Why the food issue cannot be measured in economic terms alone
More than 1.3 billion mouths to feed, every meal matters, not a single day can go without food. Food security cannot be measured by economic accounts alone; it must also be measured by people's livelihood. Does the fact that grain has been harvested abundantly for years on end mean we can ease off on the drive to grow grain? Based on the Ministry of Agriculture's crop monitoring and actual harvests across the country, the summer grain harvest is expected to reach a new high, laying a solid foundation for a bumper harvest for the whole year. With the support of the Party's policies to strengthen agriculture and benefit farmers, China's grain output has achieved an "eleven consecutive increases," and last year grain output stabilized at the 1.2 trillion jin level for the second time. As this year's summer grain harvest is once again abundant, some people sigh that since grain has yielded such high harvests for so many years, there is no need to keep pushing so hard on grain production. Such a sign is unacceptable; we must keep a very clear head.
