Industrial poverty alleviation is the most direct and effective method. Zhashui County has abandoned the traditional method of planting basswood trees that require logging, developed greenhouses, and scaled up the cultivation of Auricularia auricula, making Auricularia auricula the leading industry for poverty alleviation.
