Actively Responding to the Impact of Climate Change on China's Agricultural Production
Against the backdrop of global warming, the frequency and intensity of extreme drought events are steadily intensifying, and China's agricultural production is increasingly affected by extreme drought events. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics show that from the 1950s to the first decade of this century, the affected area of China's crops doubled, and the damaged area increased by 2.8 times; over the same period, the severity of the damage increased markedly, with the damage rate among affected areas rising from 32% to 58%; in addition, the scope of impact of extreme drought events expanded from the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the 1950s to the vast areas of Northeast China, the northwest interior and the southwest today. Improving agriculture's capacity to adapt to climate change is an important component of implementing the national master plan for climate change adaptation and is crucial to safeguarding China's food security.

National Forum of Major Grain-Producing Counties: Let grain farmers benefit and let major producing areas not lose out
Among the 800 major grain-producing counties that account for nearly three-quarters of the country's total grain output, more than 100 are national-level poverty-stricken counties, with 36 million poor people. This shows that the phenomenon of "grain-finance inversion" between China's grain output and county-level fiscal capacity is already very obvious, and may bring hidden dangers to food security.
