What role does agricultural information technology play in agricultural development?

Hello! The so-called agricultural information technology refers to the technology that uses information technology to collect, store, transmit, process and analyze natural, economic and social information in the process of agricultural production, management and strategic decision-making, and provides information inquiry, technical consultation, auxiliary decision-making and automatic regulation for agricultural researchers, producers, operators and managers. It is an important way to transform traditional agriculture with modern high technology.

Agricultural information technology, especially the application of remote sensing technology (RS), geographic information system (GIS) and global positioning system (GPS), has become an important means of modern agricultural resource management with its macro, real-time, low-cost, fast and high-precision information acquisition, efficient data management and spatial analysis, and is widely used in land, soil, climate, water, crop varieties, animal and plant groups and so on. China has developed red soil resources information system, land use investigation and data processing system, dynamic monitoring system of grassland yield in northern China, China agricultural germplasm resources database and national agricultural resources database.
