抗战时期陕甘宁边区的玉米推广与民生改善

Maize Popularization and Livelihood Improvement in Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Area During the Anti-Japanese War

抗战时期,在恶劣的自然地理环境、严峻的社会生态环境及残酷的战争环境等多重因素的影响下,陕甘宁边区面临着严重的粮食危机。为缓解日益紧张的粮食危机,改善人民生活,边区政府通过引进、推广优良玉米品种,创新耕作栽培技术,对农民进行宣传教育等方式大力提倡玉米种植,扩大玉米的种植面积。通过推广玉米等高产作物,不仅改善了人民的生活,缓解了边区粮食危机,而且也加强了根据地建设,促进了抗日民族统一战线的巩固与扩大。

During the Anti-Japanese War,the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border area was faced with a serious food crisis under the influence of multiple factors such as bad natural geographical environment,severe social ecological environment and cruel war environment. In order to alleviate the increasingly tense food crisis and improve people’s life,the border region government introduced and popularized excellent maize varieties,innovated cultivation techniques,and promoted propaganda and education to farmers and other ways to vigorously advocate maize planting and expand the planting area of maize. Through the promotion of high-yield crops such as maize,it not only improved people’s life,alleviated the food crisis in the border area,but also strengthened the construction of base areas and promoted the consolidation and expansion of the anti-Japanese national united front.
