Promote the development of the miscellaneous grain industry and create a third ration

Reporter Zhou Yan

Wheat and rice have always been the two most important ration varieties in China, and after decades of unremitting efforts, at present, the supply of the two major ration varieties in China is sufficient, which has laid a solid foundation for ensuring the "absolute safety of rations" and also provided sufficient room

The "2022 China Food and Nutrition Development Report" released by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences on September 17 put forward the strategic proposal of "building a third ration", which aims to improve the quality and efficiency of the grain industry by increasing the development of whole grain foods, optimizing the regional layout of grains, guiding the increase of whole grains and grains consumption, creating a third ration, enhancing the diversity of staple foods, and ensuring national food security

Inadequate intake of whole grains and whole grains poses a huge health risk

The slow development of miscellaneous grains and whole grains and the insufficient consumption of residents have become important factors

According to a large-scale study in the field of global diet published by the medical journal "The Lancet" in 2019 - the mortality rate and disease burden caused by the diet structure of 195 countries and regions, more than 20% of Chinese died of "eating the wrong meal", and China's cardiovascular disease mortality rate and cancer mortality rate caused by dietary structure problems are the

There is a big gap between

According to a field survey conducted by the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 5 provinces across the country, the number of residents with coarse grains per meal accounts for less than 20%.

It is imperative to guide increased consumption of whole grains and whole grains

Vigorously promoting the consumption of miscellaneous grains and whole grains and improving the level of diversification of staple foods is an effective way to

Coarse grains are the best choice

Huang Jiazhang said that it is urgent and imperative to guide the increase in the consumption of grains and whole grains

Optimize the production of miscellaneous grains to promote the creation of a third ration

In view of the promotion measures and paths for creating a third ration, Huang Jiazhang proposed the following three specific directions:

Optimize the regional layout of miscellaneous grains, build an industrial chain that meets the new needs of residents' nutrition and health, and promote industrial quality and efficiency

Increase the breeding of new varieties of miscellaneous grains and technological innovation in high-quality, high-yield and high-efficiency production, and improve the supply level of

As soon as possible, we will break through the key technologies of production, processing and modulation of grains and whole grains to improve flavor and taste and digestion and absorption
