World Food Day, celebrated on October 16, underscores the vital importance of global food security. This year, the spotlight is on the Chinese mainland, which plays a crucial role by feeding nearly 18 percent of the world's population.
Remarkably, the Chinese mainland achieves this feat by producing a quarter of the total global food supply while utilizing less than 9 percent of the planet's arable land. This efficiency showcases the mainland's advancements in agricultural technology and sustainable farming practices.
As the global population continues to grow, the Chinese mainland's contribution to food security becomes increasingly significant, ensuring that more people have access to the nourishment they need.
