The ministry of agriculture and rural development has organized the national plan of action for smart agriculture (2024-2028) in order to make a significant contribution to the development of smart agriculture and to further the implementation of the ministry's guidelines for the strong development of smart agriculture. It is now available to all units, and kindly organize its implementation。
National action plan for smart agriculture (2024-2028)
In order to follow up on the decision-making deployment of the party centre and the state council on the development of smart agriculture, the ministry of agriculture and rural affairs ' guidance on the strong development of smart agriculture has been given further impetus to the implementation of this plan of action, with a view to accelerating the extension of smart agricultural equipment。
I. General requests
Basic thinking. Focusing on the areas of focus and key links in the development of smart agriculture, targeting the challenges facing rural production management in agriculture, organizing three major actions on smart agriculture, which are driven by policies, typical driving, technology-driven and service-driven, have produced an impressive set of work that accelerates the overall development of smart agriculture and provides a strong support for its modernization。
Work layout. (a) to accelerate the development of public service products such as the national agricultural rural data platform, the “one map” of rural agricultural land and the basic model algorithm in building the capacity of public services; in the industrial layout, efforts have been made to promote large-scale monolithic increases in the main crops, to foster intelligent farms, intelligent pastures, intelligent fishing grounds and to promote digital transformation of the entire industrial chain; at the demonstration drive, zhejiang was supported in its first test to explore and promote future applications, such as the “voodoo farm”。
Operational objectives. In accordance with the organization of work “one-year basis, three-year effectiveness, five-year step”. In 2024, three priority areas for action were launched, namely, capacity-building for public services in smart agriculture, extension of applications in the focus area of smart agriculture and demonstration of smart agriculture. By the end of 2026, the public service capacity for smart agriculture had been initially developed to explore a large number of monolithic upgrading solutions for major crops and technology models for intelligent farming (pastoralism, fishing), with an information rate of over 30 per cent for agricultural production. By the end of 2028, the capacity of public services in smart agriculture had increased significantly, information technology-enabled food-oil crops and efficiency gains in the conservation of important agricultural products had been fully demonstrated, the digital transformation of the entire industrial chain of agriculture in the pre-test areas had largely been achieved, the institutional path to the development of intelligent agriculture in the region had been largely matured, and the rate of informatization of agricultural production had reached over 32 per cent。
