Call for papers: Where will agriculture go in the future

Chinese agriculture will enter a period of accelerated transformation. At present, China's urbanization rate is rising, which has exceeded 50%, with an annually declining rural employment population. China's agricultural cost per mu (a unit of area) is rising, that is, the overall trend of land costs for rice, wheat, and corn soybeans are rising.

Modernization and intelligence

The United States and Japan are taking the road of agricultural mechanization, coupled with the chemical revolution, biotechnology revolution, and management revolution. The United States overall agricultural exports accounted for a relatively large amount of volume, with 45% of soybeans for exports and 79% of cotton for exports. In terms of the price, the United States wheat and corn prices are generally much lower, even through the American labor costs are much higher than Chinese labor costs, which is a direct result of large-scale operation. Modern agriculture is an inevitable trend.

Digital has been the buzzword of the year, and technology-led solutions have slowly but surely begun to transform all sectors of the economy. In recent years, agriculture is witnessing the penetration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the sector, including drones, weather forecasting, automated machinery, AI-enabled planting and weeding, automated irrigation and harvesting. Agricultural economics and management and agricultural information science are also becoming popular majors in universities.

Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly

India needs a second green revolution and next-generation reforms to make agriculture more climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable, according to an article on challenges in the agriculture sector by the Reserve Bank of India. Based on the observation that Indian agriculture has shown remarkable resilience during COVID-19, the article says "emerging challenges require a second green revolution along with next-generation reforms.

China has launched policies on soil and water conservation, returning farmland to forests and grasses, returning grazing to grasses, sand control, stone desertification control, and grassland ecological protection subsidies and incentives, strengthening ecosystem protection and construction, and enhancing the prevention and control of invasive alien species, which has initially curbed the trend of agricultural ecological deterioration nationwide.

The search for sustainable energy has become a central challenge for society. As industrial development and the increased use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture have had a serious impact on agricultural production, it makes sense to seek new ways - such as the use of biofertilizers - to improve crop yields and resistance to pests and diseases.

Development opportunities

In the current and future period, there are unprecedented historical opportunities to promote sustainable agricultural development. First, there is an increasingly broad consensus on sustainable agricultural development. Chinese society is highly concerned about resource security, ecological security and quality safety of agricultural products, and the concept of green development, circular development and low-carbon development has gained popularity, gathering social consensus for sustainable agricultural development. The essence of traditional agricultural technology is widely inherited, modern biotechnology, information technology, new materials and advanced equipment are rapidly changing and widely used, and technical models such as ecological agriculture and recycling agriculture are constantly integrated and innovated, which all provide a strong technical support for sustainable agricultural development.
