当前，全球粮食安全形势复杂严峻，与饮食相关的慢性疾病普遍存在，“以健康为中心”“营养多元”“食物即药物”等观点成为普遍共识；利用农业生物多样性来探寻高产且有营养的新一代作物成为国际潮流，黄精具有明显的特色和优势。本文从充分发挥黄精潜能的角度出发，系统总结了黄精食药用历史、黄精林粮营养与功效的物质基础、黄精资源分布与粮食生产潜力。现有研究发现，黄精不含淀粉，富含结构复杂、易降解、有能量的果聚糖等营养功效物质，能够服务生命健康；适合林下栽培或与玉米套种，不占良田、不争林地，产能潜力极大，可用于保障粮食安全；适合广大农户种植和加工，经济效益良好，有利于实现共同富裕。为解决黄精林粮产业存在的基础科学研究薄弱、应用技术支撑不足、文化传承与政策支持滞后等问题，需加强黄精基础科学研究、强化黄精全产业链应用技术研究，同时将黄精生产列入木本粮油政策资金保障体系，将黄精应用纳入医疗保健与人口健康规划，将黄精产业列为乡村振兴和共同富裕的重要举措，构建完备的黄精全产业链创新应用体系。

Currently, the situation of global food security is complicated and severe, and diet-derived chronic diseases are sweeping the world. Meanwhile, the views of "health-centered", "nutritional diversity", and "Food is Medicine" have become the general consensus. Using agricultural biodiversity to explore a new generation of crops that are both high-yield and nutritious has become an international trend, and Huangjing (i.e., Polygonati rhizoma) has notable characteristics and advantages. To fully unleash the potentials of Huangjing, this study systematically summarizes its history as both food and medicine, material basis of nutrition and efficacy as forest grain, as well as resource distribution and food production potentials. Huangjing does not contain starch, but rich in nutrients such as fructans with a complex structure, easy degradation, and energy, which is vital for serving life and health. Huangjing is suitable for in-forest planting or intercropping with maize and does not take up the farmland or compete for forest land. It has enormous production capacities and is crucial for ensuring food security. Huangjing is suitable for planting and processing in thousands of households, with good economic benefits, and is of great significance for achieving common prosperity. However, the Huangjing industry of China currently faces multiple challenges in terms of basic research, application technologies, as well as cultural heritage and policy support. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen research on the basic sciences and application technologies of the industry. Meanwhile, we suggest to incorporate Huangjing production into the policy and funding guarantee system for woody grain and oil, integrate Huangjing application into the healthcare and population health planning, and regard the Huangjing industry as an important carrier for rural revitalization and common prosperity, thus to establish a complete innovation and application system covering the entire industrial chain.
