由于世界上人口最多的亚洲越来越感到保 证食品供应的紧迫,科学家们正在深入探索亚洲的主要作物稻米产量的突破。 “绿色革命”产量的上升势头逐渐减弱,稻米产量供不应求。这些趋势促使植物栽培者们从采用高产品种转向给稻米移植基因,从而使之抗虫害并较少地依赖化学制剂。 亚洲生产和消费世界稻米产量的九成以上,稻米对于保证亚洲食品供应是至关重要的。预计到2025年稻米的需求量将增加70％。这意味着,亚洲稻米产量必须从目前的4.8亿吨在未来的30年中增加8亿多吨。
As Asia, the world’s most populous nation, is increasingly feeling the urgency of securing a food supply, scientists are delving deeper into the breakthrough in rice production, the main crop in Asia. The rising momentum of “green revolution” gradually weakened and the output of rice was in short supply. These trends have prompted plant growers to shift from high-yielding varieties to rice transplanting genes to make them pest-resistant and less dependent on chemicals. More than 90% of the world’s rice production in Asia is consumed and consumed, and rice is crucial to ensuring the supply of food in Asia. It is estimated that the demand for rice will increase by 70% by 2025. This means that Asian rice production must increase by more than 800 million tons from the current 480 million tons in the next 30 years.
