Comparison between traditional agriculture and black technology agriculture

"A small step in agriculture is a big step in national development". Now China's agriculture is experiencing a new round of leap-forward development, that is, from traditional agriculture to intelligent agriculture. The Global Agricultural Research Office of Agriculture and Art found that in this process, the benefits that can be brought to us are immeasurable.

First, let's take a look at what traditional agriculture is. Traditional agriculture is agriculture dominated by self-sufficient natural economy, which is developed by manual labor methods such as manpower, animal power, hand tools and ironware, relying on traditional experience accumulated from generation to generation. This is an agriculture that adopts farming methods and agricultural techniques left over from history. Traditional agriculture has the characteristics of low energy consumption and low pollution, and it still plays an important role in today's era.

However, traditional agriculture is now experiencing the impact of the Internet. Sensors, Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data not only subvert the manual labor mode of sunrise and sunset, but also break the extensive traditional production mode and turn to intensification, precision, intelligence and data. Therefore, agricultural production has obtained the industrial attribute of "industry-like". It broke the agricultural technology of traditional agriculture for many years, but this evolution process is a process of progress and optimization.

The so-called "smart agriculture" is to fully apply the achievements of modern information technology, integrate computer and network technology, Internet of Things technology, audio and video technology, 3S technology, wireless communication technology and expert wisdom knowledge, and realize the intelligent management of agricultural visual remote diagnosis, remote control and disaster early warning.

The basic concept of digital agriculture is no different from that of Industry 4.0. Through the application of big data and cloud technology, the weather, soil, precipitation, temperature, geographical location and other data of a field are uploaded to the cloud platform for processing, and then the processed data are sent to intelligent large-scale agricultural machinery to direct them to carry out fine operations.

Internet of Things technology is the aggregation and comprehensive application of various sensing technologies, modern network technologies, artificial intelligence and automation technologies. The application of Internet of Things in agriculture has gradually occupied an irreplaceable position, especially in today's mechanization, scale and data. The Internet of Things has connected the whole agricultural industrial chain and opened up various barriers in the agricultural industry, such as information barriers and technical barriers.

Therefore, if the emergence of "smart agriculture" is only the seed of progress, then what we are doing now is to cross the distance between these two ends and let agriculture embark on the road of rapid development.
