The hope for agriculture lies in technology, and technological innovation is the core engine for the development of the vegetable industry. Hall 10 of the Vegetable Expo focuses on “Digital Agriculture”, showcasing the technological strength and innovative vitality of agriculture, becoming a benchmark for rural revitalization and agricultural modernization.
Entering the “Digital Agriculture Pavilion” in Hall 10 feels like stepping into a future farm: intelligent spraying robots cruise along tracks, precisely spraying pesticides; pollination robots connect tomato flowers through a visual recognition system; inspection robots monitor crop growth data in real-time, with an error rate as low as 0.1%.
Ma Zunjuan, the pavilion manager:
“These robots, which we collectively refer to as ‘Agricultural Guardians’, have achieved full-process automation from management to harvesting, reducing pesticide usage by 25% and labor costs by 80%.”
Qingdao visitor Lei Zihang:
“Using robots for large-scale pollination, the power of technology can make farmers less fatigued.”
Qingdao visitor Huang Yanhong:
“I came here to visit, and saw various vegetables in the sky, along with robots pollinating, which was very rewarding.”
This place is not only a showcase of technology but also an innovative platform for industrial integration. The aquaponics system achieves ecological circulation by “raising fish without changing water and growing vegetables without fertilization”; tree cultivation technology utilizes digital control to fully explore the vertical growth potential of plants; plant factories break geographical limitations, enabling stable production in extreme environments such as deserts and polar regions; over 20 soilless cultivation models revolutionize traditional planting, from substrate cultivation to aeroponics, showcasing a strong sense of technology; the 5G smart cloud farm management system allows farmers to remotely control temperature, humidity, and light through a mobile app; agricultural blockchain technology realizes full-process traceability from farm to table, ensuring food safety.
Yantai visitor Mr. Wang:
“The current agricultural development is truly advanced, and the planting models are quite innovative; I specifically came to learn about it.”
From “labor-intensive agriculture” to “digital agriculture”, from “digging for food in the soil” to “technology-driven wealth”, the Shouguang Vegetable Expo serves as a mirror reflecting the transformation of Chinese agriculture. As robots become the “new farmers” and cultivation models transcend geographical limitations, the chapter of rural revitalization is being written to new heights by technology.
