I think China's food security situation will improve over time. Aside from the measures listed in the video, incl. increased use of GMO crops and improved farming practices, there are other noteworthy aspects: -As China's population decreases, land appropriation will also decrease and there will be more food per person, increasing by around 8% in 2040 and 17% in 2050 (all else being equal). -China has reclaimed, and continues to reclaim land along its coastline, especially in Jiangsu. Shanghai alone has reclaimed over 400 Sq. km. (600,000 mou) in the last 30 years. A lot of this has been turned into very productive farmland. -On the downside, marginal lands will likely become depopulated over time due to low productivity. Those areas only produce enough to feed the local population, and neither add nor detract from the total calculation.

Even for some countries with high GDP per capita, like Mexico whose agriculture have been completely destroyed by cheap product imported from US, the failure of protecting the farmers lead to severe social problems, one of which is drug cartel.
If your country has lost hundreds of millions of people due to famine in the past 5000 years, you will also prioritize food security. Food is the life of every Chinese, and even if we land on Mars, the first thing Chinese people consider is farming.

But China is basically a joke compared to both India and USA because of their arable land lesser than Russia and Brazil.

@@yellowbhee9797 look at the topographical map of China, most of the Chinese are in the green topography, green means where industry and residents are located, green is also where rice farming land is located.

All Chinese statistics are doubtful. What is a fact, is that grain and fertilizer exports from Russia ans the Ukraine will be much reduced and there will be shortages.

China should strengthen rice exporting countries for food safety.Indonesia india.Cambodia Thai.srilanka .pak.bangl Burma.Vietnam.china .rice production countries
lol, you know nothing about China, most people except those from southern provinces eat noodles or bun which are made from flour, that is why most of the wheat harvested in Australia is shipped to China.
isnt rice flour a thing
Great Job..
The world's Biggest population is not China. India has the biggest population in the world.
Their soils are depleted.
Why is it that so few nations produce fertilizer? If Russian and China can manufacture it, surely other nations should be able to do so. I know it takes time for industries to get going, but why would the world lets so few countries control their nutriitional future?
All Chinese statistics are doubtful. What is a fact, is that grain and fertilizer exports from Russia ans the Ukraine will be much reduced and there will be shortages.
constantin barbu , a lingivstic historian that helped many countries to complete or give answers to their puzzles regarding their old manuscripts showed the whole world that romania is the only country that has manuscripts older than 2500 years.
He showed on your language ,history and lingvistic history that romania is the oldest country. Now ,before orthodox christianity romania was pagan. One of the apostoles of Iisus Hristos ,named Andrei came 2023 years ago in romania and since then ,romania became orthodox.
church of west ,catholics and Church of east ,orthodoxy ,were toghether for 1000 years but ,the church of west went in herezi and they put head of the church as pope. Orthodoxy did not accept that beacause head of church is Iisus Hristos.
In 2016 they made ecumenical sinod for all other denominations(sects)along with catholics to unite with orthodoxy and have head the pope.
Today orthodoxy is split in two :
one is ecumenistic
One the real and only true faith ,wich is for 2023 years ,wich still has Iisus Hristos as its head..ld.
Because if food security isn't secure, then people think about things like protesting. Let the Romans have their bread. ;)
China needs to be more like America. We have impoverished people here but you don’t see us worrying about food shortages and safety because we don’t care about them. That’s the problem with socialism, you force yourself to have to care for others because it’s indoctrinated. Here in America, we talk about helping others in need but it’s not part of our doctrines whatsoever. That way no one can be held accountable. Work smarter, not harder!
US needs to be more like China. We have imporverished people here but you don't see us worrying about electricity shortage and other infrastructure problems because we don't care about them. Thats the problem with capitalism, you force yourself to have to care for others because its indoctrinated. Here in China, we talk about helping others in need but it's not part of our doctrines whatsoever. That way no one can be held accountable. Work smarter, not harder!
Love you 😘❤️🔥💎🦁🤟
interestingly, back in 2020, the former prime minister declared that 600 million person in China had an income 150 usd per month, which I believe were farmers.
China is the world largest producer of food, but also the most food imported.
China's consumption is the highest in the world.
What about gutter oil/spit oil that Chinese eatries use for cooking? It's highly health hazardrous.
War.
I can see the struggle of the CPC to feed its 1.4 billion population . But still they can mean while in democracies only the rich get food rest all poors die from hunger. Well done china that's why china is my most favourite country
Lol, do you think only China cares about its poor.
@@wynn3077 yeah in India poor families are suffering from hunger and i live in India . The news media of India is fully purchased by usa and bjp no free media here to show actuall condition
sure do import alot
Considering what their past president did with pest controlling species. Of course they'd be concerned.
When you face a problem in the area of food security, water management or urban planning who do you call? Call in the Dutch!
