Zhang Taolin: speed up the informationization of agricultural technology extension service

Recently, Zhang Taolin, Vice Minister of Agriculture, went to Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province to conduct a special investigation on the informatization of agricultural technology extension services. He stressed that agriculture should be inserted with the wings of science and technology, and agricultural technology extension services should be inserted with the wings of informatization, so as to further improve the efficiency of agricultural technology extension services and promote online and offline linkage services.

During the investigation, Zhang Taolin went deep into Shandong Province Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Hongchuan Town, Juancheng County, Heze City Yun Farm, Jiaxiang County, Jining City and Jiangsu Province Dagang Town, Yandu District, Yancheng City, Duotian Town, Xinghua, Taizhou City, etc. Detailed understanding of the two provinces agricultural technology extension service informatization work, and condolences to the grass-roots agricultural technology extension personnel.

Zhang Taolin pointed out that the rapid development of "Internet + agriculture" has created opportunities and conditions for the informatization of agricultural technology extension services, and it is necessary to accelerate the informatization of agricultural technology extension services. First, we should dare to innovate and explore, and do a good job in top-level design. At present, all kinds of subjects participate in the informatization of agricultural technology extension service with high enthusiasm, and many good experiences and good practices have been explored in various places. In the informatization project construction of agricultural technology extension service, it is necessary to strengthen the top-level design and system planning, not only to do a good job in the big data construction and cloud computing function development of the national agricultural science and technology service cloud platform, but also to do a good job in the docking and information transmission with the local platform ports, to realize the interconnection under the national general platform, and to guide the local authorities to do a good job in the construction of regional platforms. Second, we should strengthen resource integration and encourage joint collaboration. The national general platform shall actively attract all kinds of subjects willing to contribute to the promotion of informatization to participate in the platform construction and service in various ways, especially strengthen joint cooperation with relevant departments in the research and development of data standardization, standardized storage and transmission functions, and continuously improve and perfect the national general platform according to the actual needs of grass-roots agricultural technicians and farmers. Third, we should promote the organic integration of agricultural science and education work. In the construction of national and local platforms, it is necessary to further improve the integrity and synergy of the work, and combine the information management and service work of agricultural science and technology innovation system, industrial technology system, grass-roots agricultural technology extension system and new professional farmer cultivation project, and consider them as a whole. The standardized research and development of all kinds of science and technology, popularization and education information, data and software shall be planned in advance and systematically designed. Through platform construction, experts from scientific research institutions shall be effectively helped to actively participate in agricultural technology popularization service work, so that farmers can truly obtain accurate, timely and whole-process advisory services.
