A word called “scenario” appeared in national policy documents。
At the end of october 2025, the party's twenty-fourth plenary session considered the proposal of the central committee of the communist party for the formulation of a fifteenth five-year plan for the economic and social development of the country, which contained numerous references to “scenarios” for the deployment of an accelerated high-level technological self-reliance and leadership in the development of new qualitative productivity. In november 2025, the state council's office issued an implementation opinion on accelerating the development and opening of scenes to promote the large-scale application of new scenes. For the first time, a systematic arrangement was made at the national level for the development and opening of scenes, with modern agriculture as one of the priority areas for advancement。
These initiatives are not accidental, specifically in the area of agriculture, where the new scenario isScience and technology innovationThe dynamic exploration leading to the development of new quality productivity in agriculture is a timely response to the first-line changes in agricultural production: front-line breeding techniques are being validated in different ecoregions, smart technologies are being accelerated into planting, breeding, pest control and so forth, and a group of national agro-machine equipment and key spare parts have been broken down and moved to the application stage
Whether the landscape is rich or not and whether it can be scaled up is relevant to the development of science, technology and innovation in combination with industrial innovation. What progress is being made in nurturing a new landscape for our agriculture? What are the real challenges for large-scale applications? Journalists interviewed。
A good step must be taken towards modernization of agriculture
The term “scenario” originally came from the field of film and was introduced in recent years in the economic, social and industrial fields to refer to the specific context of new technologies, new products and innovative applications of new business. Through scenario-building, new technologies can be systematically validated in a real environment, thereby accelerating the move towards industrialization。
At the beginning of the fifteenth century, our agricultural development has entered an important phase of scenario-driven innovation. On the one hand, mega-markets, well-developed industrial systems and large population sizes provide the country's agriculture with the advantages of a globally rare area of application; on the other hand, the accelerated deployment of the “advisory plus agriculture” also opens up more space for the generation and application of new scenes。
According to zhao chunjiang, a member of the chinese engineering institute and director of the national centre for research and research in agricultural information engineering and technology, the chief scientist of the national system of intelligent agricultural industries, agriculture is characterized by long cycles and slow returns. It promotes the application of new technologies through a landscape-based approach. It helps to observe the interaction of technologies with different factors of production under real production conditions, reduces uncertainty in piloting and scaling up and accelerates the transformation of scientific and technological results。
In december 2025, the country's first largest artificial intelligence management model for the poultry industry, the “big smart egg chicken model s1”, was launched, promoting the intellectual upgrading of the poultry industry from “one-point application” to “full chain empowerment”. The model covers multiple types of smart applications such as farming management, disease control, market conditions and agro-business。
“traditional farming, which relies more on experience, is now reshaping industrial ecology with techniques such as artificial intelligence, big data, and provides an operational and off-site practical path for the intellectual transformation of the poultry industry.” according to the director of the hindley integrated pilot station of the national chicken industry technology system and the executive director and managing director of the wardborg information technology ltd. In beijing。
The 15th five-year programme for the national economic and social development of the people's republic of china, which was recently published, provides for the integrated development of science and technology, green agriculture, quality agriculture and branding agriculture as modern industries. As the new scientific and technological revolution advanced, frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence and biotechnology were embedded in agricultural production, operations and services, and traditional agriculture was being reshaped。
From pilot exploration to multiplication, new developments in agriculture are accelerating
At present, there are a number of new scenarios in agriculture, among which are intelligent breeding andSmart productionThe scene is particularly representative。
In the field of breeding, an intelligent breeding landscape helps to increase the efficiency of seed resources and accelerate the selection process of good varieties. Technologies such as crop surface data analysis, genomic selection, intelligent design breeding, etc. Are accelerating their application to field crop breeding; at the same time, anti-reversible crop breeding and testing, based on advanced facilities and new materials, simulates special conditions such as high temperatures, drought, salin, etc., are being carried out in an orderly manner everywhere。
The deputy director of major tasks bureau of the chinese academy of agricultural sciences, xiaofeng tani, is of the view that future growth of new scenes of intelligent breeding will show a trend towards multi-species integration and multi-species testing. For example, joint “indoor + outdoor” screening, combined with field trials, through the construction of greenhouse facilities that simulate high-temperature, dry climatic conditions, can significantly improve the productivity of breeding of resistant crops; field-testing is not limited to single species, but multi-species testing is conducted in conjunction with actual production needs。
The development of smart production scenarios is a paradigm innovation to reshape agricultural production patterns. Over the deserts of xinjiang uighur autonomous region and tan county, a row of facilities and greenhouses are paved in the sun. This agricultural landscape of gobi facilities has made agricultural production possible in the gobi desert through a combination of technologies such as facility conditions, choice of varieties, efficient use of resources and integration of equipment。
Based on this model, tsada county has now built 1,000 greenhouses, producing 70,000 tons of vegetables per year with a value of 240 million yuan, leading to steady employment for more than 2,000 people and radiation-related industrial chains for more than 5,000 people. The gobi desert, which once had difficulty carrying agricultural production, was being redefined as a modern agricultural space for sustainable use。
Innovative production methods in facilities and agriculture, as well as new forms of production such as smart farms, smart farms, plant plants, etc., are often driven by scene-driven innovations that have a primary impact on the agricultural production chain. As applications continue to deepen, landscape-building is gradually moving towards breeding, production, processing, circulation and services, exploring new paths of synergy across industry chains。
Zhao chunjiang indicated that the cultivation and opening of industry-wide chain applications were relevant in terms of efficiency gains, improving the quality and safety of agricultural products, and enhancing market capacity to stabilize supply, but were still being explored at the practical level. “atttractively, it is the most efficient to have a strong operator running through the chain, but the reality often involves multiple subjects and it is not easy to work together.” he said。
Landfalls are beginning to work, and large-scale applications need to be continuously grinded
In april 2025, the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs, the ministry of science and technology, the ministry of finance and others jointly issued an implementation opinion on accelerating the improvement of the overall effectiveness of the agricultural science, technology and innovation system, which systematically deploys the results of the accelerated transformation of agricultural science and technology. At present, the ministry of agriculture and rural development is vigorously pursuing the application of new scenarios for new products from new agricultural technologies. In the recent publication “new scenarios for new products from major new agricultural technologies in china 2025”, the “new scenarios” were first incorporated into the results dissemination system. A number of new and representative agricultural scenes, such as the “vooty farm” model explored by the engineering laboratory for smart agricultural machinery of the chinese academy of sciences, and the smart water fertilizer program of xinjianghuir agricultural group inc., were brought together in the road show。
The second-level researcher of the chinese institute of agriculture has just indicated that these new agricultural scenes already have a basis for scaling up, but that in order to truly achieve large-scale applications, continuous grinding is still needed in practice。
On the one hand, technical standardization should be promoted to allow for the replication of scenes. The pilot farm model explored by the engineering laboratory for smart agricultural machinery of the chinese academy of sciences has been applied in a number of places, including in inner mongolia, hebei, henan and anhui, through the technical system of “land-scale management + farming model + smart farmer + nine step” to achieve efficiency gains in farming, planting, running and receiving the full process。
On the other hand, it is important to insist on tailor-made measures. Zhang xiaobo, engineering laboratory for smart agricultural machinery of the chinese academy of sciences, described how different farming models were explored in different areas in the context of the construction of the “volling farm” and collected data on water, gas, soil, biological resources, etc., to create a database suitable for local conditions and to guide agricultural production practices more precisely。
At the same time, affordability is an important prerequisite for the site. In the area of water fertilizer management, the integrated application of smart water fertilizers, built by xinjiang huir agricultural group inc., has accumulated more than 6 million acres, saving farmers 2. 09 billion yuan in water fertilizers and labour costs, and helping 245,000 farmers to enter the digital transformation driveway。
“technology is so advanced that farmers cannot land if they cannot afford it.” wang dan, general manager of the hyer agricultural fertilizer enterprise。
Although the new landscape for agriculture is beginning to bear fruit, at the beginning of the scale application, there is still the real challenge of having high application costs and high trial and error costs. In response, zhao chunjiang suggested that policy support and guidance should be strengthened to share risks through the establishment of applied and innovative subsidies. He suggested that before objective technical criteria were in place, a team of experts from government departments could conduct an evaluation and analysis of the technology to provide a scientific basis for the subsidy policy. At the same time, it should lead to the orderly participation of financial capital and the establishment of a multi-stakeholder support system. (the farmer's daily newspaper's all over the press)
