Foro Global sobre Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutrición (Foro FSN)

As we all know, good nutrition is the foundation of human health. The malnutrition situation could be divided into three types of burden: first type of the burden is hungry situation where calories are not enough and their daily caloric intake is seriously insufficient. It is reported that there are nearly 80 million people around the world still do not have enough to eat. The second is called hidden hunger, stuffed while nutritional imbalanced, lack the necessary trace elements. The third heavy burden is overweight and obesity. There are still  2.1 billion people confused with overweight and obesity. The economy all over the world has suffered damage caused by malnutrition, 5% of GDP damage each year.

As the biggest developing country and the world's second biggest economy, China suffered the issue of malnutrition heavily. Food security incidents occur frequently and the successive exposure, so crisis of consumer trust in domestic food is increasing.

In this context, measures should be taken to protect the food security, such as  building a food safety traceability system, to strengthen the construction of food safety law system and strengthen the supervision of food safety.

These measures have taken some effect already. However, the issues of food security and nutrition has not been solved totally. More measures should be taken gradually in the future.
