As we all know, digital agriculture is a modern agricultural development model, which integrates agricultural science, Earth Science, environmental science, Information Technology, automation, digital communication and network technology.

Through the digital design, visual expression and intelligent control of Agricultural pre-production, mid-production and post-production process, digital Agriculture can achieve the goals of precise selection, precise sowing, precise fertilization, precise irrigation, dynamic monitoring and timely regulation. At present, China has made positive progress in using digital technology to promote the transformation of traditional agriculture.

According to data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and rural areas, China's agricultural digital economy accounted for 7.3 percent of the industry's added value in 2018, up 0.8 percentage points from the previous year. The method of data decision-making, production and marketing, management and service is gradually applied and popularized in many areas of China. Under the guidance of the national policy, the enthusiasm of the scientific and technological giants to set up the digital agriculture is very high. Back in June 2018, Alibaba Cloud pioneered the ET agricultural brain, which began to bring AI solutions to agriculture. Over the next six months, both JD.com and tencent announced their AI farming plans. In 2019, digital agriculture has become the focus of the layout of some scientific and technological enterprises.

November 15,2019 Digital Agriculture Rural Development Forum held in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. The forum stressed that we should vigorously promote the transformation of agriculture digital, focus on opening up the closed-loop of data collection, analysis and application of the entire agricultural industry chain, and focus on improving the level of intelligent agricultural production and management network. Participants discussed topics such as agricultural science and technology and crop cultivation, and digital farming has become a high-frequency word.

Taken together, there are four main components of digital agriculture, namely, the Internet of things for agriculture, big data for agriculture, precision agriculture and smart agriculture. Water and fertilizer integration, agricultural products can be traced back, intelligent farm, plant protection UAV, factory farming, etc. , has been regarded by researchers as the development of digital agriculture several major directions. As a great exploration and practice of digital agriculture, digital farm is gradually letting farmers get rid of the traditional farming mode of looking at the sky and the earth, and using the cutting-edge science and technology to plant and cultivate crops scientifically.

 When will the crops be irrigated? What's missing? What are the pests and diseases? With digital farming, farmers no longer rely on traditional experience, but through digital technology to achieve high precision, so that the quality of agricultural products further improved. In a demonstration rice production base in China, electronic posts are placed in every rice field to collect information such as light, wind and moisture to guide farmers to grow rice scientifically. Specifically, these electronic sensors collect wind, light and moisture information from the fields in real time, allowing farmers to receive data from their plots as long as they have a client on their mobile phones.

In fact, from intelligent animal husbandry to agricultural finance, from Agricultural Internet of things to Saas Service Platform, from Satellite Remote Sensing Data Monitoring to UAV anti-plant protection, new technology, new products and so on are being promoted and applied in agricultural field. With the popularization and application of Remote Sensing Monitoring, cloud computing, Internet of things, 5G and other technologies, a three-dimensional integrated monitoring system for agricultural resources will be constructed The country's capacity for macro-monitoring, early warning, service and macro-decision-making will be continuously enhanced. At that time, agricultural disaster warning, agricultural pest control, new crop cultivation and other work will be a new step, and more results.

There is no doubt that the future of digital agriculture is attractive. At the same time, because of the variety and variety of agricultural production, the production process is complex and long, many uncontrollable factors and many variables, it takes some time for digital agriculture to break through from single point to overall progress. Faced with the new trend of digital and intelligent transformation and upgrading of agriculture, the suppliers of agricultural products should actively understand the application status of various frontier technologies in the agricultural field, and strive to give full play to the advantages of technology integration and application Promoting the healthy and sustainable development of agriculture.
