节约粮食，最终仍要落实到每个人身上。对于普通家庭，按需采购、适量烹饪是举手之劳；对于餐饮企 业，推广小份餐、参与临期食品捐赠，既是社会责任，也能减少经营损耗。正如《粮食节约和反食品浪 费行动方案》所倡导的，"将粮食节约和反食品浪费融入市民公约、村规民约、行业规范"，加强引导规 范，让节约成为全民自觉。 一台智能柜机，串联起政府、企业、社会组织与公众的协同参与，折射出一座城市的文明温度。当越来 越多城市建起"食物银行"，当节约从口号变成习惯，大国粮仓将更加稳固，中国饭碗也将端得更牢。 "食物银行"何以获如此高的关注？关键在于其创新性地破解了临期食品、余量食物被动垃圾化的难题。 政府搭台、企业参与、社会组织运营、全民共建共治共享，福田区已与盒马鲜生、华润ole、永辉超市 等近100家企业建立稳定合作，累计节约食物约202吨，减少碳排放约404吨。然而，这只是初步探索。 粮食浪费问题贯穿全链条，据有关机构估算，我国每年损失浪费的食物约9200亿斤，从采收、储运到加 工、消费，每个环节都有"跑冒滴漏"。这提醒我们必须树立节约减损就是增产的理念，推进全链条节约 减损。 如何破解难题？"食物银行"的实践提供了进一步启示。 ...
