Agriculture is the root of the country. People are based on health. Food is the most important thing in health. Food is the first thing to eat. Black first. Under the guidance of the scientific thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, the whole country is vigorously developing an ecological agricultural economy with high quality and efficiency. On the one hand, it realizes the grand strategy of targeted poverty alleviation, and more importantly, it develops a large health industry with Chinese characteristics.

Black food, as the pioneer of health food, has been lurking in many food fields, not to be discovered and valued by people. As early as 30 years ago, Professor Lai Laizhan, a researcher recognized by the industry as the "father of Chinese black food", began to study the nutritional value of black food. The concept of the eighth nutrient was discovered and put forward successively. Professor Lai's research found that as long as the dark food is worn, it contains biological pigments composed of melanin, anthocyanins, flavonoids and polyphenols. Such biological pigments have antioxidant, health, beauty, longevity and other extremely important nutritional functions for human beings. In the world, for the first time, black food is rich in thousands of flavonoids, polyphenols, anthocyanins, melanin and so on, which have the function of anti-oxidation and anti-aging, which are classified as super nutrients, that is, the eighth nutrient.

After decades of research, planting and development, China's black food industry has begun to take shape. The black agricultural industry counties represented by Rong County in Guangxi, Yang County in Shaanxi, Jiaoling County in Guangdong, Longli County in Guizhou and Miyun County in Beijing have already laid out the black food industry, but they can not form an influence. Black industry and black consumption are gaining momentum.

In order to speed up the development of high-quality and high-efficiency black health food industry and promote the consumption of black food, black food, as the theme exhibition area of "China Guangzhou Health Food and Black Food Expo 2018", will be held in Guangzhou Poly World Trade Expo from August 24 to 26, 2018; at the same time, the "China Black Food Industry Development Conference" will be held. The conference will be carried out in the fields of trade sales, industry research, technical discussion, regional development and project financing. The conference was organized by the "Father of Black Food in China", the founder of black functional food science in the country, and successively won the first and second prizes of the National Science and Technology Progress Award and the winner of the special allowance for outstanding contributions issued by the State Council. Professor Lai Laizhan, a researcher at the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, participated in the planning and initiation of this conference as the chief initiator of this event. China Black Food Industry Alliance, China Medicinal Diet Research Association, etc. are co-sponsors, and Guangzhou Ollett Exhibition Consulting Co., Ltd. is the organizer to jointly build a platform for China's black food industry.

The nutrition concept of black food is first put forward by China in the world, and is gradually recognized by the world industry. However, after more than 30 years of development, it has not been formally formed and has not formed a strong scale benefit. Formal because there is no correct and strong consumer awareness in the market. High-quality products, no good platform, no stage foil, can not highlight their own value.

To this end, "popularizing the concept of black food health preservation and promoting the development of the health food industry" has become the basic purpose of the conference; through the conference, consumers, black food sales units, production enterprises, technology research and development institutions, government agricultural authorities and the media can be organically combined; jointly improve the consumption habits of black health food; Let the media, government departments, research and development institutions, production and circulation and other fields pay close attention, the rapid promotion of the development process of the industry will bring the spring of development for China's black health food industry.
