China News Service, Dingxi, Gansu, September 27 (Zhang Jing) “Science and technology are pushing grain growth to the limit, but the uncertainty of climate change is also having an increasing impact on agricultural production.” . Chen Wenfu, academic at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, 26 It is said that it is necessary to build one billion mu of high-quality grain fields, ensure an annual grain production capacity of 500 million tons, invest in project construction of farmland water conservation, especially farmland water conservation projects in the Northeast Barn, and increase yield through scientific and technological progress to achieve the least use. The land produces more food.
On the same day, the 2020 China Potato Conference was opened in Anding District, Dingxi City, Gansu Province. At the meeting, Chen Wenfu stated in his report “China’s Food Security Problems” that the average annual growth rate of cereal crops in China has increased from 3.4 kg per mu before the reform and opening to 6 , 6 kg per mu. However, in the last 20 years, the data returned to 3.4 kg.

Compared to the top three food crops, its yield per unit area has greater potential to increase,” said Jin Liping, Chairman of the Professional Potato Committee of the Chinese Crop Society, especially with the increase in population. Under the influence of factors such as the reduction of arable land, the lack of water resources and the decrease of the planting area of the three main food crops of rice, wheat and corn, the potato yield should be increased more efficiently in the use of water and a longer industrial chain.
Jin Liping told the meeting that in 2015, Chinese officials had put the potato staple on the agenda. The potato staple food will not only help to promote the structural adjustment of the planting industry, to achieve the sustainable development of agriculture and to ensure the food security of our country, but it will also help to improve and enrich the diet and the nutritional structure of the Chinese people.
Over the years, the country has attached great importance to the development of the potato industry, supported by seed industry innovation, guided by green development, and focused on the development of basic food products, strengthened the orientation planning, service orientation and consumer defense, formulated guidelines for potato production and development, and implemented them. Potato staple food products and industrial development, strengthen the construction of breeding bases and storage facilities for improved varieties, and strive to promote the transformation of small potatoes into a large industry.

It has developed and sold 6 series of more than 260 basic food products with local characteristics, which greatly enriched people’s table. Promote healthy nutrition and consumption. By continuously extending the industrial chain, updating the value chain and improving the supply chain, the value-added space of the potato industry has been continuously expanded.
Known as the “Chinese capital of the potato”, Dingxi, Gansu, has considered the potato as the “first calling card” for local development. Dingxi seizes the national potato industry major research, development and promotion center of technology, widens the brand effect of potato Dingxi, the “well-known brand of China”, the country’s ten most charming agricultural products, the first Chinese farmers harvest festival brand agricultural products and national geographical indication products. The fortress, based on agriculture, has formed a diversified development pattern from seedlings to tables, from fields to factories, and from laboratories to large markets. (Finish)
