Abstract:

This paper follows the logical main line of “strategic essence?technological breakthrough?key measures”, and takes the questions“why should non-timber forest-based economics pursue high-quality development? what actions are necessary? how should this development be implemented?”as its analytical framework. Following this approach, this paper analyzes the characteristics of high quality development of non-timber forest-based economics and interprets its relationship with national strategic priorities, such as deepening the reform of the collective forest tenure system, the transformation and upgrading of state-owned forest areas, building a diversified food supply system, the construction of the forest“four repositories”, and the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Based on the strategic value and essential requirements of high-quality development of non-timber forest-based economics, it is clearly stated that in the future, efforts should be made in key areas such as conservation of under-forest biological germplasm resources and development of new germplasm, ecological and efficient cultivation and management of under-forest resources, and deep processing and comprehensive utilization of under-forest products. Break through key directions such as conservation and propagation techniques for edible under-forest fungi, preservation technologies for endangered and rare forest-origin medicinal plants, exploration and utilization of key germplasm resources, simulated wild cultivation and nurturing techniques for forest-grown fungi, multi-functional and ecological planting techniques for forest-origin medicinal plants, full life-cycle“Forest+”integrated management technologies, green separation techniques for active components, deep processing technologies for health and wellness products. Based on the practical demands for the high-quality development of non-timber forest-based economics and technological breakthroughs, key measures to promote the high-quality development of non-timber forest-based economics are proposed: cultivate new quality and productivity of non-timber forest-based economics through technological innovation, gather new elements for the development of non-timber forest-based economics through institutional incentives, stimulate new impetus for the development of non-timber forest-based economics through industrial integration, promote new synergy for the development of non-timber forest-based economics through departmental coordination, and drive the quality improvement and efficiency enhancement of the development of non-timber forest-based economics through demonstration models.

Key words: non-timber forest-based economics, deepen the reform of the collective forest tenure system, reform of state-owned forest areas, the greater food approach, forest“four repositories”, comprehensive rural revitalization, directions for technological breakthroughs, policy measures, high-quality development
