| Food security is closely related to the national economy and the people's livelihood as well as social stability, so it should be with great concerned and soldiered on. As an old Chinese proverbs said: "Food was the paramount necessity of the people, and grain was the basement for food". Hangzhou is located along the Chinese southeast coast, it has rapid development of economy and dense population, but shortage of production resource relatively. So contradiction between production and demand becomes more increasingly prominent. Food supply replying mainly on importing from others provinces and abroad transferring, leads to the market risks increasingly. Therefore, sustained and steady development of grain production, building a food safety system, and guaranteeing the effective supply of grain are particularly urgent and necessary for Hangzhou, as a coastal economically developed city.The food-producing resources were systematic and multi-focused analyzed, such as natural resources, land resources, agricultural disasters, labor resources, technology resources, service system, policy project of Hangzhou in this paper. Recalling nearly three decades of grain production history, evolution and current status of Hangzhou, a details analysis and calculations were made for the existing food production capacity, and for the current food security in Hangzhou. According to the main issues of Hangzhou's food security, three strategic measures are put forward in order to provide a basis for the development of grain production and guarantee of food supply in Hangzhou.1. There are 4.5 million acres farming land in Hangzhou and there are only 0.07 acres per person. The permanent population is 7,862,000 in the whole city, of which the household registration population is 6,724,000. The annual total grain consumption is 3,409,000 tons, the annual total grain output was 1,082,000 tons. The grain self-sufficiency rate is only 32%, it has declined by 53% compared with the rate of 85% in 1984.2. At present, the grain productivity of Hangzhou is 1,670,000 tons, of which the actual productivity is 1,270,000 tons, the potential production capacity is 400,000 tons.3. Strategy of government leding. Grain is a strategic and special commodity, so to maintaining the food security, the government must play a leading role, It needs further to carry out the responsibility system of food security, establish the perfect food security emergency predetermined plan and the early warning mechanism. It also needs to study and make relevant policies to support, protect and enhance the famaers' activity of growing grain and implement measures to protect productive resources such as arable land, etc. as well as agricultural ecological environment.4.Strategy of invigorating grain through science and technology. The grain production is the foundation of the food security. It's not realistic to raise the grain total output by increasing grain growing area in a large scale. Instead, it should be depend on science and technology to raise grain production level. It must be based on the basic self-sufficiency of grain, sharpen the grain productivity and the per unit area yield level practically by carrying out seeds and seedlings project, per unit area yield promotion project, grain production function area construction, farmland infrastructure construction, fertile soil project and sickness Chinese caterpillar fungus "detoxification management" project and so on.5. Strategy of supplying safely. The food security will finally manifest in whether it can safeguard the effective supply of the grain production. Therefore, it should carry out the strategy of "walk out and introduce in" by advancing the grain production scale management positively. Perfect the market network of grain circulation, make the grain transportation channel unimpeded, sharpen the grain reserve capacity and so on. Thus it comes to construct a food security safeguard system of production, circulation, market and warehousing. |
