    The three major challenges of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, international conflicts and wars and climate change have made the global food system face unprecedented pressure


    Cheng Guangyan introduced that the "2022 China Food and Nutrition Development Report" released by the forum is based on long-term large-scale field research data on the loss of the whole industry chain, combined with the existing food waste research in China, from the two dimensions of quantity and nutrition, the loss and waste of each category and each link are quantitatively evaluated, and the loss and loss space can be analyzed and the loss reduction countermeasures


    63% of the loss occurred in the front section of the industrial chain, and the loss rate of vegetables, fruits and aquatic products ranked in the top three


    Catering consumption is seriously wasted, and the amount of grain and vegetable waste is large


    The food loss and waste of the whole industry chain is more than 1/5, and about half of the loss space


    China is a large agricultural and populous country, limited water and soil resources, food production is becoming more and more difficult, reducing food loss and waste is particularly important


    The first is to increase investment and strengthen the infrastructure and scientific and technological support


    The second is to shorten the mileage of food and reduce the circulation loss


    The third is to use multiple measures at the same time and vigorously oppose food waste


    The fourth is to strengthen the monitoring of food loss and waste in the whole production chain, and establish a normalized evaluation mechanism
