According to the "2021 China Agricultural Production Digitalization Research Report", the current application of digital technology in China's agricultural production is in the process of transitioning from the application period to the development period. 5S technologies such as remote sensing technology, geographic information system and global positioning system are used in agriculture. The application is relatively mature. Big data and cloud computing are widely used and are in a period of rapid development; AI and the Internet of Things have entered the agricultural field and are gradually being applied in agricultural production. At present, the application of digital technology in production has achieved big data production monitoring, drone plant protection, refined farming, and yield forecasting.

U.S. Organic Agriculture Observation

 After ten days of systematic investigation and communication, I really like the organic agricultural production and sales system in the United States, which is simple and generous and can enter the ordinary households.

Standardized and efficient organic agricultural production

Production will always be the cornerstone of organic systems. We visited Mcgrathfamilyfarm, a medium-to-large organic farm where many varieties of fruits and vegetables are grown.

Farmers, the Fill family, came to California in 1867 to operate their farm and are now in the third generation. The farm covers an area of ​​more than 3,000 mu (500 acres), and the crops currently planted include strawberries, tomatoes, watermelons, horned melons, a variety of beans, large thistles, broccoli, dandelions, corn, sorghum, raspberries, etc. some poultry.

The farm is certified organic and all farming is done organically. The farm employs 20 people, of which 15 are engaged in farm work, and 5 are responsible for sales and transportation. The farm has its own nursery room, and there is an organic shop at the entrance, which mainly sells organic produce from the farm and nearby farms.
