Promote the rapid development of smart agriculture

At present, China’s smart agriculture is still in its initial development stage. To promote its rapid development, measures should be taken in the following five aspects.

One is to strengthen government support. Coordinate various resources, strengthen policy support, break through key core technologies, and achieve self-reliance and self-improvement. Implement a batch of major smart agriculture projects around key agricultural fields and industries, strengthen research and application demonstration of key technologies in smart agriculture, summarize experience, and establish replicable and scalable models and experiences.

The second is to formulate relevant funding subsidy policies. In view of the social welfare, Ecoregion, highly decentralized and personalized characteristics of agriculture, it is recommended to give policy subsidies to the research and development and application subjects of smart agricultural technology products, reduce and exempt corporate taxes with smart agriculture as the core business, and reduce and exempt Internet access and data transmission and communication costs in rural areas.

The third is to strengthen the construction of technical standards and testing platforms. Relying on alliances, associations and other groups and organizations, quickly establish group standards for data, products, market access, and actively promote the construction of national and industry standards. Establish a third-party product and technology testing platform recognized by the country and industry.

Fourthly, establish an open data sharing mechanism. Agricultural data is characterized by scattered and scattered, isolated islands and forests. It is suggested that government departments should strengthen the collection and integration of agricultural data, open relevant data according to the process within a certain range, and establish a sharing mechanism. For foreign enterprises entering the domestic market, it is required that their products provide data interface standards.

Fifth, strengthen the construction of talent teams. To cultivate interdisciplinary talents in agriculture and information technology, it is recommended that educational institutions offer courses related to smart agriculture in graduate courses in universities, and encourage information professionals to enter the agricultural field to carry out relevant scientific research and application promotion. Actively carry out technical training and build a smart agricultural promotion team that understands technology, can operate and manage well.
