From Soil to Snack: How Northeast China’s Corn Revolution is Feeding the Future
Imagine rows of golden corn stretching to the horizon, where cutting-edge farming meets tradition. That’s the scene in Jilin Province’s Lishu County, part of China’s famed maize belt, where CGTN recently hosted a mouthwatering live exploration of *corn culture*—literally!
The spotlight? The Lishu Model, a homegrown strategy to protect the region’s ultra-fertile black soil (nature’s VIP ticket for bumper harvests). Through crop rotation, tech-driven farming, and eco-friendly practices, locals are keeping their 'black gold' thriving—ensuring future generations get their popcorn (and cornbread) fix.
What makes Lishu’s corn stand out? Think sweeter kernels, higher yields, and snacks that’ve gone viral on Chinese social media. During the broadcast, anchors taste-tested everything from crispy corn chips to artisanal congee, proving agriculture can be both sustainable *and* delicious.
Why it matters: With global food security in focus, Lishu’s blend of ancient wisdom and modern science offers lessons far beyond northeast China. As one farmer quipped, 'Good soil isn’t just dirt—it’s history.'
