What is smart agriculture? What are the effects of smart agriculture on agriculture

 "Smart agriculture" is a new format that combines modern science and technology in agricultural production. It can realize unmanned, automated, and intelligent management of agriculture. Specific applications include smart irrigation, smart greenhouses, and smart livestock breeding. At this stage, the high yield of crops mainly depends on the large-scale use of pesticides and fertilizers and the continuous investment of manpower. Fertilization and irrigation alone will inevitably lead to a lack of accuracy, which leads to waste of resources and environmental pollution, and the application of "smart agriculture" can solve these difficult problems.

"Smart agriculture" can effectively improve the agricultural ecological environment. "Smart agriculture" relies on soil moisture sensors for precise computer control, realizes agricultural visualized remote diagnosis operation, realizes disaster warning intelligent management, realizes the best use of water, fertilizer, light, and heat, reduces the waste of various resources, and reduces the environment Risk of contamination. The application of soilless culture technology can not only overcome soil-borne diseases and reduce the use of pesticides, but also achieve the recycling of nutrient solution and achieve zero discharge. "Smart agriculture" can also treat farmland, animal husbandry farms, aquaculture bases and other production units and the surrounding ecological environment as a whole for accurate calculations to ensure the efficient circulation of material and energy and the stability of the farmland ecosystem.

In addition, in the sowing, fertilization, and transplanting of crops, intelligent equipment can be used to improve the scientificity and accuracy of operations and increase the output rate of agricultural products. Similarly, intelligent control is also applied to environmental control, breeding, disease prevention and control in agricultural breeding, which greatly improves the survival rate and health rate of livestock.

"Smart agriculture" can completely transform the structure of the agricultural system. With the acceleration of social and economic development and urbanization, a large number of rural populations are outflowing, and the shortage of agricultural labor has become a thorny issue in the current agricultural development. It can manage multiple greenhouses and carry out large-scale fertilization and irrigation, which effectively solves the problem of increasing shortage of agricultural labor. At the same time, smart agriculture also enables employees to conduct distance learning of agricultural knowledge and skills without leaving home, and improve the scientific nature of agricultural production The e-commerce service system has promoted the rapid sale of agricultural products. These technologies have changed the previous model of agricultural production and management based solely on experience, and transformed the system structure of agricultural production.

In the context of the new era, the development of "smart agriculture" carries multiple missions entrusted by history. "Smart agriculture" is an innovative way to implement the strategy of rural revitalization and an important way to achieve poverty eradication, late-comer advantages, and catch-up goals. We must seize the current development opportunities and take "smart agriculture" as an opportunity to accelerate the development of the agricultural sector in multiple directions, multiple levels, and multiple channels, and contribute to the revitalization of the countryside.
