Experts say developing genetically modified crops is a strategic choice for China to ensure food security

Lin Min, director of the Institute of Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said in Beijing on the 17th that as a large agricultural country with few people and a shortage of resources, China urgently needs to develop genetically modified technologies, enhance the competitiveness of agricultural science and technology, and ensure food security.

"The development of genetically modified technology is in line with the major needs of our country. China is a country with unfavorable natural conditions. Half of the country is in drought. This urgently requires us to develop genetic technology, cultivate new varieties, and ensure China's food security. (Currently,) China Initially built an independent genetically modified R&D system with the ability to participate in international competition, GM rice and corn are at the international advanced and internationally advanced level, and the conditions for industrialization are ripe.However, the gap between genetically modified soybeans, wheat, rapeseed and foreign countries is still very large, and the technology is urgently needed. Breakthrough."

Earlier this year, a program document for agricultural development announced by the Chinese government proposed to “improve the development of functional genes and new biological species with important applied value and independent intellectual property rights, and advance the new genetic variety industry on the basis of scientific assessment and legal management. "." Lin Min said that through the use of genetic engineering technology, new varieties of crops with high quality, high yield, and high resistance to diseases and insect pests can be cultivated; as a result of the reduction in the use of pesticides, pesticides pollute the environment and harm humans and animals.

Concerned about the current public concerns about the safety of genetically modified foods, Lin Min said at the academic report of the China Association for Science and Technology that there are no absolutely safe foods in the world. At present, the global scale of genetically modified crops has been used for more than 14 years. Hundreds of millions of people eat genetically modified foods each year. For example, 70% of the food in the U.S. market contains genetically modified (GM) ingredients, and most of China's consumption of soybean oil is genetically modified foods, but so far there has been no science. Empirical GM food and environmental safety issues. He suggested that the Chinese government should further accelerate the research and application of genetically modified technologies: "Technology should be innovative, and there must be a large investment at the national level, and there are major special projects for genetic modification (support). Second, strengthen biosafety assessment, especially to strengthen our country. The establishment of a technical system to test this piece of technology will ensure the healthy and rapid development of our genetically modified technology.”

According to Lin Min, last year, the total area of ​​global genetically modified crops was 134 million hectares. Three-quarters of soybeans planted, half of cotton, one-fourth of corn, and one-fifth of rape were genetically modified.
