Food production has always been the cornerstone of the development of human society. On the mainland, ensuring food security is a major matter that has a bearing on the national economy and the people's livelihood. In recent years, with the continuous development of science and technology, grain production has gradually changed from traditional manpower-intensive to intelligent and unmanned. In this process, a concept called "big food view" gradually took root in the hearts of the people. So, what exactly is this "big food view"? How does it affect the mainland's grain production? This article will combine unmanned rice harvesting, soybean yield increase and other examples to reveal the "big food concept" behind the harvest.
1. What is the "Big Food Concept"?
The "big food concept" is a concept that takes food as the core and pays comprehensive attention to food production, ecological and environmental protection, farmers' income increase, and scientific and technological innovation. It emphasizes that while ensuring food security, it should pay attention to the sustainable development of agriculture, improve the living standards of farmers, and promote agricultural science and technology innovation. To put it simply, the "big food concept" is to realize the comprehensive upgrading of agriculture on the basis of grain production.
2. Unmanned rice harvesting: subvert tradition and improve efficiency
In recent years, rice harvesting in mainland China has gradually changed from traditional manpower-intensive to unmanned and intelligent. Advances in technology have played a key role in this process. Nowadays, unmanned harvesters, drones and other intelligent equipment have become the main force in rice harvesting. Not only do they improve harvesting efficiency, but they also reduce labor intensity, bringing tangible benefits to farmers.
In Jiangsu Province, for example, local farmers can harvest large areas of rice in a short period of time using unmanned harvesters. This harvester can not only automatically navigate, automatic harvesting, but also automatic collection and automatic threshing. Compared with traditional manual harvesting, unmanned harvesters not only improve harvesting efficiency, but also reduce food loss. In addition, drones are also widely used in spraying pesticides and fertilizing in rice fields, which greatly reduces the labor intensity of farmers.
3. Soybean production increase code: science and technology help to improve production capacity
Soybean is one of the important food crops in the mainland, however, due to various reasons, the mainland's soybean production capacity has not been effectively improved. In recent years, under the guidance of the "big food concept", mainland researchers have found the code to increase soybean production through scientific and technological innovation.
First of all, through gene editing technology, mainland researchers have successfully developed disease-resistant, insect-resistant, and high-yield soybean varieties. These soybean varieties are more resistant to stress and can maintain good growth in harsh environments, resulting in higher yields.
Secondly, the innovation of soybean planting technology has also provided strong support for increasing production. Nowadays, soybean planting has changed from traditional bare planting to modern planting methods such as cover planting and dense planting. These planting methods can not only increase the yield of soybeans per unit area, but also reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases and improve the quality of soybeans.
Finally, innovations in soybean processing technology have also ensured increased yields. Nowadays, soybean deep processing technology has been widely used, and soybean oil, tofu, soybean milk and other soybean products have entered thousands of households, providing a broad market space for the development of soybean industry.
In short, under the guidance of the "big food concept", grain production on the mainland is undergoing earth-shaking changes. Examples such as unmanned rice harvesting and soybean yield increase are vivid portrayals of science and technology helping agricultural development. In the future, we believe that under the guidance of the "Big Food Concept", the mainland's agricultural development will make more remarkable achievements and make greater contributions to world food security.
