With the rapid development of science and technology, in agricultural production, the popularization and application of a new generation of information technology such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc., so that modern agricultural production has entered a new era - smart agriculture. Smart agriculture refers to a modern agricultural production method that improves the efficiency of agricultural production, reduces production costs, improves resource utilization efficiency and improves the quality of agricultural products through the Internet, Internet of Things and other new generation information technologies.
The case of smart agriculture:
1. Intelligent automation equipment improves production efficiency In recent years, China's agricultural costs have risen sharply, and farmers' rising costs are difficult to bear, and high cost and low efficiency have become the most critical problems restricting agricultural production. Production automation is an effective way to improve agricultural productivity. At present, the popularization and application of various intelligent agricultural machinery equipment has gradually popularized. For example, the artificial intelligence precision seeder realizes the identification and confirmation of parameters such as crop location, planting depth, and planting time through machine learning algorithms and precise positioning, thereby automating the planting process. Intelligent automation equipment is equipped with artificial intelligence system, all-weather monitoring of crops, timely handling of various abnormal situations that may occur in the process of crop planting - such as real-time detection of diseases and pests, adjustment of plant temperature, humidity, light, etc., the application of fully automated intelligent equipment, efficiency is significantly improved. For example, on a Widener farm in North Carolina, a large number of automatic seeders and automatic pickers are planted, which can complete 5 acres (about 20,234.3 square meters) of planting tasks at a time, and the production efficiency is more than 20 times higher than that of traditional farmers.

2. Integrate IoT technology to achieve big data analysis IoT technology plays a very important role in the intelligent development of agriculture. Through the installation of various sensors, a large number of farm environment data can be collected in real time, such as temperature, humidity, soil moisture, air pollution level, etc., and after big data analysis, it can provide a more accurate and efficient decision-making basis for agricultural production. For example, automated control technology for temperature and humidity can help farmers better control the temperature and humidity of their farms and improve the efficiency of crops. At the same time, the integration of Internet of Things technology can realize soil and water conservation, consumption reduction and emission reduction, point-to-point communication between farmers and consumers, and increase the added value of products, which is of great significance for the intelligent development of rural areas.

3. Precision agricultural management to improve the quality of agricultural products Refined management is an important means to improve agricultural production efficiency and ensure the quality of agricultural products. By using modern scientific and technological means and establishing a refined management system, the whole process of agricultural production can be tracked. For example, agricultural product safety concerns have emerged in the catering industry around the world, and "blockchain" technology can be adopted to ensure food traceability and ensure consumer food safety.

In short, smart agriculture is an inevitable choice for China's agricultural transformation, upgrading and modernization. In terms of smart agricultural production, China also needs to further strengthen the connection between traditional agricultural production mode and smart agricultural production mode, fully reflect the top-level design of intelligent agricultural development, comprehensively promote the core technology of smart agriculture, develop smart agricultural production and smart agricultural service system, so as to provide a strong technical foundation and tool support for China's agriculture to achieve a new leap and breakthrough.
