《English Translation》

黄刚: 小花, today is World Food Day. General Secretary 习近平 has always emphasized food security, saying that China must rely on itself and be self-sufficient in feeding its people.
陈花: That's indeed very important. If we don't grow our own food, our lives can easily be controlled by others. Now, the government is also supporting grain farmers by providing subsidies.
黄刚: Exactly. The General Secretary also said that 'China's rice bowl must be filled with Chinese grain.' He has visited many rural areas to personally inspect the grain-growing conditions and is also focused on transforming saline-alkali land, such as developing salt-tolerant crops in Hebei and Shandong.
陈花: Growing crops on saline-alkali land? That sounds quite challenging, but if it succeeds, it will increase the amount of arable land.
黄刚: Yes. There’s also the concept of a 'Big Food Outlook,' which involves not only growing grain but also developing diverse resources such as marine and forest products, like offshore aquaculture and forest foods.
陈花: Looking at it this way, food security is indeed crucial for the country's long-term development. Each of us should also cherish food and start with our own actions.
黄刚: Yes, 'When the granaries are full, the world is at peace.' Only with sufficient food can society remain stable.
