How Does the Citizenization of Migrant Workers Affect China's Food Supply and Demand
At present, China is in the period of transition from the mid-stage to the late stage of industrialization and of accelerated urbanization, and faces the major task of ensuring national food security and the effective supply of major agricultural products. Since 2004, China's grain production has achieved the great feat of "eleven consecutive years of increase," but according to estimates by the Ministry of Agriculture, the self-sufficiency rate of grain, including soybeans, fell from 100% in 2003 to 91% in 2011, making the "tight balance" between supply and demand even more prominent.

Green agriculture does not mean returning to traditional farming
Driven by modern science and technology, China's agricultural output growth has outpaced population growth, successfully achieving the goal of "producing more."

Where does the strange phenomenon of grain's "three quantities rising together" come from: price inversion and competition
In the past two years, a strange phenomenon has appeared in China's grain sector: annual grain output has remained stable at more than 600 million tons and increased year by year, but import volume has grown rapidly, while grain inventories have also continued to grow, with particularly severe backlogs of corn and other varieties.

What does governance-driven drought teach us
In recent years, field surveys have often revealed the "last mile" problem: the state invests trillions of yuan in rural areas every year, building large water conservancy facilities, roads connecting villages, rural libraries and agricultural technology service stations, providing farmers with infrastructure and public services

The Internet Plus does not play favorites with the rich or the poor, adding momentum to rural development
A situation I learned about in Gansu Province these past few days while accompanying a State Council inspection team made me quite surprised. When the province reported to the inspection team on vigorously developing new industries and new business forms, it mentioned one thing: in 2014, the Gansu Provincial Government and Alibaba Group signed a strategic cooperation framework

Food security does not rely on Sinograin, so what does it rely on for protection?
With grain in hand, the heart is at ease. This is the core idea of our country's grain policy. It sounds fine, but unfortunately the real world has costs. The first problem is that grain prices are pushed up, and our country has become a high-price zone in the international grain market. From wheat and corn to rice, although

Why does reducing fertilizer use and increasing efficiency in agriculture not affect food security?
Chemical fertilizers have made an indelible contribution to China's consecutive years of agricultural harvests, but as chemical fertilizer use in China has increased, its efficiency in boosting crop yields has been declining, and it has even brought impacts on the ecological environment. In fact, reducing fertilizer use, especially for cash crops such as vegetables and fruits,

To safeguard food security, what does it take to fortify the world's granary?
As the world's granary, Sinograin, on the grand scale, bears on national food security; on the small scale, it bears on the people's daily food supply. Operating safely and effectively is its first priority. As the primary implementer of grain reserves, Sinograin has an enormous reserve scale, like a small horse pulling a big cart,
