"Wood Ear Fellow" Li Yu and His "Poverty Team"

li Yu,
China Academy of Engineering
and professor of Jilin Agricultural University, is a well-known expert in mygiology in China, reporting more than 400 kinds of slime bacteria for more than 30 years, accounting for 43% of the world's known species, and publishing 71 new species, ending the history of no Chinese-named new species in the past. He is also committed to the promotion of edible bacteria industry, so that edible bacteria widely on the people's table, to drive farmers out of poverty and increase income.
town of Huangsongdian in Luhe City, Jilin Province, is the first place where Li Yu carried out industrialization promotion. The town of Huangsongdian has a tradition of planting wooden ears. In the 1990s, Li Yu saw a billboard promoting Mule on a business trip and came to the door.
he and the farmers together to crawl and roll, cultivate new varieties, explore the ground placement of all-light cultivation, the promotion of micro-hole ear technology ... In a few years, Huang Songdian Town has become China's well-known black wood ear town, and now all the villages in the town are engaged in the production of edible bacteria. Li Yu was called by the local cadres and masses as
", "the farmer's god of wealth."
the development of the industry, Li Yu also brought out a team of edible bacteria research and industry, his disciples all over the north of Tiannanhai. The team includes both his students and a number of "outsiders". Huang Songdian town cadres Cui Cheng under the influence of Li Yu deeply fell in love with edible fungi cultivation, retired, joined Li Yu team, followed him to the country.
the fight against poverty, Li Yu and his team have become a "pro-poor team".
Jilin Wangqing, Zhejiang Qingyuan, Shanxi Lin County, Guizhou Copper Ren, Hebei Yiping..." Easy to get started, quick results, edible fungus industry in the fight against poverty has much to offer. Li Yu said.
of the more than 500 poor counties in China, many are preferred to develop edible fungus industry. Muel and his
left footprints in more than 40 poor counties (cities) across the country.
2017, through the Ministry of Science and Technology to match, Li Yu came to Shaanxi Yushu "to the pulse" of the local edible bacteria industry. After repeated experiments and comparisons, 5 suitable varieties were selected and bred for the birch. Until now, "team" member Song Bing every month to the water for technical guidance, arrangements related to the test. During the outbreak, Li Yu and his "team" also compiled guidelines for the production of edible fungi sent to all regions, adhere to the epidemic prevention and control and production and cultivation.
According to incomplete statistics, over the years Li Yu team in the country set up more than 30 edible bacteria technology promotion base, training technical backbone of more than 8000 people, radiation led farmers more than 30,000 households, the cumulative number of promotion of more than 5 billion bags, to create direct economic benefits of nearly 6 billion yuan.
From a production of only 57,000 tons in 1978 to an annual output of nearly 40 million tons today, Li Yu believes that edible bacteria have the characteristics of "not competing with grain, not competing with land for fertilizer, not competing with agriculture", but also to realize the resourceization of agricultural waste, promote circular economic development, the prospects are very broad.
although more than a few years old, Li Yu never stopped the pace of scientific research and promotion of edible bacteria. In Li Yu's mind, although the edible fungus industry has been all over the country, but many places behind the production technology, high-quality varieties of slow breeding. "I hope to combine the Internet and artificial intelligence technology, with industrial thinking to guide the development of edible fungus characteristics industry, to achieve intelligent upgrading of the entire industrial chain." He said.
