China's varied food supply Seeds, farms and policy

Date unknown

CCTV presents Xi Jinping's all-encompassing approach to food and China's diversification of food supply. It describes holiday harvests, Turpan salmon ponds and the 2015 Central Rural Work Conference's call for broader agriculture and food, followed by Xi's environmental and resource-capacity qualifications without dating that quoted explanation. It recalls the Twentieth Party Congress and says the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan establishes a national food-development programme. Zhao Changbao argues for broadening supply while protecting 1.8 billion mu of farmland. The report gives grain, vegetable, fruit, meat and aquatic-output totals and describes a germplasm survey as recently completed, adding 139,000 crop accessions, 1.07 million livestock and poultry genetic materials and 120,000 aquatic accessions; it connects these resources to named new crop varieties and Xin Xia's explanation of breeding possibilities. It covers controlled-environment farming, understory production and Lianjiang offshore aquaculture, with Guo Jiantao discussing typhoon resilience. Current output claims are distinguished from future facility upgrades and the target for controlled-environment vegetables to reach about 40 percent by 2030.

CCTV describes a completed national agricultural germplasm survey adding 139,000 crop accessions, 1.07 million livestock and poultry genetic materials and 120,000 aquatic accessions to national collections. It connects the resources with new corn, wheat and minor-grain varieties. Xin Xia explains that preserving more accessions expands future breeding and food choices. The completion date is unresolved; 'recently completed' is the broadcast's wording.
