Digital agriculture boosts high-quality agricultural development

     Agriculture is the key foundation of national economic development and an important guarantee for national security. Since ancient times, my country has attached great importance to agricultural development. However, in recent years, the contradiction between agricultural resources and demand has become increasingly prominent. How to use limited resources to meet the needs of more people has become an urgent problem to be solved in our country.

    As we all know, my country has only 1.8 billion mu of basic farmland, which needs to feed 1.4 billion people, which is extremely challenging in itself. With the continuous growth of population and food demand, land resources are still fixed, which further exacerbates the difficulty and requirements of agricultural development in my country.

    In this context, the industry generally believes that digital agriculture may be the key to breakthrough. So why can digital agriculture become the key to getting rid of the current agricultural development dilemma?

    farming modernization

   Modern agriculture is a modern agriculture that uses modern information technology to visualize, design and manage agricultural objects, environments and the whole process. It consists of four parts, namely agricultural Internet of Things, agricultural big data, precision agriculture and smart agriculture. It is a brand-new agriculture after the transformation and upgrading of traditional agriculture.

    Digitization is the most powerful embodiment of technology-enabled agriculture. Digitization can create special files for featured products, and can also analyze the biological evolutionary relationship behind any agricultural product, how it grows, where is the origin, and where is the origin variety. Including what kind of technology is used to grow it, digital technology can be used to enhance its brand value for the product.

    grow wisely

    Traditional agriculture requires manpower to supervise after planting, and at the same time, it is extremely dependent on the climate and environment, which can be called "man-made, and heaven-made". In the process of crop growth, digital agriculture can not only rely on various sensors installed in the smart greenhouse to understand the crop growth situation in real time, but also conduct comprehensive and accurate analysis and monitoring through the Internet of Things, AI, etc., to provide a comfortable growth environment for greenhouse crops. It can greatly improve the survival and growth rate of crops. Compared with the traditional planting method, it can avoid relying on the sky for food, greatly reduce the labor force, and increase the income for farmers.

    Sales are traceable

    In traditional agriculture, the sales and traceability of agricultural products has always been a problem, and digital agriculture can not only open up online sales channels and expand sales space, but also use blockchain and other technologies for traceability management to ensure the safety of agricultural products. It can be said that digital agriculture provides important support for the circulation of agricultural products and for consumers to buy and sell agricultural products with confidence.

    In summary, with the support of various new technologies and new equipment, digital agriculture can not only promote the transformation and upgrading of agricultural planting and growth, but also promote the  optimization and improvement of agricultural production and sales activities.

    In other words, digital agriculture brings all-round optimization and transformation to agriculture, which can free traditional agriculture from the predicament of small-scale, extensive and decentralized, and move towards modernization. In the future, with the deepening application and continuous improvement of various intelligent technologies, it is believed that the development of digital agriculture in China will be stronger.
