China’s intensifying focus on food security | FT Food Revolution

I don't get the doom and gloom vibe of the video. Sounds like there isnt a problem yet, China has anticipated that there could be one oneday and so well in advance of that potential problem becoming a real one China has been putting a lot of policy and investment effort into preventing that outcome in a way that looks likely to be highly sucessful. So whats the issue?

Also the video presents the growing per capita food consumption in China as part of the problem of food security. But why would that be? Food security isnt about producing as much food as your fatest citizens enjoy eating. Its about producing enough food to stop your population from starving or becoming malnourished during a crisis. So if there was such a crisis, how excessivly your population eats during a non crisis period isnt relevent.

With such a hazardous strategic deficiency you would think China would have been a little less belligerent under Jin Ping!

I suggest you to list Chinese production of pork, vegetable, fruit, fish, and crops, then compare it with other countries.

China enforce foods security because they got so many foods that their citizen wasted it like it qas nothing (even a trends to waste food on Live) so the government have to remind everyone

They can get from Russia don't worry.

Compare to india china has far better food security

Driven by scientists say.... as if its not trie

Oh look, another metric to measure China’s collapse by.

Don’t touch her!

Does the UK produce enough food for its own residents( most don't belueve citizenship means anything anymore) Despite the smaller population can it feed itself?

I love how FT is deliberately trying to paint a darker picture about a topic which is a worldwide issue. Love the light filters to add a sense of gloom and doom. We can't forget the voice actor's outstanding performance at conveying the feeling of hopelessness in a sad monotone.

Food security is a must for China. Can't say the same for the US/UK.

If it is that important to China....thier government must offer the "contract growing" system for rice, fruit and veggies. These Chinese Agriculturists must be paid upon delivery and availability of these foods. Plus Chinese government must distribute the foods to public markets or supermarkets and groceries all over China. I think they should use the Blockchain for this....

That's a very long, expensive, complex, and highly vulnerable supply system for a necessity.

What food China does grow is highly dependent on industrial fertilizers that needs to be imported, a double whammy. If China wete to ever lose its maritime trade routes, it gets cut off from some food, loses the fertilizers to maintain the crop yields it already has, and the fuel need to process or transport those crops to the cities.

The growth of the cuinese economy in the last decade or two is superficial and artificial. China is a country overgrown, overpopulated, not capable of self sufficiency. When chinese delegates visit other countries with an air of power and arrogance, behind those faces is a plead for good luck and the "encounrer" of another "believer" in its "power" that can supply it with food and many other raw materials of which China is highly dependent.
China, as it is, in the oath it has chosen, it has short span.

Terminate contract with your newton leng, you are getting alot of negative publicity, but you know that already lol.
@FinancialTimes = Would not recommend

sack newton leng

How’s newton doing?

Newton Leng: Don't touch her! Stop touching her! You're not the same age!
🤣
Is he your employee? Doesn't seem to have much logic

That's not food dependency rather protein dependency. More than half of the crop are used as animal feed instead of direct consumption. China also develop coal to protein process to solce the animal feed problem. It really isnt a big deal.

Will you make a video regarding your consultant Newton Leng when he harassed British pianist Brendan Kavanagh?

Or is CCP money preventing you from showing that?

Now that we know the now-infamous mainlander secret police/ intimidation agent that blew his cover at St Pancras works for you guys (or claims to), what is your official statement on his behavior??

Please tell us where FT stands, so we can better decide where to get reliable news .

Food is more important than water, sustainable agriculture and with water reservoirs

step up or just keep printing papers, you are too monochrome to go woke


Lei's real talk or China Insights cover this subject.

They can eat tofu dreg real estate buildings, streets upon streets formally farmlands

Wow, F.T. have outdid itself again in term of propaganda quality and advancement: using dirty-looking, 1950 poster-like images and outdated Chinese reference fashion/culture.
Most USA company's name does not really match the institute's mission --> misleading

China (or any other country) doesn't have to be self sufficient in food, as long as they have good friends and allies to buy food from. So ensuring food security can be achieved by relying completely on yourself, or by establishing good, friendly relationships with other countries that can help you stay food secure.

Food is more important than gold

So when China invades Taiwan, just don't ship food to them.
Problem solved

Sustainable Agriculture with Water Reservoirs.

Many GM plants are only change to promote more herbicides. Works well for the chemical industry.

All countries have to focus on food security. In Australia it is bio security that could affect our agriculture. But we are only 25miilion. With 56 times more people than Australia feeding that many on only 10% of the available agricultural land is a feat in itself. The fact that food seems to be in abundance in both Australia and China is a testament to the hard work of farmers. Admittedly more recently in Australia, poverty and food insecurity is becoming an issue as interest rates and economic conditions worsen. Poverty and food insecurity in China was solved as a problem 2 years ago with the last of 850 million poor people finally able to break free from poverty that had affected them.

India don't have to work hard to feed people. That's why India is more capable to become the next superpower.

80% of their groundwater isn't potable because they pumped industrial effluents into their aquifers. We wish them well.
