China's Juncao technology sows seeds of hope in Africa

Fatime Abba Rekya is pictured at an edible mushroom cultivation workshop she established in Damara, the Central African Republic, Feb. 6, 2024. Fatime Abba Rekya learns Juncao technology on a training class in Bangui in 2022. Since the 1980s, Lin Zhanxi, a professor of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, has led a research team on Juncao technology in China's southeastern Fujian Province. Juncao means "mushroom" and "grass" in Chinese. Its versatility is a key feature, allowing it to grow edible mushrooms, provide livestock feed and help battle desertification. Since the 1990s, China has shared the technology with over 100 countries by opening training classes and conducting on-site demonstrations. By now, Juncao technology has taken root in more than 40 African countries, helping African farmers combat poverty and promoting cooperation between China and Africa.
