假如发生战争,外来敌对势力打击我们以稻米、小麦和玉米为主的仓储和运输系统,很可能会使我们此前一系列维护粮食安全的努力落空。战争中可能出现的化学和放射性污染,也会让千辛万苦囤积起来的粮食无法利用。那么,有没有办法能保证战争期间人们有粮食可吃?著名民族学家杨庭硕的回答是:有!那就是发展连核武器都不惧的“小作物”。 In the event of a war, external hostile forces will hit our warehousing and transportation systems, mainly rice, wheat and corn, likely to make our previous efforts to maintain food security fall through. The possible chemical and radioactive contamination during the war will also make it impossible to utilize the hard-hoarding food. So, is there any way to guarantee that people have food to eat during the war? The famous ethnologist Yang Ting-shu replied: There is! That is, the development of “small crops” without fear of nuclear weapons.
