Abstract:

To better safeguard food security, there is an urgent need to explore new growth points of new quality productive forces. We should not only consolidate the foundations of grain production, but also fully tap the potential for yield enhancement. Root and tuber crops have remarkable yield-increasing potential and vast development space. As the world’s largest producer of root and tuber crops, China possesses inherent advantages in foundational resources and industrial scale. This paper systematically elucidates the potential and connotations of root and tuber crops as new-quality productive force crops across multiple dimensions, including their nutritional and health values, production advantages and ecological benefits, multi-functional utility as grain, feed, and vegetable crops, contributions to rural revitalization via industrial development, disaster relief capacity for grain supply, and links to agricultural civilization. It concludes with specific strategies to reshape the new quality productive dynamics of root and tuber crops and reinforce national food security, including fully utilizing idle and abandoned land through root and tuber cultivation, expanding arable land by reclaiming wastelands, and accelerating the adoption of intelligent technologies to reduce costs and enhance efficiency. In the future, we should explore new paradigms of international agricultural cooperation via root and tuber crops, constructing a spatiotemporal food security system spanning domestic and global contexts.
