Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, October 31. Recently, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council issued the “Food Conservation Action Plan” and issued a notice requesting all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of actual conditions.
In recent years, various regions and departments have conscientiously implemented the relevant decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and have continuously increased their efforts to strictly save and oppose food waste, and have achieved positive results. However, the problem of waste still cannot be ignored and strengthened the task of saving and reducing losses in all links of the food industry chain. Heavy. In order to implement the deployment requirements of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on “carrying out food conservation actions” and to promote the implementation of the “People’s Republic of China Anti-Food Waste Law”, this plan is formulated.
Adhere to systematic governance, legal governance, and long-term governance, adhere to party committee leadership, government leadership, industry guidance, and public participation, highlight key areas and key links, strengthen rigid system constraints, and promote savings and losses in all links of the food industry chain to achieve practical results, in order to speed up Build a higher-level, higher-quality, more efficient, and more sustainable national food security system to lay a solid foundation.
By 2025, the grain reduction and loss reduction measures in all links of the grain industry chain will be more hardened and refined, and more obvious results will be achieved in promoting the reduction and loss reduction. The system, the standard system and the monitoring system for the reduction and loss reduction will be basically established, and the normal and long-term governance mechanism will be basically established.
