Focus on World Food Day and advocate green agriculture

It is not easy to read a porridge and a meal, and it is difficult to read half a thread and half a thread of constant thoughts. World Food Day (World Food Day, abbreviated as WFD) is the day when governments around the world commemorate the development of food and agricultural production on October 16 every year.

In November 1979, the 20th session of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization Conference decided that October 16, 1981 (the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization FAO) was the first World Food Day, and this day has been regarded as "World Food Day" every year since then ". Its purpose is to arouse the world's high attention to the development of food and agricultural production.

"Food is the most important thing for the people", and food has always been an irreplaceable foundation in the entire national economy. In 1972, due to two consecutive years of abnormal climate caused by the world's poor harvest, coupled with the Soviet Union's massive rush to buy grain, there was a world food crisis. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations held the first and second food conferences in 1973 and 1974 to arouse the attention of the world, especially the third world, to the issue of food and agricultural production. Governments and people are urged to take action to increase food production, distribute food more rationally and combat hunger and malnutrition. However, the problem has not been solved, and the world food situation has become more serious. The resolution on "World Food Day" was made in this context.

On the earth where human beings live, not only plants and animals, but also the varieties of crops are decreasing day by day. Ancient farmers planted thousands of crops, but only about 150 were widely planted and became the main source of food. Among them, corn, wheat and rice account for about 60%, while most other crop varieties are on the verge of extinction. As crop varieties become more homogeneous and the world's population explodes, the food on the table of the world's food supply is becoming increasingly fragile.

my country is a large agricultural country with a large population. In 2008, my country's total grain volume has exceeded 1000 billion kg, and the per capita grain share level has exceeded 380kg, which is higher than the world's per capita level. In 2013, the total national grain output was 601.935 million tons (1203.87 billion kg). And broke through the 1200 billion kg mark for the first time, achieving the first 10 consecutive years of production increase since the founding of New China. However, the food problem is still a prominent problem in the development of the national economy. Therefore, carrying out publicity and education activities to love and save food and oppose waste is a major event related to the national economy, people's livelihood and social stability. Hard work, diligence and thrift are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. In order to promote the construction of a conservation-oriented society, the National Grain Administration has determined that the theme of the "Food and Food Conservation Publicity Week" is "Food and Building a Conservation-oriented Society". Every citizen must establish the concept of "saving food is glorious, and wasting food is shameful", consciously start from now, start from oneself, save every grain, resist and oppose the behavior of wasting food, and develop a good fashion of diligence and thrift.

On the same day, the State Grain Administration will launch an initiative for the first time to grain cadres and workers across the country, advocating voluntary participation in 24-hour hunger experience activities, so as to better alert the world that "the bumper year does not forget the disaster year, the increase in production does not forget to save", and consumption should not be wasted ".
