Chen Junshi, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and general counsel of the National Food Safety Assessment Center, said in a speech, with the acceleration of globalization process, the food supply chain is becoming more and more complex, how to ensure the "seamless docking" of the whole chain of food, first of all, we should think about what other scientific issues need to be solved, and future innovation should aim at scientific issues. This year's outbreak of new crown pneumonia, prompting people's lifestyle changes, online shopping, takeaway volume increased significantly, will continue to grow for some time to come. How to ensure the safety of online food, takeaway, and realize the whole process of management, all need innovation, need to solve scientific problems. How to better prevent cross-contamination of new crown virus in food, there are still many difficult problems to be solved. In the future, joint efforts will be needed to better apply all-gene sequencing technology, blockchain technology and IoT technology.
food safety is a common global challenge. To solve food safety problems, we also need multi-party collaborative innovation. Sun Baoguo, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, vice president of the China Food Science and Technology Association and president of Beijing University of Industry and Commerce, delivered a video message. Sun Baoguo said the changing social and economic environment is creating new influences on the main drivers of food safety. The continuous growth of the global population, the acceleration of the pace of urbanization and changes in the diet structure, the increase of global and regional trade and climate change are all affecting the existing food safety pattern, and also pose new challenges to food safety risk management in all aspects of the food industry chain. At the same time, food safety innovation, represented by scientific and technological innovation, in response to increasingly complex food safety issues and new requirements for food safety put forward by consumers to take advantage of the trend, the fire of innovation gradually became the original trend, to improve the level of food safety has brought new opportunities. The white paper released by combing the domestic and foreign food industry food safety innovation in policy support, technology application, industry needs, solutions and other aspects of the status quo, share food safety innovation success stories, the future development of food safety innovation put forward feasible recommendations, to explore the future development of food safety innovation.
China Food Science and Technology Association Vice President and Secretary-General Wei Wei said in a speech, along with the rapid changes in human diet life, industrialization, socialization, internationalization process is accelerating, food safety has become a common topic of global concern, and as the world's largest food manufacturing and consumer country - China, in promoting the transformation and upgrading of the food industry, to meet people's increasing consumption requirements, as well as deep integration into the global food supply chain in the process of emerging food safety challenges. Food supply chain is becoming more and more complex, consumer awareness of food safety, the increase of food diversification needs, as well as online food, takeaway catering, new resources and other new business or the emergence of new food, coupled with the normality of epidemic prevention and control, have increased the industry's management of the food supply chain difficult. Traditional concepts, technologies, management models and solutions are no longer sufficient to deal with emerging new food safety risks, so it is increasingly important to explore and integrate innovative dynamics upstream and downstream of the food supply chain, combined with emerging innovations, to address key food safety challenges in a targeted manner.
In order to accurately put the macro trend of food safety innovation and lead the development of industry innovation, the China Food Science and Technology Association and Wal-Mart Food Safety Collaboration Center, with the theme of "food safety innovation", integrated the resources of all parties in academia and the business community, organized a team of academicians, industry experts and industry forces to jointly prepare a "food safety innovation white paper." Through literature retrieval and collection, market research, case analysis and other methods, the report on the current situation of food safety innovation in the industry to conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis, and combined with typical cases, put forward innovative solutions, condensed expert recommendations, with a view to attracting the attention of all stakeholders in the industry to food safety innovation, in order to effectively promote food safety innovation to provide guidance and reference.Party parties have joined forces to build a long-lasting food safety innovation platform
Professor Luo Yunbo, director of the Special Food Research Center of China Agricultural University, pointed out in his report "Opportunities and Challenges for Food Safety Innovation in China in the Post-Epidemic Era" that the outbreak of neo-crown pneumonia has had a great impact on the food industry. The impact of the epidemic on the tertiary industry in the food industry is much greater than that of the first and secondary industries, and the impact on non-agricultural industries is much greater than that of the agricultural industry. After the outbreak, the industry will face a new round of reshuffle, the formation of the Matthew effect. Food safety is the cornerstone of sustainable development of enterprises, but also the most important "resilience" of enterprises, scientific and technological development for food safety provides a new way of thinking.
is particularly urgent to "build a long-lasting food safety network." Luo Yunbo analysis pointed out that the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia, to all walks of life have brought a huge impact, but also brought the opportunity to reconstruct. In particular, this highlight exposed the short board of farmers' markets, food upstream and downstream industrial chain, how to build a long-term food safety network in the normal prevention and control, it is particularly urgent. For the "14th Five-Year Plan" period of food safety construction, Luo Yunbo said, from the construction of regulatory information platform, food safety key technology and equipment independent research and development and innovation and other aspects.
, the White Paper on Food Safety Innovation lasted 8 months and was completed with the participation of 33 research institutes and enterprises. The report not only combs and analyzes the current situation of food safety innovation in the domestic and foreign food industry, but also classifys the innovative technology according to raw materials, production and processing and food circulation by the combing of food safety innovation technology, and puts forward relevant suggestions on the basis of actual cases and questionnaires.
White Paper points out that in the food supply chain network, food enterprises in the procurement, processing, logistics and sales of any link management and operation, will lead to food safety risks, and even cause food safety risks to enlarge. At present, the main food safety risks and challenges in the food supply chain are: food raw material source pollution, production and processing operation is not standardized, the main information asymmetry transparency is not high, circulation link "broken chain" and illegal addition phenomenon occurs from time to time. Traditional concepts, technologies, management models and solutions are no longer sufficient to deal with the emerging new risks of food safety, so it is increasingly important to explore and assemble the innovative dynamics of the food supply chain upstream and downstream, combined with the emerging innovative technologies, to solve the key food safety problems in a targeted manner. The white paper points out that food safety innovation is based on the development of the whole food industry chain, aiming at key issues in the food industry, integrating industry resources, breaking traditional concepts, finding new technologies, establishing new management models, and exploring innovative solutions.Focusing issues Nearly 80% of enterprises pay attention to food safety innovation
In order to fully and deeply understand the industry's demand for food safety innovation, the China Food Science and Technology Association and Wal-Mart Food Safety Collaboration Center jointly organized representative enterprises and scientific research institutions to participate in the questionnaire. The participants covered consulting, end-product manufacturers, chain restaurants, retail, e-commerce, technical service providers and scientific research institutions, and involved various stakeholders in food safety. In terms of understanding and demand for food safety innovation, the respondents said they were aware of this, with more than 77% expressing great concern and understanding and 16% saying they were aware of it. End-product manufacturers pay more attention to food safety innovation. Eighty-five percent of the units surveyed said they had participated in food safety innovation-related activities, of which 40 percent had established an independent food safety innovation department. For food safety difficulties encountered and innovative solutions adopted, the largest proportion of standard regulations, accounting for 30%, the units reflect mainly involved in two aspects: First, some food safety regulations made by the state on the product raw materials without restrictions but restrictions on finished products; For the difficulties encountered in food safety, the vast majority of units hope to seek cooperation to solve food safety problems. Experts suggest that a broader alliance of stakeholders throughout the food industry should be formed, exchanges and cooperation within the industry should be strengthened to accelerate the landing of technology and the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements.
white paper also describes the success story of Wal-Mart's food safety innovation platform. Hua Zhiwei, Senior Director of Wal-Mart's Food Safety Collaboration Center, shared the global food safety innovation platform online. The Innovation Platform promotes the collision of ideas and practices by providing a platform for dialogue and interaction between upstream and downstream enterprises and food safety innovators in the food industry, effectively exploiting food safety technology solutions that have potential in real-world applications. Through the continuous exploration and innovation of the third phase of the 2017-2019 project, the "Wal-Mart Food Safety Innovation Platform" project has gradually developed into an important "innovation engine" in the field of food safety. To date, more than 13 projects have gained industry exposure, corporate pilots and other business development opportunities through the Innovation Platform. He said that in the future, we should continue to rely on the innovation platform, join forces with many parties to work together to improve food safety level.
