DIRECTIONS OF IMPROVING AND ASSESSING THE ROLE OF INNOVATIVE SELECTION IN AGRICULTURE FOR FOOD SECURITY

Abstract

As one of the critical factors determining food security, resource availability is highly contingent on the balance between the increasing demand for food and the finite natural resources. This becomes particularly challenging in the Chinese context, characterized by its high population density and increasing urbanization, which impose substantial stress on agricultural land and water resources. Therefore, it is imperative to explore innovative strategies that optimize resource use efficiency in agriculture, thereby enhancing food security.
