Food problem can not be said to have cracked

Editor: Yuan Longping, the father of "hybrid rice" recently accepted an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency during the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Liaoning Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Yuan Longping pointed out: “The breakthrough in hybrid rice breeding has basically solved the grain problems that have plagued China for thousands of years. The next task is to improve the quality under the premise of ensuring high grain yield.” September 18 Xinhuanet conducted an exclusive interview. With the release, then there are also some people who have questions about Yuan’s comments, let's look at other statements that are different from “father of hybrid rice”.

Yuan Longping, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering known as the "father of hybrid rice," recently stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency: "The breakthrough in hybrid rice breeding has basically solved the grain problem that has plagued China for thousands of years." Yuan Longping, 70 years old Together with other experts, we are committed to the research and development of 900 kg of hybrid rice. From the year 2000 to 2004, Chinese scientists led by him successively conquered the 700 kg and 800 kg yields of hybrid rice.

Academician Yuan Longping’s contribution to hybrid rice is a world-renowned attraction. Because of his contribution, China’s rice production has experienced historic breakthroughs. However, if “the basic problem of grain problems that have plagued China for thousands of years” is still a time early.

First of all, rice is only one of the foodstuffs. In China, the composition of food is very complex and varied. In general, rice is mainly in the south and wheat is mainly in the north. Even if the rice production problem is solved, it can only be said to solve the local food problem. Moreover, the natural disasters have continued in recent years and food production has been affected. From 1998 to the present, the total domestic grain output has been declining in most years. Premier Wen Jiabao mentioned in his government work report this year that there are some difficulties and problems in China. First of all, it is more difficult to increase grain production and farmers' income, and there are hidden dangers in food security.

Second, quality issues. The food issue includes two major factors: one is output and the other is quality. If any one of the factors cannot be raised, it is difficult to say that the food issue has been basically solved. To give a simple example, the competitiveness of our country's rice is less than Thai rice, and there is still a lot of room for effort. In fact, even Academician Yuan Longping himself believes: “The next task is to improve quality on the premise of ensuring high grain yield.”

Third, the problem of reducing the area of ​​arable land. Statistics from the Ministry of Land and Resources show that as of October 31 last year, China's arable land area was 1.831 billion mu, a net decrease of 5.424 million mu from the previous year, and the per capita cultivated land in the country was reduced from 1.41 mu to 1.40 mu in the previous year and is approaching safety step by step. The bottom line. In this situation, land violations are still serious. According to the Law Enforcement Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Land and Resources, in the first five months of this year, 25,153 illegal cases were filed by the national land and resources department, involving a total area of ​​1,2241.7 hectares, an increase of nearly 20% year-on-year. Illegal land occupation is becoming more and more unscrupulous in some localities. The illegal land under the leadership of local governments has become more and more illegal, which will inevitably lead to further reduction of cultivated land area.

Fourth, the increase in population. It is estimated that by 2020, China’s population will reach about 1.5 billion. According to the current average per capita grain level and future demand changes, China should have a grain output of 600 million tons, and now it is only about 500 million tons, which means that it needs supply. The total amount of grain will increase by about 100 million tons from the current level. When the area of ​​cultivated land is reduced, it is not easy to achieve this goal.

Fifth, the issue of insufficient land pollution and agricultural inputs. Some localities are pursuing GDP one-sidedly, causing serious environmental pollution and land damage. This not only reduces food production, but also reduces food quality. Moreover, in recent years, insufficient investment has been made in agricultural infrastructure and water conservancy facilities, and over 2/3 of the large- and medium-sized water conservancy facilities have been overloaded with diseased operations, which has reduced the ability of food production to resist natural disasters, and the annual output of grain reduced by about 10 to 15 billion kilograms.

I fear that once people generally accept that the food issue has been basically solved, there will be a sense of paralysis. China’s food is not short-lived but it has far-reaching concerns. We should take a deep sense of urgency to punish illegal land and pollution and protect limited farmland. At the same time, we must constantly improve grain yield and quality to ensure that our country’s food security is perfectly safe.
