摘要：

China's water stress and its pressure on food security is a widely recognized crisis. A framework is proposed and applied at the provincial level to evaluate China's water security for food production. It is based on a water stress index that accounts for the deficit between water supply and aggregate demand of 23 major field crops over the study period (1961-2015). The water demand is estimated based on method recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. The water supply is composed of rainfall and irrigation. Consequently, the water security of both rainfed and irrigated agriculture is evaluated in our research, and the respective contribution of rainfall and irrigation is distinguished. Suggestions regarding adjustment in irrigation investment and planting area are proposed for practical application. The framework also holds great potential to investigate the impact of climate change and the virtual water flow of crops.
