Food-medicines are a significant component for traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese cuisine culture, and the Healthy China initiative. Herein, we summarized the opportunities, development status, problems, and countermeasures for the food-medicine industry in China by using literature analysis, data mining, and expert consultation. Our research indicates that food-medicines have potential values in preventing and treating chronic diseases as well as delaying aging, and they are expected to become a daily material basis for disease prevention. Moreover, food-medicines are crucial for promoting the domestic and international economic cycles and supporting rural revitalization. Furthermore, we suggest that China should (1) increase its investment in research on food-medicines to protect people's health; (2) improve the regulation system to strengthen supervision and establish regulation and quality standards systems that accord with Chinese conditions; and (3) enhance international communication and trade to facilitate the implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative and the establishment of a global community of health for all.
