Grain is the life of all people and the treasure of the country. Food security is a fundamental issue related to human survival. Reducing food loss is an important way to ensure food security. The action plan for grain conservation issued by the office of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council clearly states that by 2025, the measures to reduce grain consumption and losses in all links of the whole grain industry chain will be more hardened, implemented and refined, and more obvious results will be achieved in promoting grain conservation and losses reduction. The system, standard system and monitoring system for grain conservation and losses will be basically established, the normal long-term governance mechanism will be basically sound, and the “CD-ROM action” will be carried out in depth, the problem of food waste will be effectively curbed, and grain conservation Opposing waste has become a common practice in the whole society. We have clear guidelines for action to improve food security, pay equal attention to increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, and increase production and reduce losses.

“A good year should be a bad year. When there is grain, we often want to have no grain.”. Since the founding of new China, under the strong leadership of the party, the comprehensive grain production capacity has been continuously enhanced. The national grain has exceeded 1.3 trillion kilograms for seven consecutive years, ushering in the “18 consecutive harvests”. The people’s life has changed from shortage to prosperity and from poverty to well-off, realizing the historic transformation from “not enough to eat” to “enough to eat” and then to “good to eat”. However, the basic national conditions and agricultural conditions of China with more people and less land, coupled with the global epidemic and the increased uncertainty of the international food market, determine that China’s food security may be in a tight balance for a long time, and the potential risks and hidden dangers affecting food security are increasing. Reducing postpartum grain losses is equivalent to increasing grain production. In fact, grain saving and loss reduction is a more effective measure than increasing grain production. Compared with increasing production, saving grain is equivalent to developing “invisible good farmland” and realizing “land-free production increase”, which not only saves cultivated land and water resources, but also has relatively small investment and protects the ecological environment, but also has obvious economic, social and ecological benefits.

Yuan Longping once said, “a grain of grain can save a country or trip a country”. This man is gone, and good words should be remembered. To save food and take action, everyone needs to establish a diligent and thrifty lifestyle, start with cherishing a grain of rice, a drop of water, a kilowatt hour of electricity, a piece of paper and other small things, put an end to all acts of luxury and waste, and form the concept of economical and intensive, green, low-carbon, scientific and healthy consumption. The majority of Party members and cadres should play a vanguard and exemplary role, take the lead in strengthening the concept of thrift, strictly abide by various disciplinary requirements, regard hard work as a belief, diligence and thrift as a habit, and say “no” to catering waste with practical actions. Grain storage enterprises and circulation enterprises should carry forward the fine tradition of “it is better to shed a thousand drops of sweat than spoil a grain”, constantly improve the ability and level of scientific grain storage, grain saving and loss reduction, and strive to return the grains to the warehouse. At the same time, discipline inspection and supervision organs should further fulfill their supervision responsibilities, vigorously rectify the trend of waste, take saving food and stopping catering waste as an important aspect of implementing the spirit of the eight point provisions of the central government and correcting the “four ethos”, resolutely curb catering waste and effectively curb various violations of discipline and law in public fund consumption through innovative means such as “regular exposure”, “online reporting” and “big data supervision”, Let food really be used for consumption rather than waste.
