On the occasion of the 45th World Food Day, China Central Television’s website released a micro-video titled “National Food Strategy.” From breakthroughs in seed breeding to smart farming, and from green grain storage to efficient services, the video focuses on food security as a “national priority,” showcasing how various industries are securing China’s food supply through comprehensive innovation across the entire chain.
World Food Day
World Food Day is an international observance held annually on October 16th to commemorate the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 1945. It aims to raise global awareness and action for those who suffer from hunger and to ensure food security and nutritious diets for all. Each year, the day promotes a specific theme to highlight areas needing urgent attention, such as sustainable agriculture or the impact of climate change on food production.
China Central Television
China Central Television (CCTV) is the predominant state-owned television broadcaster in China, founded in 1958 as Beijing Television before adopting its current name in 1978. It operates as the primary mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, producing news, entertainment, and educational programming that reflects government perspectives and policies.
National Food Strategy
The National Food Strategy is not a physical place but a UK government-commissioned independent review of the entire food system. It was led by Henry Dimbleby, with the first part published in 2020 and the final report in 2021. The strategy’s purpose was to provide a comprehensive plan to address issues like diet-related health problems, environmental sustainability, and food security.
