China's technique of growing juncao, the herbal plant used in the growing of edible mushrooms, has contributed to global poverty reduction. The technique was promoted from East China's Fujian province to other areas in the country and has even reached countries across the world. The technique has been promoted to 106 countries and regions around the world. More than 12,000 Chinese experts have been trained to promote the technique worldwide, contributing Chinese wisdom to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
