The upcoming 42nd World Food Day – this Sunday, October 16 – calls for attention to food security and the development of agricultural production. This year, food security has become a more urgent matter due to geopolitical conflicts, extreme weather, COVID-19 and economic recession. Despite having only 9% of the world's arable land, China is able to guarantee the food security of one-fifth of the world's population. This is a remarkable contribution and a model for ensuring global food security. In this episode of BizBeat, CGTN's Wang Tianyu explains China's efforts in ensuring food security.
