In terms of the application process, it is divided into three application units according to different situations of land administration. Aboriginal reserved land, private land and public leased land are accepted by township (town, city, district) public offices, and local counties and municipal governments are responsible for examination; university experimental forest leases are accepted and examined by the university experimental forest management office; the state-owned forest leased land of the Council of Agriculture or other central competent authorities is accepted and examined by the forest area management offices of the Forestry Bureau.

However, he added that although some of them are regarded as forestry land, they have not yet been designated, or those with considerations such as homeland security, are not yet included in the scope of application for economic land under the forest. If the land of forest farmers has not yet been designated, they need to apply for land approval before they can carry out economic activities under the forest.

At present, the first wave of open items are Linden mushroom and Auricularia auricula, golden thread, and beekeeping under the forest. Li added that the mountain pepper discussed earlier can grow naturally in the forest. at present, it is impossible to carry out industrial cultivation with a set of man-made methods or norms, so although it is the product of the forest economy and allows the public to harvest it by themselves, it is currently impossible to standardize and apply with "the relevant management operations of the forest economy".

As for how to prevent the destruction of afforestation due to economic behavior under the forest? Li said that the follow-up supervision will be carried out by the censors of the economy under the forest.
