China Association for Science and Technology held the "Seminar on Independent Knowledge System of Food Science"

In order to conscientiously implement the spirit of important instructions such as "building China's independent knowledge system" and "establishing a big food concept" put forward by General Secretary Xi Jinping, and explore the construction of the knowledge system of food science, the "Seminar on Independent Knowledge System of Food Science" sponsored by the China Association for Science and Technology and undertaken by the College of Agriculture and Rural Development of Chinese Minmin University was held
in Beijing on November 2.

Leaders of relevant government departments, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, experts and scholars from Peking University, Chinese Minmin University, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other research institutions contributed to the importance of building an independent knowledge system of gastronomy, theoretical basis and practical value, and explored ways
to solve the food problem that restricts the sustainable development of human beings.
The seminar was chaired
by Qiu Huanguang, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chinese Minmin University.

Xu Yanhao, deputy secretary of the Party Group of the China Association for Science and Technology, said in his speech that at a time when the whole party and the whole country are seriously studying, publicizing, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, we have conducted discussions on the development of the discipline of gastronomy, aiming to promote the construction of an independent knowledge system
in the field of gastronomy.
Liu Guangwei, director of the Food Administration Research Center of Minmin University of Chinese, proposed to build an independent food science knowledge system and understand the discipline system of food problems, which is a groundbreaking, autonomous and far-reaching exploration
.
Food science takes human food as the research object, including agronomy, food science, nutrition and other disciplines, is a systematic and complex disciplinary system
.
Xu Yanhao said that the China Science and Technology Cooperation is the largest science and technology community in China, and its science societies, engineering science societies and many other societies and academic organizations are closely linked with food science, and the China Association for Science and Technology will work together with Chinese University and experts to explore and contribute to the construction of China's independent food science system
.
First, it is necessary to thoroughly study, propagate, and implement the spirit of the 20 th CPC National Congress, and educate people and talents
around the "great power of the country.
" The second is to focus on the innovation trend in the field of food science and actively participate in the construction of
a healthy China.
The third is to promote the development
of the national food science and cultural system with strong cultural self-confidence and historical initiative.

Liu Guangwei, founder of the independent knowledge system of food science and director of the Food Administration Research Center of Minmin University of Chinese, delivered a keynote speech
entitled "Revealing the Objective Law of Food Affairs and Constructing the Independent Knowledge System of Food Science".
Liu Guangwei said that all the "food problems" of mankind are the main contradictions of human survival, development and continuation, and have not been reduced
by the progress of civilization.
On the contrary, it is more difficult and complex than ever, and the existing scientific knowledge body can no longer fully solve
it.

To this end, Liu Guangwei jumped out of the limitations of the discipline and constructed the knowledge system of gastroenterology 3-13-36, and proposed three major tasks of gastronomy, one is the individual aspect, prolonging the healthy life of
everyone.
The second is to create social harmony and build a social order
that cares for the rights of every eater.
Third, in terms of population, human beings and nature coexist in a friendly way and achieve sustainable development
.

In order to comprehensively solve China's food problem, Liu Guangwei suggested broadening the scope of food administration, unifying food laws, optimizing food economic mechanisms, and establishing a county-level demonstration area
of "whole food administration and rural revitalization".
Liu Guangwei emphasized that food science is a completely independent knowledge system and does not rely on a third party
.
The construction of gastronomy is based on problems, not from topics, and aims to solve problems
comprehensively.
The essence of constructing a food science system is to replace part of the cognition with the whole cognition
.
China takes the lead in solving the food problem and becoming a "world model for overall management of food problems", which will promote and drive the realization of China's strategic goals such as rural revitalization, healthy China and common prosperity, and at the same time will provide global public goods
for the overall solution of the world's food problems.

Yin Chengjie, a special researcher of the Counsellor's Office of the State Council and former executive vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, said that the China Association for Science and Technology and Renmin University conscientiously implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping's important knowledge on promoting innovation in science and technology education and building an independent knowledge system, kept innovation and dared to explore, and made another step
forward in building an independent knowledge system of food science.
Food science is a comprehensive discipline
that studies national affairs.
The establishment of the discipline of gastronomy highlights the innovative awareness and important progress
of the academic community in building the independent knowledge system of gastronomy.
Building an independent knowledge system of food science is the need to further study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, maintain national food security and food safety, implement the "Healthy China" strategy to improve the physical and mental health of the people, and improve the quality of human resources, which is conducive to improving the quality and safety of food and agricultural products and accelerating the green transformation
of development mode.
It will bring profound changes
to the utilization of food resources, the production and supply of food, and people's lifestyles.
It is suggested that on the existing basis, we should further study the relationship between national conditions, agricultural conditions, grain conditions and food conditions, combine the major topics of the development and change of food affairs in China, the current situation and development trend of food affairs, highlight the key points and accurately position them in the construction of the independent knowledge system of food science, and further clarify the research objects and directions
.

Yin Weilun, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and former president of Beijing Forestry University, suggested that food education be included in general education, starting
with dolls.
At the same time, find an entry point to seamlessly connect food science with existing disciplines, and facilitate interdisciplinary and blending
.
It is believed that the independent knowledge system of food science will make positive contributions
to the implementation of the "Healthy China" strategy, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the comprehensive solution of the world's food problems.

Zhu Xinkai, vice president of Chinese Min's University, said that food science spans almost all disciplines in natural sciences and humanities and social sciences, and is actually an encyclopedia
.
As a large agricultural country in China, food education should be included in general education in the link of basic education, so that children can eat from primary school and eat healthy
.

Researcher Zhu Shuifang, chief scientist of the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine, believes that Liu Guangwei's in-depth research on the philosophical level of food science is a comprehensive, combination of theory and technology, multidisciplinary interdisciplinary ancient and cutting-edge science, which should be highly valued
at the national level 。 It is recommended that gastronomy be prioritized and developed as a key interdisciplinary discipline in agriculture and biomedicine.
At the national level, the functional food industry is planned and laid out as the core basic work of healthy China, rural revitalization strategy, agricultural industry upgrading and high-quality development; In view of the high incidence of foodborne related diseases in China, increase the research
and development of food science prevention and diet therapy and related industries.

Qiu Huanguang, dean of the College of Agriculture and Rural Development of Chinese Minmin University, said that in order to fully implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's "April 25" important speech and accelerate the pace of building China's independent knowledge system, Chinese Minmin University issued the "Proposal for Building China's Independent Knowledge System"
in October this year.
In this context, food science will become one of
the first projects to build an independent knowledge system that the NPC will focus on cultivating and supporting.

Hu Zhenmin, executive deputy director of the China Committee for Caring for the Next Generation, former deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and former secretary of the party leading group of the China Federation of Literature and Literature, pointed out that on April 25 this year, General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech during his inspection tour of Chinese Min's University, proposing that philosophy and social sciences should take care of China and the times, solve Chinese problems in response to China's actual conditions, and build an independent knowledge system
with Chinese characteristics.
Building an independent knowledge system of food science is an urgent need to build a modern socialist power with Chinese characteristics, and is a historical topic
of epoch-making significance.

Sun Guangyuan, former director and senior editor of the internal staff department of "Qiushi" magazine, said that at present, food-related disciplines such as agriculture, forestry and nutrition have long been established in the world, but the "food science system" has not yet been established
at the national level.
China is not only a country with a large population and agriculture, but also a major country
in food processing and food consumption.
Therefore, it is very necessary to take the lead in establishing a "food science science system" in the world to provide scientific academic support
for food administration management and the establishment of a new food culture.

You Suning, former president and editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Chinese Medical Association, expounded
on three aspects: the understanding of gastronomy, the importance of the construction of independent knowledge system of gastronomy, and the thinking brought about by changes in the international situation.
He believes that the food problem is the primary issue that threatens the sustainable development of mankind, and the food problem is an objective whole, and the divide and conquer is twice the result with half the effort, and the combined rule is twice
the result with half the effort.
Food science is closely related to the sustainable development of human beings, especially the health of each individual
.
The establishment of this innovative independent knowledge system of gastronomy is a typical representative of the improvement of
China's disciplinary innovation ability.
An innovative "Chinese plan"
was put forward to build a community with a shared future for mankind and comprehensively solve the problem of human food.
The international situation is particularly complicated
in the face of the international situation of "unprecedented changes in a century" and the growing expectation of "people's yearning for a better life".
It is more necessary and urgent
to build a knowledge system that comprehensively understands food problems and a new order that cares for global food affairs.

Participants unanimously said that the independent knowledge system of food science will provide new solutions for China to achieve "Chinese-style modernization", and at the same time provide global public goods
for the solution of human food problems.
