Seed industry technological innovation empowered national food security:mechanism,evolution and challenge
Scientific and technological innovation in seed industry can enhance national food security by enhancing grain production capacity,improving grain quality and enhancing seed autonomy,which is an important focus of implementing the strategy of"storing grain in technology".The development of China's seed industry has expe-rienced three historical periods of"self-sufficiency"(1949-1977),"self-research+introduction and absorption"(1978-2010),and"independent innovation"(After 2011)to ensure the quantity and quality of grain,which have made outstanding contributions to food security.At present,China's seed industry innovation is facing challenges such as weak innovation ability,core technology subject to others,weak strength of species enterprises,lack of in-ternational competitiveness,lack of germplasm resources,lack of diversity,weak protection of intellectual property rights,frustration of enterprises'research and development enthusiasm.In the future,measures such as increasing investment in seed research and development,cultivating innovative talents in the seed industry,encouraging large-scale development of seed industry enterprises,improving the germplasm resource sharing system,and improving the intellectual property protection system should be taken to enhance the innovation ability of the seed industry and ensure national food security.
