These young people use "AI" to cultivate land for agricultural research | agriculture | young people
"Are there still young people willing to farm now?" "Yes!" In February of this year, a group of young people went to Chongming Island in Shanghai to plant vegetables and also held an agricultural research competition during the summer vacation. They attempt to break through disciplinary barriers and finely regulate temperature, light, water, fertilizer, and air without soil and sunlight. They continuously design and optimize intelligent algorithms to grow lettuce with higher yield and better quality at lower energy consumption. Empowering agriculture with digital technology has become a necessary option for the high-quality development of modern agriculture.
Agricultural Research Competition Promotes Achievement Transformation
Agricultural research teams from China Agricultural University, Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Shanghai Jiaotong University and other scientific research institutes recently held the "3rd Duoduo Agricultural Research Science and Technology Competition" on Chongming Island. The competition project is container "AI" lettuce planting. After the competition, the organizers encouraged the award-winning team to further improve the achievements of agricultural scientific research and apply the technical scheme to the vast fields to help the development of agriculture and rural areas.
"We hope to promote technological exchanges, innovation and development in the agricultural field, and promote the high-quality development of China's agricultural technology." Wang Jian, senior vice president of Pinduoduo, the organizer, said that the event can attract more young agricultural innovation talents and outstanding modern agricultural enterprises to participate in scientific and technological innovation in the agricultural field, promote the transformation and application of agricultural scientific and technological achievements, and improve the quality of agricultural products and farmers' income.
Contestant Xu Dan introduced that most farmers in China still grow vegetables based on experience, but the younger generation does not rely on experience, but on data. The glass greenhouse of Xu Dan's agricultural company has automatic spraying devices, heat preservation curtains, temperature and humidity sensors, etc. The computer background directly sends tasks to which greenhouse to do which farm work at which time of day.
Wisdom cultivation of strawberry production increased by 30%
Smart agriculture originates from the Internet of Things equipment and its corresponding agricultural information system, which makes agricultural production more stable and controllable by monitoring and improving the growth environment. Farmers are increasingly applying intelligent technology in the process of production, processing and marketing.
Two years ago, the "Zhiduo Berry" team, which won the second prize in the agricultural research competition, saw the scene of "smart agriculture" and the broad market, and decided to set up Zhiduo Berry Company to empower agricultural planting with more digital technologies. "Zhiduo berry" has formed hardware, software and algorithm products such as intelligent irrigation and intelligent greenhouse environmental control, and has exported 40 sets of intelligent systems in Liaoning, Yunnan, Anhui, Inner Mongolia, Shanghai, Beijing and other places to assist strawberry and blueberry production. In Laowo Village, Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, "Zhiduo Berry" has set up a digital strawberry production system, reducing the total cost of strawberry industry in Laowo Village by about 30%, including 2500 yuan per mu of fertilizer expenditure, 1000 yuan per mu of plant protection expenditure, and 30% increase in strawberry production, helping local farmers to increase income and industrial development.
Experts said that rural revitalization requires talents and technology. For a long time, due to the one-way inflow of talents from rural areas to cities, there is a serious shortage of talents in rural areas, and some good policies, good projects, and good industries cannot be implemented. Now, batch after batch of young people who understand "AI" have devoted themselves to agricultural development, bringing unlimited possibilities for rural revitalization.
Farm work is "physical work" is "technical work"
In recent years, plant protection drones, Beidou navigation, no-tillage planters, intelligent agricultural Internet of Things... A variety of new technologies have been widely used in agricultural production in rural China. The new force operating these "new farm tools" is a new generation of young people.
Once, it was the dream of many rural youth to leave the rural life facing the loess and back to the sky. Nowadays, seeing the opportunity of agricultural production to scale, mechanization, technology, and modernization, some young people choose to go to rural areas to start a business. They applied high-tech to the fields, which not only improved agricultural productivity, but also gradually reduced production costs and further improved operating efficiency.
In the current rural areas, "college graduates go to their hometowns, capable people return to their hometowns, migrant workers return to their hometowns, and entrepreneurs enter their hometowns" is nothing new. The relevant departments are also trying to help those who return to their hometowns to solve their worries and let them stay., Can start a business. This year's Central Document No. 1 clearly stated that it is necessary to accelerate the application of big data in agricultural and rural areas and promote the development of smart agriculture. Some experts say that college students who are employed and entrepreneurial in rural areas become "new farmers" and use intelligent technology to work in agriculture, so that farm work is not only "physical work" but also "technical work".
