The planting demonstration base is full of vitality, fruitful and hanging on the branches; the smart factory machine roars, and the golden olive oil continues to flow out; the "Oriental Olive Garden" products are dazzling, and the robot narrator is humorous and funny...
A few days ago, a reporter from Hubei Daily walked into the Hubei Yunyang Olive Planting Rural Revitalization Science and Technology Innovation Demonstration Base. Focusing on the whole industrial chain of olive oil production and processing for technology research and development, the base has successively achieved 2 inventions, 2 major scientific and technological achievements in Hubei Province, and built the country's first digital smart factory for deep processing of olive oil, which has developed into an industrial chain integrating planting, processing, sales, cultural tourism and so on.
The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Science and Technology Department said that there are 50 rural revitalization science and technology innovation demonstration bases in Hubei, with enterprises as the main body, around the needs of industrial development technology and colleges and universities to carry out industry-university-research cooperation, to create a county agricultural science and technology innovation highland, to promote rural revitalization.
Poetic writing about rural revitalization
