Abstract

The world is facing unprecedented changes today, with continuous population growth intensifying the pressure on food demand. The shift towards diversified dietary structures has increased the demand for feed grains, while climate change further threatens China’s food security by affecting agricultural productivity and carbon sequestration economy. At present, China has entered a new era of food supply and feed. As the food supply for animals, forage is the core component of feed, and its industrial development has profound strategic significance for ensuring national food security. This study analyzes the current situation of China’s forage seed industry, summarizes the cutting-edge achievements of crop basic science and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in intelligent breeding, analyzes the specialized traits of forage and key breeding issues, and points out that intelligent breeding of forage is expected to accelerate the cultivation of new forage varieties and drive industrial development. Based on these, suggestions are provided to promote the development of intelligent breeding of forage grass, and it is hoped that relevant government departments and scientific and technological workers will pay attention to forage grass breeding and industry.
