CGTN published this video item, entitled “Live: Decoding China’s food self-sufficiency miracle” – below is their description.
As the world’s most populous nation, China has the most mouths to feed. In 2022, its population reached 1.41 billion – roughly a sixth of the world’s 7.9 billion people. Yuan Longping, known as the “father of hybrid rice,” once told CGTN, “A tiny grain could either save a country or bring it down. The importance of food security should never be underestimated.” How did China manage to feed 20 percent of the world’s population with only 9 percent of the world’s arable land? Why does China need food security? CGTN reporters Sun Tianyuan and Huang Yue stream live from Tailai Farm – one of the country’s oldest farms in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, a region known as the country’s granary. #DynamicsofChina #foodsecurity #BumperHarvest
