“…Several studies have used the ecological footprint (EF) to estimate the land demand [30,31], in which Li pointed out that with the expansion of urbanization, the proportion of residents consuming food away from home increased, leading to a nearly 33-fold increase (44,440 ha) in the total EF in this sector from 2002 to 2015. Additionally, the vast territory and significant regional cultural differences in China contribute to variations in natural resource endowment, economic levels, and customs, resulting in differences in dietary habits, cultural backgrounds, and nutritional emphases among Chinese residents [32][33][34]. Thus, the food consumption patterns of Chinese residents exhibit substantial diversity among provinces, with their dietary structures often displaying imbalances.…”

The conflict between economic growth and the arable land demand poses a significant challenge to maintaining food security and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Meanwhile, substantial regional disparities in food consumption contribute to variations in land demand, further exacerbating constraints on food security. However, few studies have delved into regional differences in land demand related to food consumption. To bridge these gaps, this study estimated the arable land demand and associated pressures, considering food consumption patterns and the land footprint across 31 provincial districts in China. The findings reveal that grains remain the primary crop consumed by Chinese residents. Notably, the food consumption pattern exhibits substantial disparities among provincial districts, particularly concerning livestock products. Given China's vast population and escalating consumption of livestock, the country demonstrates heightened land demands. While China does not face a national-level food security threat, regional disparities are evident, with eight provincial districts facing potential food security risks. This study explored the challenges and pathways in maintaining food security and the visions to achieve it, emphasizing the importance of sustaining a balanced food consumption pattern, reducing food waste, improving environmentally friendly agriculture practices, formulating effective and continuous laws and regulations, and exploring potential land resource development to alleviate the pressure on arable land and ensure food security.
