hunger and cold in food and clothing, do not forget disaster years in bumper years, do not forget economy in increasing production, and consumption should not be wasted. All sectors of society should make unremitting efforts, practice economy, and carry forward the tradition of "better shed a thousand drops of sweat than spoil a grain of grain".
