What new concept of food security do we need?

Food security is closely related to social harmony, political stability and sustainable economic development. Under the "new normal" of economic development, according to the national conditions of China's population, land, urbanization, industrialization and people's living standards during the 13th five-year Plan period, it is predicted that China's grain demand will further increase in the next six years. People's demand for the quality of grain varieties has increased rapidly, and the contradiction between supply and demand will be relatively relaxed, but the contradiction between quality and variety will be further prominent. At the same time, China's food security will face the challenges of resources and environment constraints and opportunities such as deepening reform and opening up, and rapid progress of agricultural technology.

Therefore, according to the national food and food security intention, it is necessary to establish a new food security concept and principles from single security to full chain security, from yield security to ecological security, from negative security to positive security, and from food security to food security. deal with the contradiction between supply and demand, domestic and global, government and market, security and efficiency. An efficient and open modern food security system will be basically built by 2020.
