Core Viewpoint - The article discusses China's three-year "Weight Management Year" initiative, which aims to address obesity through innovative and localized strategies, contrasting with Japan's more rigid legislative approach to health management [4][5][10]. Policy Background - Japan's "Metabo" law, initiated in 2008, mandates waist measurements for employees over 40, reflecting a collective governance model due to high healthcare costs associated with metabolic syndrome [5][6]. - In contrast, China's obesity rates are projected to reach 34.3% among adults and over 19% among children by 2025, prompting the need for a more flexible and innovative approach to health management [5][6]. Governance Approach - Japan's model relies on legal enforcement and economic penalties, which, while effective in the short term, has led to high compliance costs and employee resistance [6]. - China's strategy emphasizes "social co-governance" and digital innovation, incorporating local dietary habits and offering incentives like health points for insurance discounts, balancing strict standards with flexible guidance [7][8]. Cultural Factors - Japan effectively integrates traditional fermented foods into health promotion, while China is exploring its cultural wisdom through seasonal health guidelines, though it still has room for improvement in modernizing traditional practices [8][9]. - Shenzhen's pilot program for personalized health solutions using smart technology indicates a move towards precision health management [8]. Industry Dynamics - Japan's weight management industry has developed a comprehensive ecosystem, with significant growth in organic food brands and functional products, driven by government initiatives [9]. - China's health ecosystem is evolving with digital infrastructure, community weight loss groups, and new professions in health management, creating a multi-faceted approach that goes beyond Japan's reliance on corporate regulation [9][10].

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of the "Green Nitrogen Aquaculture Live Bacteria Station" in Jiangsu's Rudong marks a significant shift towards a green revolution in the South American white shrimp farming industry, emphasizing the benefits of on-site production of high-activity live bacteria for improved shrimp health and water quality [1][3]. Industry Status and Challenges - Rudong has become a national hub for South American white shrimp farming, with over 124,000 acres of farming area, an annual production of 12 billion shrimp fry, and a total output of approximately 140,000 tons, generating an annual output value of 5 billion yuan [2]. - The industry faces challenges such as frequent diseases due to high-density farming, leading to lower survival rates and increased reliance on medications, which raises costs and affects product quality [2]. - Strict environmental regulations on wastewater discharge have put pressure on farmers, making wastewater treatment a key factor for sustainable development [2]. - Market volatility has resulted in low shrimp prices in 2024, causing farmers to struggle with high input costs and limited sales channels, forcing some to sell at lower prices [2]. Breakthroughs Achieved - The establishment of the live bacteria station represents three major breakthroughs: - **Technical Breakthrough**: The on-site smart live bacteria station reduces circulation costs and active loss, lowering the comprehensive cost of bacteria for shrimp farming by over 30% [3]. - **Prevention and Control Breakthrough**: The application of DME bacillus and lactic acid bacteria significantly improves water quality and reduces the incidence of diseases like enteritis by 50%, enhancing shrimp survival rates [3]. - **Model Breakthrough**: The "freshly made and used" micro-ecological application model supports the production of high-quality shrimp without antibiotics, targeting high-end markets [3]. Future Outlook - The integration of microbial technology and smart equipment is expected to drive a green transformation in shrimp farming, shifting from traditional methods to technology-driven practices that proactively prevent diseases and reduce reliance on medications [4]. - The "Rudong model" is anticipated to provide a replicable and promotable example for the high-quality development of the national aquaculture industry, leveraging technology to enhance quality and green income [5]. - The company plans to expand the live bacteria stations to other major aquaculture regions in Guangdong, Guangxi, and Shandong, benefiting local farmers and improving ecological conditions [5].

新华社呼和浩特5月13日电 题：张和平：寻"菌"30余载 让"小菌种"发挥"大能量" 新华社记者侯维轶 "我们从46个国家采集自然发酵乳制品等样品6663份，分离保藏乳酸菌55328株，覆盖乳酸菌物种的98% 以上，建成全球藏量最大、种类最全的原创性乳酸菌种质资源库。"张和平介绍，这些乳酸菌株奠定了 我国乳酸菌科学研究和产业化应用的资源基础。 我国乳酸菌研究在20世纪80年代至90年代，面临着种质资源收集保护不足、资源库建设滞后、优良菌株 筛选技术匮乏以及自主研发能力欠缺等诸多挑战。 "20世纪80年代，我们的乳制品企业几乎都是使用国外的乳酸菌株，当时有关乳制品发酵剂的研发技 术、知识产权以及菌种和产品几乎被西方国家所掌控，购买价格也十分高昂。"张和平回忆道，那时候 去参观国外的乳品企业，其工作人员只允许他参观乳品生产车间，涉及核心技术的乳酸菌制备车间禁止 进入。 "菌种和相关核心技术等不来、要不来，我们一定要努力攻关，将其掌握在自己手里。"1989年，硕士毕 业留校任教的张和平心里憋着一股劲，要建立中国自己的乳酸菌种质资源库，打破国外对优良菌种和产 品的垄断。 为找到优质乳酸菌株，张和平常常深入草原、山区采 ...
