Theoretical Construction and Policy Paths to the Transformation of China's Agrifood Systems under the New Situation
The agrifood systems is essential for achieving national nutrition,food security,ecological civiliza-tion,"double carbon"goals,and common prosperity.Under the new situation,the development environment and the international market are changing complexly.The agrifood systems urgently need transformation to bet-ter cope with the challenges of multiple risks and achieve China's multiple development goals.Although exist-ing studies have partially proposed some solutions,they are relatively scattered and lack a unified research framework and systematic research plans.Transforming the agrifood systems to achieve primary national devel-opment goals is still a complex problem.This study analyzes the theoretical basis and framework,transforma-tion plans and paths,and policy systems of China's agrifood systems transformation under the new situation.Research shows that under the new situation,the focus of the agrifood systems has changed from a single goal of food quantity security to sustainable development that is oriented toward nutrition and health,with food se-curity as the cornerstone,resources and the environment as constraints,and common prosperity as the condi-tion.The nexus of nutrition,agrifood,and environment is at the center of China's agrifood systems,and it calls to maximize the joint coordination of the three,minimize their tradeoffs,and move towards the direction of high-quality and high-efficiency,nutrition and health,sustainability and low carbon,resilience,and in-clusiveness.In the process of promoting the transformation of the agrifood systems,it is necessary to build poli-cy systems,including organizational structures,supports and subsidies,scientific and technological research and development,incentive mechanisms,and global cooperation,to better guide,promote,and encourage technological breakthroughs,organizational innovation,system optimization,and behavioral changes.
