Abstract: Objective: The objective of this paper is to identify the key policy and strategic issues that need to be addressed to ensure national food security by using the big food vision. Design/methodology/approach: Based on China’s specific national and agricultural characteristics, this paper discusses the current challenges and opportunities facing China’s food security and identifies the key policy and strategic issues that should be addressed to ensure food security in China using the big food vision. Findings: Food supply in China has been significantly improved, and the food consumption has been significantly changed, but China still faces with multiple challenges, such increasingly unbalanced diets, unsustainable use of land and water resources, mismatch between supply and demand, and increased volatility in international trade environment. To ensure China’s food security, China should focus on the following four aspects:(i) strengthening the support of agricultural scientific and technological innovation; (ii) reforming policy and institutions;(iii) nudging consumer behavior change; and (iv) fully utilizing international trade and cooperation.
