Cheng Guangyan: animal protein supply guarantee scheme under the concept of "big food concept"

Expert in this issue: Cheng Guangyan, researcher at the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs

A few days ago, the Institute of Food and Nutrition Development of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs organized an academic seminar on "Big Food View"

Cheng Guangyan believes that animal protein contains a complete range of essential amino acids, and the amino acid pattern is close to that of the human body.

In 2021, China's per capita consumption of meat, milk, eggs, and aquatic products will be 69.

From the analysis of international animal protein consumption law, according to FAO data, from a global perspective, the higher the economic level of the country, the higher the per capita animal protein demand

Based on international laws, historical evolution, animal product consumption characteristics of different groups, combined with income, population, urbanization, aging and other factors, it is estimated that China's per capita consumption of meat, milk, eggs, and aquatic products will increase to 76% in 2035.

Based on the forecast of the recommended amount of the "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", with the improvement of Chinese residents' nutritional scientific literacy and health awareness, food consumption will accelerate the transformation from the current "eat enough to eat well" to nutritionally balanced

Combining the above three forecasts, China's per capita animal protein demand in 2035 will be between 43.

my country is both a country with a large population and a large agricultural country.

1.

　　First, based on the nutritional and health needs of residents, taking into account the consumption habits of Chinese people, and actively promoting the optimization of animal product structure

　　It is recommended to stabilize the current consumption level of meat and eggs.

　　The second is to reduce food loss and waste as an important way to ensure the supply of animal protein

　　2.

　　One is to improve the efficiency of feed utilization in aquaculture through precise nutrition

　　The second is to fully tap the available non-grain feed resources.

　　The third is to advocate appropriate scale and combination of planting and breeding, expand forage production, optimize grain and feed structure, carry out "zero carbon" pasture certification, and guide the aquaculture industry to transform to a sustainable low-carbon

　　Third, the technology side: grab the high point and promote the transformation

　　On the premise of ensuring the production capacity of traditional protein, it is an important aspect to implement the "big food concept" to accelerate the use of biosynthesis technology to carry out research and development of edible protein and feed alternative products, and to broaden the boundaries of the protein industry
.

　　The first is to replace global hot products with animal proteins such as biologically cultivated meat, microbial protein meat, and insect protein meat.
It is necessary to intensify scientific and technological innovation, seize the commanding heights of international research, and achieve the lead from following and running to prevent the formation of technological monopoly in developed countries
.

　　The second is to accelerate the promotion and application of new feed industrialization
.
Accelerate the industrial application of new feed products such as carbon monoxide synthetic protein, carbon dioxide synthetic starch, and microbial protein, exempt new feed products from value-added tax, guide and encourage feed enterprises to innovate and create, and expand feed sources
