More than 350 well-known experts and scholars,representatives of entrepreneurs, and representatives of university teachers and students from China, the United States, Sweden, Singapore and other countries participated in the grand meeting, and conducted seminars and exchanges on the theme of“food safety, food nutrition and human health”.
Deng Zixin, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and professor of Shanghai Jiaotong University, Li Peiwu, academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering and researcher of the Oil Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhao zegang, grade II inspector of Hubei Provincial Department of Education, Li Shuo, Deputy Director of Hubei Provincial Grain Bureau, Professor Dong Shijie, President of Wuhan Polytechnic University, and Professor Bian Ke, former president of Henan University of Technology, attended the meeting. Professor Cheng Shuiyuan, chairman of the conference and Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of Wuhan Polytechnic University presided over the opening ceremony.
Zhao Zegang pointed out that in the face of major changes in the world unseen in a century and new conditions and challenges brought about by the epidemic, Hubei Province has always insisted on opening up to the outside world and unshakable exchanges. As a key talent introduction project created by the provincial government, Wuhan Forum for World-renowned Scientists to Give Lectures in Hubei has played an active role in promoting exchanges and cooperation between universities in our province and world-renowned scientists, and promoting the development of disciplines and majors and the construction of double first-class. He hopes that Wuhan Polytechnic University will take advantage of this seminar to give full play to its academic characteristics and talent advantages, and focus on the theme of “food safety, food nutrition and human health”, and continuously strengthen its cooperation in teaching and research with world-class universities, and make new contributions to the in-depth implementation of the Rural Revitalization strategy, accelerating the construction of a modern agricultural development system and promoting the high-quality economic development of our province.

Li Shuo said in his speech that as the first batch of key supporting provinces for the “Quality Grain Project” in our country, our province has always adhered to the implementation of the “Quality Grain Project” as a starting point, and vigorously promoted the high-quality development of the grain industry around the “Five-Excellence Interaction” and “Three-Chain Coordination”. This year is the first year of the “14th Five-Year Plan”. The provincial party committee and the provincial government attach great importance to agricultural modernization and industrialization, and put forward higher requirements for the safety and health of grain, oil and food. He hopes that the experts and scholars attending the seminar can take the opportunity of this seminar to communicate, exchange, and cooperate more, selflessly to share their views on promoting the high-quality development of the food and grain industry, and fully display the latest achievements of industry research and contribute wisdom and strength to ensuring food safety and enabling healthy China. He also congratulated Wuhan Polytechnic University on its upcoming 70th birthday.
