Comprehensive guarantees for national food security

A publicity campaign for national food security and World Food Day, which falls on Oct 16 every year, was launched on Monday.

Facing the complex global food security situation, such a national publicity initiative is conducive to helping the whole society deepen its understanding of food security and creating a favorable public opinion environment for implementing relevant policies on food security.

In recent years, China has comprehensively strengthened its grain production, circulation and reserve capacity, and made great achievements in the cause of food security. Keeping the Chinese people's rice bowls firmly in their own hands is in itself a big contribution to world food security, as the country accounts for nearly one-fifth of the global population.
