In 2020, COVID-19 had a serious influence on food production and trade. Now at least 690 million people are running out of food around the world. However, a research shows that a third of the world's food is wasted every year. Although China has enough food for people, the problem of wasting food has been serious in the past few years, as it was once reported that food wasted in China was enough to feed 200 million people a year. Luckily, the Chinese government has already noticed this problem. President Xi Jinping said it is necessary to create a social environment where wasting is shameful and thriftiness (节俭) is good. The"Clean Your Plate Campaign (光盘行动)" first started in 2013 for the purpose of putting an end to food wasting. In August, 2020, it was carried out (执行) more widely in order to develop people' s daily habits and call for the public to stop wasting food. The government is also going to pass new laws against wasting food. Wen Tiejun, an expert at the Renmin University of China, said that everyone should play a role in saving food. Signs around the restaurant say "Clean Your Plate" and " Be Thrifty and Diligent (勤俭节约)". The Chinese people are actively trying to take part in this campaign. However, how to be thrifty and diligent has become a question that everyone needs to think about creatively. ![]() |
