In Lishu County, Jilin Province—one of the Chinese mainland's top grain belts—smart farming is the new buzzword. Here, tractors roar and drones buzz above fields of golden wheat, mixing the old-school vibes with an Iron Man twist 🤖🌾.
Recent data shows over 75% of farms in the Chinese mainland are now mechanized. Self-driving tractors, precision sprayers, and AI-driven drones partner with farmers to boost yields and cut waste, one algorithm at a time.
Local farmer Li Wei (29) explains that aerial drones scan crops in real time, spotting disease threats before they spread, while laser-guided tractors seed the soil with pinpoint accuracy—saving fuel, time, and hassle.
This tech leap is spotlighted in the CGTN series Path to Prosperity, which dives into the Chinese mainland's journey to modernize agriculture and ensure sustainable food supplies for its growing population.
For young investors, entrepreneurs, students, and explorers, Jilin's smart harvest story is a reminder that the future of food is being written today—where tradition meets innovation and every field has a story to share 🌱💡.
