It includes protection of farmland from being converted to other uses
BEIJING – China's first food security law aimed at achieving "absolute self-sufficiency" in staple grains came into effect on Saturday, reinforcing efforts by the world's biggest agriculture importer to lower its reliance on overseas purchases.
Passed just six months after its first reading, the rush to adopt the food security law reflects China's urgency to resolve issues that have curbed production, such as a lack of arable land and water resources, labour shortages and a lack of agriculture technology. "It shall adhere to the principle of storing grain in the ground and using technology to improve grain production," it said, to ensure "basic self-sufficiency in cereal grains and absolute self-sufficiency in staple grains for food use."
Entities who violate the law may face a fine ranging from 20,000 yuan to 2 million yuan, while individual offenders may be slapped with fines between 20,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan.
