Salt in the soil has always made it impossible to grow crops.But that's now changing.
Famous agriculturalist （农学家）Yuan Longping said they would grow a special rice.They would turn 100 million mu of saline﹣alkali （盐碱的）land into farmland in the country over the next 10 years.
In 2017，Yuan's team successfully grew rice on the saline﹣alkali land in Jiangsu Province.It is called sea rice.Now they have made great progress.Both China and many other countries around the world have large saline﹣alkali land.If all of it can be used to grow rice and grain，it is very important for food security（安全）.And it will help the UN zero﹣hunger goal come true.
Yuan Longping was named as"Father of Hybrid Rice".He helped China make a great wonder—feeding nearly 20% of the world's population with less than 9% of the world's farmland.Then Yuan had a much bigger dream—to save the world from hunger.The world is seeing China's sea rice as a way to fight food insecurity.
"I had a dream.Rice was as high as sorghum （高粱）；ears （穗）were as long as brooms；grains were as big as peanuts （花生）.I could actually enjoy the cool under the rice crops." Yuan said of his childhood dream.And he was one step closer to his dream.
"I'm confident in the future of my country，and I want to do more for my motherland." said Yuan.

Qi Haoran, a Junior 1 student, was quite busy over the past winter vacation – and not just with homework. Qi and 10 other classmates made a volunteer（志愿者） group to call on people to join the Clean Your Plate Campaign (“光盘行动”).
The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. “Excuse me, do you know that 950 million（百万） people around the world still haven’t got enough to eat? Please don’t waste food.” They would say this kind of thing hundreds of times every day.
The Clean Your Plate Campaign began in January, 2013. It calls on people to reduce（减少，降低） food waste.（浪费）
China in these years had serious problems with wasted food. CCTV reported that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year. Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous（大方的）. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests eat all the food.
Luckily, the campaign has got the support （支持）of many. In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner give the guests（顾客）who have eaten all the food a sticker (贴花). People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. More than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer (提供) smaller dishes and encourage (鼓励) their guests to take leftovers (剩饭剩菜) home.
To reduce food waste is a big task(任务), and it needs time. It’s important that everyone does their bit（尽自己的一份力量）, just like Qi. Did you finish your meals today?
