China will strengthen efforts to reduce the amount of grain lost at harvest and food wasted in kitchens across the country, the government said, as part of a broad action plan to further boost food security
China launched a major campaign against food wastage last year, spearheaded by President Xi Jinping amid growing worries about food security during the COVID-19 pandemic.
It called for higher seed standards to promote multi-resistance crop varieties, new technology for precision planting of wheat and intelligent and efficient harvesters. The transport and processing sectors have also been included in the plan, while the animal feed sector is encouraged to use more corn and soymeal substitutes and reduce protein levels, in line with an initiative released this year.The catering sector as well as schools and government departments should continue to manage food portions and avoid wasteful behaviour, the government added.
