AI pivotal to modernizing agriculture

China Daily  

JIN DING/CHINA DAILY The No 1 Central Document of the Communist Party of China Central Committee for 2025 emphasized that developing "new quality productive forces" in agriculture suitable to local conditions is pivotal to rural vitalization. AI can foster an agricultural revolution by leveraging data elements as a carrier to transform the technological dividend of urban society into a driving force for rural development, thereby promoting integrated urban-rural development. The development of intelligent agricultural machinery and equipment is a key focus of China's Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs; it is part of the ministry's strategy to advance agricultural technology. In the development of the agricultural industry chain, AI technology is poised to help optimize the supply chains, unlock the value-added potential of farm products, and empower farmers to enjoy the industry's value-added benefits. By doing so, they will help AI become the pivotal force boosting agricultural efficiency, invigorating rural areas, increasing farmers' incomes — and advancing Chinese modernization of agriculture and the countryside.
