Promoting "Internet + agriculture" is not "making bonsai".

The 13th five-year Plan proposes to promote agricultural standardization and informationization. At present, the vigorous development of "Internet + Agriculture" in various places has injected fresh vitality and vigorous power into agricultural informatization, and the bright prospects of intelligent agriculture and data agriculture have emerged.

The omni-directional infiltration of Internet technology into agriculture provides a great historical opportunity for our country to speed up the development of agricultural modernization. Due to historical reasons, China missed the first two industrial revolutions and missed the opportunity for the development of modernization. Since the reform and opening up, although China's modern agriculture has made some achievements in mechanization, chemistry and industrialization, it still lags behind the developed agricultural economies such as the United States, Japan and Europe for decades. Today, the booming "Internet + Agriculture" is expected to become a catalyst for agricultural informationization, providing China's agriculture with the possibility of overtaking at the bend for China's agriculture to board the historical train of the third industrial revolution characterized by the Internet and information technology, and to catch up with and surpass the modern agriculture of developed countries.

However, it must be noted that "Internet + agriculture" does not mean that the government and enterprises can "add to it" just by pulling root network lines for farmers. At present, some Internet + agricultural projects have certain government color and "bonsai" characteristics. for most farmers, Internet technology is implanted into agricultural production, circulation, sales and other links. It is faced with problems such as technological lag, lack of infrastructure, lack of talents, shortage of funds and so on. In addition, Internet + agriculture is based on the premise of agricultural informatization, mechanization and marketization. At present, the level of agricultural modernization in many areas of our country is still low, and the overall promotion difficulty will take time.

Promoting "Internet + agriculture" is not "making bonsai". Looking forward to the 13th five-year Plan, "Internet + Agriculture" still has a long way to go. In order to turn "bonsai" into "scenery", we must first do a good job in the top-level design, study and formulate the overall development plan and roadmap of China's "Internet + agriculture", clarify the strategic objectives, main tasks, implementation priorities, key technologies and safeguard measures in different stages, and solve the major problems faced in the development of "Internet + agriculture" as a whole.

Let "bonsai" become "scenery", but also do a good job of specific path planning. In the circulation link, in areas where logistics and other infrastructure is well developed, rural e-commerce can be vigorously promoted; in production and breeding, the common problems are that the cost is too high and the equipment is too expensive. Before the Internet of things technology realizes mass production, we can first popularize facility agriculture with better economic benefits, and first use it in key technologies such as soil testing and fertilization, unified defense and domination.

To make "bonsai" a "landscape", it is also necessary to solve the bottleneck of development. At present, technology and capital are the main obstacles to the expansion and strength of Internet agriculture. This requires increasing fiscal, taxation and financial support for Internet agricultural enterprises at the national level, so that "Internet + Agriculture" has people and money to do, and the Internet has become an important force in promoting agricultural modernization.
