Reducing Grain Losses to Safeguard Food Security Is a Matter of Urgency
On the occasion of the arrival of the 24th National Grain-Loving and Grain-Saving Publicity Week, the State Administration of Grain stated today that our country's post-harvest grain loss and waste is very large, and the potential for saving and treasuring grain is enormous. According to estimates by relevant research institutions and experts, due to crude household grain storage facilities and grain loading,

Reducing grain loss equals increasing production, and the potential for saving grain is enormous
In recent years, China has continuously raised its overall grain production capacity through various measures, achieving bumper harvests year after year. However, post-harvest grain loss and waste in China is enormous, with annual grain waste approaching 6% of total annual output, which has become a negative factor that cannot be ignored in safeguarding food security.

Reducing the Proportion of Corn in Feed Helps Break Free from the Vicious Cycle of Selling Low and Buying High
In the past, pig farming sometimes yielded zero profit; now things are better - using straw instead of corn as feed can increase income by 200 yuan per pig raised. These words from Liu Bin, a farmer in Kalun Village, Xingyuan Township, Songyuan Economic and Technological Development Zone, capture the encouraging changes in the village's pig farming industry. In earlier years, pork

State Grain Administration: China has huge potential and space for saving grain and reducing losses
Reducing losses and waste is equivalent to increasing output. Yan Bo, Director of the Policy and Law Department of the State Grain Administration, introduced that based on China's total grain output of 1.2 trillion jin in 2013, if the grain loss rate were reduced by 2 percentage points, 24 billion jin of grain could be saved in one year, close to the amount of grain output increase in 2013

What are the technical paths for reducing chemical fertilizer use and increasing its efficiency?
On March 17 this year, the Ministry of Agriculture proposed striving to achieve zero growth in the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on major crops by 2020. The key to achieving this goal is to grasp well the "precision, adjustment, improvement and substitution": advancing precision fertilization, adjusting the structure of chemical fertilizer application, improving fertilization methods

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,

Technical Guidance on Reducing Losses in Mechanized Wheat Harvesting was issued by the Ministry of Agriculture in 2015
This technical guidance applies to wheat harvesting operations using full-feed combine harvesters. Within a given area, wheat varieties and planting patterns should be as uniform and consistent as possible, and crop and field conditions should be suitable for mechanized harvesting. Operators should inspect and adjust the machinery in advance

Post-harvest grain waste is severe, and reducing grain loss cannot be ignored
When it comes to grain waste, people's attention mostly focuses on the visible waste at the dining table and rarely pays attention to losses in the various links after grain production. In the post-production links alone, China loses more than 70 billion jin of grain a year, close to 6% of China's total grain output, equivalent to the annual grain output of
