Abstract
China’s food security has been a hot issue of social concern. Based on existing studies, this paper chose 12 factors to establish comprehensive evaluation system of good security, including the arable land area per capital, the fluctuation rate of grain yield, the grain price rising rate, the degree of agricultural mechanization, etc. Comprehensive evaluation of China’s food security over the years by factor analysis shows that China’s food security is in a tense balance state, the sources of which are the supportability factor slowdown and the score of stability factor decrease. Base on the analysis, we proposed to strengthen financial support to agriculture, improve the land protection mechanism, and improve the utilization rate of grain and other countermeasures to ensure China’s food security in the future.
Highlights
Food security is related to national social stability and economic development; it’s the foundation of national security
Ma et al (2005) [2] thought that no food security problem existed in China, but grain shortage would appear in a long-term development view
The results showed that subject to a decline in the quantity and quality of cultivated land, water resources shortage and other factors, China’s food security situation was hard in the future
Summary
Food security is related to national social stability and economic development; it’s the foundation of national security. Ma et al (2005) [2] thought that no food security problem existed in China, but grain shortage would appear in a long-term development view. As long as the market mechanism was brought into full play, there would be no food security problem He et al (2004) [8] and others have made empirical analysis on China’s macroscopic food security from the points of view of grain production, grain supply and international comparison. In response to the different views above, this paper proposes and explores the following questions: how are China’s food security situation and the development trend, what’s the major factor influencing China’s food security, and how to ensure the food security in the future
