At the Shimenwan Modern Agricultural Service Center, an AI inspection system continuously conducts automated field patrols, collecting real-time environmental data such as temperature, humidity, and light levels. Meanwhile, in Chongfu Agricultural Innovation Park, a digital phenotyping analyzer precisely captures flower traits and color information of Phalaenopsis orchids. Daiji Agriculture showcased intelligent transport and harvesting robots, simulating tomato picking and logistics with remarkable precision and efficiency.
During the 2025 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Tongxiang’s 70-square-meter exhibition area at the Yangtze River Delta Digital Rural Achievements Show drew significant attention. The display highlighted three key smart agriculture scenarios—"Intelligent Manufacturing," "Intelligent Innovation," and "Intelligent Supply Chain"—demonstrating the deep integration of digital technology and agricultural production.
According to Tongxiang’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, since the World Internet Conference made the city its permanent host, Tongxiang has seized the opportunity to implement the "Hundreds and Thousands" smart agriculture initiative, accelerating the development of new productive forces in agriculture. Currently, six projects, including intelligent bio-electronic ear tags, have been recognized as outstanding innovations by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The city has also established three future farms, 17 digital factories, and achieved a digital agriculture output value of 579 million yuan, ranking among the top in the province.
In service system development, Tongxiang has built a three-tier "Field Nanny" socialized service network, comprising city-level centers, town-level stations, and village-level service points. Over 230 million yuan in grain subsidies have been distributed, with services provided more than 100,000 times. Additionally, the "Prosperous Sheep, Wealthy People" application digitizes the entire livestock process—from breeding and quarantine to slaughter and sales—with 172,000 electronic ear tags deployed for full-chain traceability.
Tongxiang’s agricultural digital transformation follows a mature model: - **Policy Framework**: The city drafted China’s first county-level smart agriculture development plan, outlining a "1+3" structure and ten key priorities, with over 5 billion yuan invested in digital rural initiatives in three years. - **Technology Adoption**: The "Industrial Brain + Future Farm" approach drives agricultural intelligence. For example, Huateng Animal Husbandry uses smart bio-ear tags to manage a 10,000-head pig farm with just three staff, raising seedling survival rates above 98%. - **Service Integration**: The "Field Nanny" platform serves 70,000+ households under a "One Zone, Four Parks" industrial layout. - **Digital Infrastructure**: Tongxiang achieves full 5G and fiber-optic coverage, hosts ten major databases, and pilots the "Zhejiang Rural Brain" system.
"Tongxiang’s experience proves that smart agriculture thrives on policy guidance, technological innovation, and service linkages. By building a comprehensive digital ecosystem, we enhance agricultural quality and efficiency while revitalizing rural areas, offering a replicable model for county-level modernization nationwide," summarized a Tongxiang official.
