Challenges and Countermeasures of Food Supply-Demand Balance in China Under the Greater Food Approach
Over the past few decades,significant changes have occurred in the relationship between food supply and demand in China and the concept of food security has gradually shifted from the tradi-tional emphasis on grain security to a multi-target approach focusing on quantity,nutrition and sustain-able development,known as the Greater Food Approach.Under this approach,China will face many chal-lenges in balancing food supply and demand in the future,including structural food shortages and declin-ing food self-sufficiency;spatial mismatch between food supply and demand,and significant differences in food consumption among different groups of people;increasing constraints on ecological and water re-sources,and the urgent need to enhance sustainable production capacity.Additionally,there are issues re-lated to unbalanced dietary patterns and the coexistence of malnutrition,excessive nutrition,and deficien-cies in micronutrients.Furthermore,the existing policy systems does not fully meet the requirements of the Greater Food Approach.To address the above challenges,it is necessary to comprehensively utilize national resources,increase food sources through multiple channels,reform government subsidy and sup-port policies,and promote the development of the diversified food industry.Simultaneously,efforts are re-quired to strengthen food education and publicity and to promote the establishment of a health-oriented di-versified dietary pattern.The government should establish a cross-sectoral coordination mechanisms and strengthen the statistics and evaluation of diversified food supply.
