It is reported by the agricultural information research institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, international food policy research institute (IFPRI) When the one that sponsor together " Agricultural risk and international scientific seminar of food security " Held in Beijing recently. This conference aims at the international exchange of research field of strengthening the safety of agricultural risk management and food, show the latest research results of this field domestic and foreignly, promote international cooperation and scientific and technical innovation of this research field.

National food and nutrition director of consultative committee Wan Baorui say in the speech, the agricultural risk is accompanied by the food security question all the time, and is presenting the new situation constantly, present the new trend. In recent years, some new important issues have appeared in our country's agriculture and food security field, stress that is shown as the following aspects.

First, the natural factor leads to the fact the food supplies the pressure to increase steadily. In recent years, vary with global climate, extreme weather take place unusually, of our country the intersection of agricultural weather and calamity, and plant diseases and insect pests present occur frequently, send, send again the situation frequently, the causing disaster rate is rising constantly, calamity losses increase year by year. 2007 because the meteorological calamity grain loses 53,950 million kilograms of Damien.

Second, the food quality safety risk is prominent. Through the efforts for many years, though the main food assortment qualification rate of our country is more than 95%, but there is certain disparity compared with resident's consumption demand, the proportion of the agricultural products in the specific area not up to standard even presents the phenomenon of rebounding more greatly. In addition, agricultural animal remedy, heavy metal and poisonous microorganism exceed standard, leads to the fact the food poisoning happens occasionally, also often because the quality problem initiates some trade disputes.

Third, food production, consumption, nutrition are incongruous and leads to the fact the market question is outstanding. For a long time, the food production, consumption, nutrition of our country are managed by different departments, the incongruous phenomenon among the three is more outstanding. Supply and demand of main food such as the grain, livestock produce, fruits and vegetables are uneven, uneven in the area the problem often happens, cause the market fluctuations to be frequent; The main food variety produces and can't totally meet many variety, individualized demand of the market, the shortage and surplus coexist; The food is produced and divorced from resident's nutrition demand, incongruous with resident's meal guide, the amount of production of main food and resident's volume of consumption are deviated from, has already caused the waste of a large number of agricultural resources, make nutrition chronic disease rise fast again.

HuQu Zhai, president of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, say how be effective the defence and evades the agricultural risk, ensure the agriculture and food security, it is not merely the focal point of administrative decision of government department, focus and difficult point studied by the agricultural science and technology at the same time. It is an important means to take precautions against agricultural risk to develop Hi-Tech agriculture effectively; Should strengthen the brainstorm of common technology and key technology, so as to the agriculture of adapting to new period and need that the food security development way changes. Especially the technological bottleneck to be strengthened effective supply of food is studied, risk assessment and early warning research,etc. of strengthening the safety of food quality, tops a batch of great science questions, innovation and a batch of key technology, promote the international competitiveness of independent innovation ability and agricultural product of the agricultural science and technology of our country by a wide margin.
