Abstract
Grain is a commodity of strategic significance. The general self-sufficiency of cereal grains is vital to people's livelihood and national security of China, a country with a population approaching 1.4 billion. Northeast China is endowed with the most abundant agricultural resources in China. Its grain industry is growing faster than any other part of China; it has the greatest potentials for development, and makes the maximum contribution to national food security. Northeast China is now an important commodity grain and livestock production base. In this paper, the food security situation in this region is elaborated against the backdrop of internationalization and greenization, the trend of food supply and demand in this region is analyzed, problems concerning food security are classified, and strategic suggestions are proposed, including accelerating the supply-side structural reform for agriculture, promoting the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry, and developing benefit-oriented agriculture. This study is hoped to provide a reference for implementation of decisions involving regional food security and sustainable development.
