Development Strategy of Smart Agriculture for 2035 in China

Abstract

Smart agriculture is an important component of high-quality agricultural development and the overall rural revitalization in China. Research on smart agriculture strategy is significant for developing a medium- and long-term scientific and technological layout and clarifying the development ideas and direction of smart agriculture in China. Against the background of rural revitalization, this study summarizes the macro demand of high-quality agricultural development for smart agricultural science and technologies; it also analyzes the strategic conception, strategic tasks, and development route of China’s smart agriculture development toward 2035. Conclusions show that developing smart agriculture helps address the low quality and efficiency and weak competitiveness of China’s agriculture sector. Furthermore, to achieve the replacements of human power with machines and human brains with computers, and promote the independent technological competitiveness of China’s agricultural sector, an industrial technology system for the smart agriculture that integrates biotechnology, information technology, and intelligent equipment should be established; and smart agriculture should be promoted in a staged manner considering different business entities and industrial needs. Specifically, China should strengthen the top-level design, promote technological research, establish a differentiated subsidy mechanism, integrate industry and village, and encourage applied talent training.
