Food is the most important thing for the people. Bags of rice, baskets of vegetables, seemingly ordinary, but carrying the most basic concerns of thousands of households. This year is the final year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and food security is facing multiple challenges such as extreme weather events, low grain prices, differentiated consumer demand, and the expectation for improved food safety. How to achieve the development goals of stable production, optimal prices, smooth circulation, and good quality, and build a more robust food security guarantee system, is a heavy burden that we must fulfill for the people's livelihood. This answer sheet for the people's livelihood is ongoing, it is not completed. We must have a sense of responsibility that we cannot let go of at any time, and a spirit of dedication that we must hold on to everything tightly, and answer with heart, emotion, and effort. Only in this way can we hold China's rice bowl more securely and stably, not only filling it with more Chinese grain, but also filling it with the people's sense of achievement, happiness, and security.
