科技创新、产业政策与食品安全:“地沟油”问题的治理之道

Technological innovation,industrial policy and food safety: Evidences from“Swill-cooked dirty oil”governance

近年来,我国政府为治理地沟油投入众多财政和行政资源,但地沟油回流餐桌现象仍屡禁不止,同时,治理面临着餐厨废弃物回收制度存在缺陷、监管难度大等挑战。本文认为,导致这一状况的重要原因是过于强调单一的打击和处罚,忽视了将其与科技创新与产业政策有机结合。本文从科技创新、产业政策和政府监管角度分析影响餐厨垃圾与废弃油脂治理的具体因素,并针对政府提出切实可行的政策建议:搭建平台提高企业科技创新能力,利用财政政策扶持产业,建立废弃油脂回收产业中长期规划,推行生物柴油配额制度与完善废弃油脂回收管理制度。食品安全治理是一个多元化治理工具的组合过程,不能只靠传统的政府监管,还需与食品科技和产业政策进行匹配。

Although Chinese government has input a lot of financial and administrative resources to resolve the problem of “swill-cooked dirty oil”, its policy effect is not so ideal.Meanwhile , a series of challenges such as defec-tive institutional design of kitchen waste recycling and weak regulatory capacity.This paper argues that its overlook on technological innovation and industrial policy have partially led to its policy failure on this issue .Also, this paper summarizes impact factors from the perspectives of technological innovation , industrial policy and government regula-tion.A series of feasible policies include promoting business technological innovation capacity , offering financial sup-ports to industrial development , establishing a long-term plan on kitchen waste recycling and quota system for biodiesel using.Finally, it argues Chinese government should combine its regulatory policy with its technological innovation and industrial policy to achieve its dual policy goals between food safety governance and circular economy development .
