Abstract:

The Big Food Perspective is an innovative concept formed in the new stage of national development to adapt to China's modernization strategy and improve people's healthy diet. The range of food involved in livestock and poultry mainly includes meat, eggs and dairy products, which play an indispensable role in human diet and are of great significance to human health and life-sustaining activities. The consumption structure of livestock and poultry food in our country is gradually optimized, and the output and consumption keep a good momentum of increasing year by year. Livestock and poultry food production capacity will gradually increase, and production and consumption will increase steadily. But the growth rate will be slowing down, and the import quantity is expected to decline. In this process, science and technology support is increasingly prominent. However, problems such as low yield of varieties, tight forage resources, and insufficient popularization of intelligent equipment still need to be overcome. In the future, the development of livestock and poultry food industry should focus on scale, intelligence and green. Increaseing invesment should be allocated in biological breeding, forage resource development, and alternative protein resource research to improve the supply and safety of livestock and poultry food. This paper reviewed the dynamic characteristics of per capita consumption ratio, supply and consumption of livestock and poultry food. Based on this, the future trend was forecasted scientifically. An in-depth analysis of livestock and poultry food supply and demand structure of the changing process and development trends in China would be conducted. And to comprehensively assess the status quo of technological innovation and the bottlenecks encountered in this field, then explore the potential growth points of livestock and poultry food supply. Thus proposed a series of strategic suggestions and countermeasures based on technological support, to contribute to the sustainable development of the livestock and poultry food industry under the Big Food Perspective.

Key words: The Big Food Perspective, animal husbandry, supply and demand trends, potential tapping, countermeasures and suggestions
