Current national conditions

However, the facts are before our eyes: my country's population has exceeded 1.3 billion, and the annual net growth is 12 million people; the per capita cultivated land area is 1.2 acres, which is 1/1 of the world average. 4; Currently, the area of ??cultivated land is decreasing at a rate of more than 300,000 acres per year; 40% of the country's urban population relies on imported food. Between 1981 and 1995, the country's total cultivated land decreased by 81 million acres, resulting in a reduction of 50 billion kilograms of grain. And the rate of reduction is still accelerating. Various phenomena such as indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land, dredging of sand, deterioration of land quality, and desertification are encroaching on cultivated land.

Traditional virtues

Cherishing food is a virtue of the Chinese nation

Cherishing food is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "every grain of grain is worked hard" Poetry, but now many of our classmates do not cherish the hard-won food, and waste can be seen everywhere. On World Food Day, we should use our own cameras to record the phenomenon of food waste in public canteens, and make it into a display board, so that each of us can pay attention to this issue that has been ignored by us, and wake up our efforts to save food. The consciousness of loving food. In order to cooperate with the publicity, the staff of the Food Industry also brought carefully prepared posters, exhibition boards, signature boards, speeches, etc. The content includes data on food supply and trade flows in the world today, our country's food shortage, and our country's understanding of food and agriculture since ancient times, etc. In front of the signature board that cherished food, many students also signed their names and made a commitment to save food. Their tireless efforts are just to make us cherish every grain of life energy around us that has been cultivated with sweat and hard work.

The current status of the food crisis

According to the latest FAO estimates, the number of hungry people in the world continues to decrease: between 2012 and 2014, an estimated 805 million people were chronically undernourished, an increase from 2012 to 2014. The annual decrease was more than 100 million, a decrease of 209 million compared with 1990-1992. Over the same period, the prevalence of undernourishment fell from 18.7% to 11.3% globally and from 23.4% to 13.5% in developing countries.

Since 1990-1992, 63 countries have achieved the Millennium Development Goals and 125 countries have achieved the more demanding World Food Summit goals. In 11 of these 63 developing countries, the PoU in 1990-92 had been below 5% (a number that, due to methodological limitations, ensured that the results were significantly different from zero) and has remained there ever since. Within a range, it is no longer the primary focus of the 2014 report.

These figures show that the hunger-related goal of the Millennium Development Goals is within reach, that is, halving the proportion of undernourished people in developing countries by 2015.

Despite overall progress, significant disparities remain between regions. Latin America and the Caribbean have made the most progress in improving food security, while sub-Saharan Africa and Western Asia have made less progress due to the impact of natural disasters and conflicts.
