CCTV News: In recent years, technologies such as 5G and artificial intelligence have been continuously developing, which has also brought a new round of technological changes to agricultural production. The National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference are about to be held. What do ordinary farmers and agricultural workers think and expect from these new technologies? What discussions will the deputies and deputies have on the topics of agriculture and science and technology? For the series of reports on "I care about the Two Sessions", we will go down to the field to take a look on March 2.
As the temperature warms up, spring plowing preparations are underway across the country, and farmers have started another year of busyness.
Question 1: Do you usually pay attention to new technologies in agriculture?
Wu Xiaojing, a large grain grower in Suxian District, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, said: "We have paid more attention to these things."
Yuan Jianzhuang, a large grain grower in Hua County, Anyang City, Henan Province, said: "Now farming is inseparable from technology."
Question 2: What are the difficulties in the use and promotion of new agricultural technologies? Chen Xiaowei, a large grain grower in Anren County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, said: "A better smart agricultural machine may cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. For us big grain growers, it is still very stressful to buy it." Yuan Feng, technical director of Hunan Nongfu Mechanical and Electrical Co., Ltd., said: "In the research and development, in the area of talent and financial support, it still needs a lot of help."
Sun Meili, a doctoral student in agricultural engineering, said: "Maybe farmers will feel that technology is high-end. We want technology to serve the public and the people."
This is a 5G cloud strawberry garden located in Haidian District, Beijing. In a small space, it integrates a number of advanced technologies such as "5G" communication platform, artificial intelligence robot, greenhouse intelligent control system, etc.
Xiong Ya, who was a majoring in agricultural engineering, once studied in Europe for 8 years. The deepest impression on him on the local farm was his high mechanization. Two years ago, he decided to return to China to develop agricultural robots with independent property rights in China.
This strawberry picking robot is the latest achievement of Xiongya's team. Xiongya hopes that it can be mass-produced in the future, reduce costs, and promote it to more ordinary farmers.
Whether it is farmers or agricultural workers, they are very concerned about how to make high-tech penetrate into the fields and use it for ordinary farmers. "I care about the Two Sessions", the reporter will take you to ask what the representatives and deputies said now.
Wu Jiejun, a member of the National People's Congress and chief engineer of Hunan Chenzhou Grain and Oil Machinery Co., Ltd., has been engaged in grain machinery research for more than 30 years and has been committed to the application of new technologies. He believes that the first thing we should do is to reduce the cost of obtaining smart agricultural technology.
Wu Jiejun said: "The government should introduce relevant support policies and subsidies to develop smart agricultural machinery and equipment that meets the needs of small and medium-sized farmers, and improve the domestic production rate. Establish a smart agricultural technology sharing platform, promote technology exchange, and reduce the cost of obtaining smart agricultural technology."
In the past year, Ru Zhengang, a member of the National People's Congress and a professor at the Wheat Research Center of Henan University of Science and Technology, visited and investigated rural areas in many places in Henan and exchanged and discussed with thousands of farmers. He believes that if farmers want to accept new technology, "simple and easy to use" is the key.
Ru Zhengang said: "Don't mess with the people. It should be turned into assembly results and technologies and displayed at the doorsteps of the people's homes. The people see it as real. When they see it, they want to use it. Once they use it well, everyone will strive to use it."
The "Central Document No. 1" just released this year once again listed agricultural scientific and technological innovation as a key point. At the upcoming National People's Congress and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, people also look forward to more in-depth discussions and innovative measures on science and technology to help agriculture and develop new agricultural productive forces.
