Let's look at the abundance of "grain" in the forest - the observation of the forestry and grass industry in our province from the perspective of big food

author:Jilin Rural Daily

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that "the people's food needs are more diversified, which requires us to change our concepts and establish a big agriculture and big food concept."

Industry experts believe that the proposal of the "big food concept" provides a rare historical opportunity for the high-quality development of forest "grain bank".

In the context of the deepening and expansion of the connotation of food security and food security, does Jilin have the confidence to contribute to the strength of forests and grasslands to ensure food security? Can Jilin seize the opportunity to provide more possibilities for building a diversified food supply system?

What are the advantages of industrial development?

The "family base" is rich and the understory is golden

Under the spring sun, the delicacies of the mountains and fields hidden in the soil break through the soil and sprout green. The vegetable diggers returned with a full load, and the edible mountain delicacies and wild vegetables were successively "walked" out of the mountains and sold in the market.

The sky is getting brighter, and the voices are noisy. In the Ji'an morning market, spiny sprouts, mountain celery, understory ginseng, matsutake mushrooms and other fresh products are on the market, which is ecological and delicious. This lively corner is not only a gathering place of fireworks, but also a vivid display of the generosity of the mountains and forests.

Relying on the advantages of good forest resources, Ji'an has planned to focus on planting and breeding under the forest characteristics, and cultivated the understory economy into a growth point that drives regional economic development and increases the income of forest farmers.

Let's look at the abundance of "grain" in the forest - the observation of the forestry and grass industry in our province from the perspective of big food

Looking at Jilin from Ji'an, the province's forest resources are abundant.

According to the latest data, the forest coverage rate of our province is 45.42%, and the forest volume is 1.109 billion cubic meters, ranking 10th and 6th respectively in the country.

This piece of mountain forest is a treasure house and a granary.

In 2023, the province's use of forest land to develop forest industry will reach 17.25 million mu, and 580,000 tons of economic forest products will be produced.

According to the data, the total output value of the forestry and grass industry has increased from 110 billion yuan in 2019 to 150 billion yuan in 2023, achieving leapfrog development.

The stable and sustainable development of the industry is not only supported by the advantages of a deep "family foundation", but also by the coordinated promotion of favorable policies.

In the past ten years, key forestry ecological restoration and governance projects such as the Three-North Project, the Tianbao Project, and the Project of Returning Farmland to Forest and Grassland have never stopped, and ecological resources have been comprehensively protected and improved.

The "Jilin Province Forest Economic Development Plan (2021-2025)", "Jilin Province Forestry and Grassland Development "14th Five-Year Plan", and "Jilin Province Forest and Grass Industry Transformation and Development Plan (2021-2030)" have been promulgated, which have clarified the future path of forest and grass industry development in the top-level design.

The big food concept is an extension of the traditional food concept, which extends the way of obtaining food from cultivated land resources to the entire land resources. Jilin, which has 8,829,800 hectares of forest land, has advantages and confidence in excavating and developing forest food.

This year's No. 1 document of the provincial party committee proposes to build a diversified agricultural industry system. As an important part of diversified industries, the forestry and grass industry will usher in greater development opportunities, create richer industrial formats, release more "two mountains" benefits, and drive the overall leap of the forestry and grass industry.

How to practice the "Lin+" article?

Dig deep into the potential according to local conditions

How can provinces with large forest and grass resources gradually turn their development advantages into real output?

From the current point of view, an obvious phenomenon is that expanding the scale, strengthening the technology, supplementing the chain, and building the brand, Jilin is exploring a more mature path for the forest and grass industry, and is gradually getting better and stronger in forest food.

At the beginning of this year, a big survey of Jilin's specialties made blueberries in our province out of the circle, and the topic rushed to the hot search.

Baishan is one of the five dominant blueberry producing areas in China, and it is also the latest blueberry ripening area in China. When the spring is cold, the science and technology greenhouse is full of berries; In the middle of summer, blueberry trees are planted on the hill.

Changbai Mountain Forest Area is the main blueberry producing area in our province, with the largest industrial scale, and the perfect and mature industrial chain generates an output value of more than 800 million yuan every year.

The development path of the blueberry industry in Baishan has both individuality and commonality. With excellent ecology, favorable policy support, and strong market demand, the forestry and grass industry has more thinking and scrutiny of its own functions and values, giving birth to a "forest +" development model that fully reflects the characteristics of the industry.

What is the "Forest+" development model? Relying on forests, woodlands and their ecological environments, and following the principle of sustainable management, planting, breeding, collection and processing are carried out in woodlands, underforests and forests.

Forest fruit model, forest medicine model, forest vegetable model, forest frog model...... A multi-dimensional forest "granary" is about to emerge.

"In terms of development model, the pace of intensification and clustering of forestry and grass industry is accelerating, and the share of characteristic forest products and their processed products in the international and domestic markets is increasing." Tan Guoqing, director of the Science and Technology Industry Division of the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau, said that in view of the "forest +" development model, the forestry and grassland departments of our province have drafted the "Action Plan for the High-quality Development of the Forest Economy in Jilin Province", and the local forestry authorities at all levels are also preparing special industrial development plans.

According to the local conditions of resource endowment, more possibilities will be added for the high-quality development of the forestry and grass industry.

How are regional differences laid out?

Resource refinement empowers the industry

If the "Forest+" model is a "food map" based on the "big land", then the development path set based on regional differences is the industrial layout after the refinement of resources.

Jilin, mountainous in the east, semi-mountainous and hilly in the middle, and wind-blown sand plains in the west. Under the different natural endowments, how to effectively amplify and activate the green advantages has become the key direction of Jilin's forestry and grass industry.

Looking at the east, the dense forest is deep and the pine waves are bursting, and a large number of high-quality pine nuts and Chinese medicinal materials are introduced to the market every year;

Overlooking the central part, there are "China Sika Deer Breeding Demonstration County (District)", Sika Deer National Seed Preservation Farm, and the whole industrial chain is booming;

Overlooking the west, sea buckthorn, mountain apricot, wolfberry ...... Tree species with both ecological and economic use are spread in the sandy land, activating and releasing the dual benefits of ecology and economy.

Throughout the eastern, central and western regions, the natural differences have created local characteristics, which is also the foundation and support for the construction of the three major layouts of the forestry and grass industry.

In the "Jilin Province Economic Development Plan for Understory (2021-2025)", the industrial pattern of Korean pine characteristic resource industry in the east, understory Chinese medicinal materials industry, central characteristic economic animal breeding industry, and drought-resistant and sand-fixing cash crops and medicinal materials in the west is clarified.

"The three major layouts of the east, the middle and the west are in line with the actual situation of the forest industry in our province, with the characteristics of green, recycling, and sustainability, and have achieved remarkable results in enriching the forest and grass economic formats, shortening the economic development cycle, increasing the added value of industrial products, promoting the sustainable development of forests and grasslands, and increasing the income of the workers." Tan Guoqing said that these have laid a solid foundation and reliable guarantee for the practice of the big food concept.

The rational planning layout provides support for the construction of the optimal pattern of industrial development.

24 provincial-level forestry industrialization leading enterprises and 10 provincial-level underforest economic demonstration bases have played a strong driving and leading role, and 14 forestry industry demonstration counties have achieved an output value of 75.75 billion yuan. The multiplication of the forest and grass industry has repeatedly added new fruits.

Under the three major layouts, the industrial scale has been expanded, the industrial chain has been extended, and the industrial efficiency has been improved. From the perspective of the industry, relying on forests to provide food has a more solid foundation, richer varieties and more considerable potential, which is of great significance to ensuring food security.
