High-Quality Development of Chinese Traditional Medicine Industry in the Context of Carbon Neutrality
The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry is one of the crucial industries in China's economic and social landscape.The realization of the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality ("dual carbon") goals and the implementation of high-quality development represent significant tendencies.Thus,under the guidance of the "dual carbon" goals,proposing a top-level design for industrial development holds both theoretical exploration and practical guiding values.This study examines the development status of the TCM industry from the perspectives of policy,economic,social,and technological environments,and deliberates on the necessity and possibility of carbon neutrality in this industry.It also clarifies the major challenges confronted by the low-carbon and high-quality development of the TCM industry,including the prominent contradiction between resource protection and utilization,insufficient promotion of ecological planting models,ambiguity of carbon footprint paths,need for improvement in green and low-carbon industrial chains,and weak synergy with related industries.The study contends that intensifying research on the carbon footprint of the TCM industry,developing low-carbon production technologies for TCM,and exploring diverse ecological agricultural technologies for TCM are viable paths for the high-quality development of the TCM industry in the context of carbon neutrality.Seven measures should be emphasized and implemented:(1) perfecting the support policies for the TCM industry to lay a solid foundation for high-quality development;(2) promoting the low-carbon development of the TCM industry by exerting the enabling role of standards;(3) innovating the TCM for agricultural and feed use to enhance the utilization efficiency of TCM resources;(4) promoting the circular and comprehensive utilization of TCM resources by tapping the carbon reduction potential of TCM;(5) constructing the low-carbon chain of the TCM industry to improve the synergy capacity of the industrial chain;(6) establishing a multi-party participation development path for the TCM industry and aggregating the elements for high-quality development of the industry;and (7) establishing a demonstration zone for the development of the TCM industry and facilitating the internationalization of the industry.
