Theoretical Construction and Governance Approaches for National Food Security in the New Era
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China,Xi Jinping's important discourse on food security has systematically elaborated on and responded to the major theoretical and practical issues of food security in the new era.Building upon the explanation of the"general objective,general requirement,general task,general policy,and general path"of food security in the new era,this paper further uncovers the underlying theoretical,historical,and practical logic.This paper follows the theoretical logic of"product-commodity-special commodity"to clarify the attributes and strategic value of food.It reviews the historical logic of"local differentiation-resource matching-governance transformation"to elucidate the trajectory of establishing the food security policy system.Additionally,it focuses on the practical logic of"the road of industrialization and technologization,the road of factor agglomeration,the road of the county,the road of industry,the road of security"to clarify the path to ensuring food security.To better guarantee food security,China should adhere to the"subject theory",the"farmland management and technological application theory"and the"autonomy theory".Efforts should be made to mobilize the"incentive to grow and control food",implement an in-depth"food crop production strategy based on farmland management and technological application",and make comprehensive use of the"two types of domestic and foreign resources".
