Abstract
There are lots of perennial species that enable multiple harvests over years from one planting in nature. These crops require no repeated tillage and can promote root accumulation, thus leaving rural landowners with time for reproduction and further production, but this model is difficult for complex knowledge and operational difficulty. Focusing on the supplementation of distinctive species in rural household agriculture, this paper sorts out existing problems and compiles a biological resource list including perennial crops and self-reproducing animals. Combined with methods such as using bamboo trellises and other climbing structures to block light for non-crops, a household-based perennial agricultural scheme of "one-time work, continuous harvest" is constructed to ease reproductive pressure and accelerate civilizational development. Studies show that perennial, self-propagating, storable crops allow people to run a food company, avoid repetitive labor, and gain stable family food dividends; some resilient perennial species can gain competitive advantages with simple artificial tools, and combining the innate advantages of plants with the acquired strengths of tools can resist various risks; A diversified species lifespan table helps people plan investment according to species longevity and their own needs, allowing some species to form a cycle where longer lifespan is accompanied by larger root tubers and higher fruit yields.
