Abstract:

This article explores the guiding significance of the 'all-encompassing approach to food' in fostering agricultural science innovation. It delves into the current challenges and opportunities in agricultural science innovation and proposes ideas and strategies under the guidance of the 'all-encompassing approach to food'. The paper argues that 'all-encompassing approach to food' is the strategic direction of national food security, which requires us to start from better meeting people's needs for a better life, develop food resources in all directions and ways, enrich food varieties, and ensure effective supply of various foods. The paper highlights the existing predicaments in agricultural science innovation, such as the scarcity of foundational data, the disconnection between agricultural production and technology, the uneven distribution of agricultural talents, the sluggish evolution of agricultural logistics systems, and the disparate levels of scientific research across disciplines. It is needed to strengthen gene and phenotype research, establish AI agriculture platform, cultivate compound talents, optimize agricultural product circulation channels, and promote cross-disciplinary communication and cooperation. And it also proposes specific measures for agricultural science innovation such as grasping the initiative of food security, encouraging original innovation of agricultural germplasm resources, developing facility agriculture and smart agriculture, developing biotechnology and bio-industry, promoting structural optimization of agricultural supply system, high-quality and efficient development. Agricultural science innovation under the guidance of 'all-encompassing approach to food' will become an important driving force for future agricultural development and contribute to food security and national health.

Key words: all-encompassing approach to food, agricultural science, science innovation, subject optimization development
