数字赋能·助力中国·影响世界

When it comes to Germany, the first thing that comes to mind is the word 'quality'! Secondly, they can make cars! Can drink! Can play soccer! In fact, German agriculture is very developed. The land area of Germany is 350000 square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the area of Yunnan Province in China. The population is over 82.9 million, with a population density of 231 people per square kilometer. The infrastructure required for agricultural development is relatively developed, with suitable climate and abundant water resources. Among the working population in Germany, only 2% are engaged in agriculture related occupations, and on average, one farmer can support 150 people, thanks to the German Agriculture 4.0 model.

Agriculture 4.0, a highly intensive, precise, intelligent, collaborative, and ecological modern agricultural form, solves the problems of relatively insufficient land resources and agricultural labor resources, and achieves high-yield, high-quality, and sustainable development of German agriculture.

1. Intelligent and precise production

In terms of obtaining basic information data, we have advanced remote sensing technology, geographic information systems, and application satellite systems to complete data collection, storage, analysis, and processing of land area, natural environment, etc., providing reliable technical guarantees and data support for the formulation of agricultural subsidy policies, land use planning, and precision agriculture. In terms of agricultural production management, large agricultural machinery is controlled by indoor computer automatic control systems to accurately complete multiple functions such as sowing, fertilizing, weeding, harvesting, precise feeding of livestock and poultry, and digital milking of cows.

In addition, the government has established a comprehensive agricultural information database and environmental monitoring database to provide theoretical support for the intelligence and standardization of agricultural production. Germany's Agriculture 4.0 not only reduces a large amount of manual labor, but also achieves precision in agricultural production and effectively improves agricultural productivity through real-time data collection and analysis, as well as real-time monitoring and prevention of the entire industry chain.

2. Farmers are generally professionalized and enriched

In the era of German Agriculture 4.0, farmers not only need to undergo systematic education or strict vocational training and further education, but also need to pass assessments to qualify for agricultural work. In terms of agricultural information technology training, there are various types of training that penetrate into various aspects of agricultural production and operation, including enterprise management, financial accounting, subsidy application, etc. Through education and training, German farmers have achieved specialization and professionalization, becoming versatile talents in agricultural enterprise management.

Under the management of professional farmers, the multifunctional characteristics of German agricultural production are evident. Grain farmers not only provide food and supplies, but also utilize their resources to develop industries such as bioenergy and renewable raw materials. Farmers have a wide range of economic income sources and their income is greatly guaranteed, achieving prosperity. According to statistics from the German Federal Statistical Office, the annual income of German farmers can reach 240000 yuan.

3. Mechanization of the entire agricultural production process

Behind this astonishing achievement lies the high mechanization of German agriculture. In Germany, the production, storage, harvesting, sun drying, stacking, and packaging of wheat and grains are all carried out using machinery. Germany is still the world's largest exporter of agricultural machinery, with agricultural machinery manufacturing accounting for about 10% of the world's total output value and a product export rate of 74%. At the same time, Germany also has a very complete agricultural ecological compensation system, which almost involves various aspects of intelligent agricultural production, from organic fertilizers, organic agricultural pest control, to the processing and transportation of ecological agricultural products, all of which reflect the characteristics of intelligence.

Modern production technology, information technology, and management experience have not only promoted the development of German agriculture, but also provided valuable reference experience for agriculture in various countries around the world.

The Enlightenment of German Agriculture on the Development of Agricultural Mechanization in China: Increasing the Comprehensive Construction of Agricultural Intelligence and Mechanization to Improve Agricultural Production Efficiency.

Continuously increasing investment in agricultural science and technology innovation, with a focus on supporting major research and application achievements in agricultural technology, intelligent equipment, information technology, and other areas. On March 17, 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs held a national conference on agricultural mechanization work, deploying the work of agricultural mechanization in 2022.

The meeting emphasized the need to closely follow the actual needs and accelerate the improvement of agricultural machinery and equipment level. At the same time, it is required that in 2022, agricultural mechanization work should focus on the work layout of "four stabilizations and four improvements" in agriculture and rural areas, pay close attention to providing equipment support for various types of food production, accelerate the filling of gaps in agricultural machinery and equipment, accelerate the integration of mechanization with agricultural systems, intelligent information technology, agricultural management methods, and farmland construction, solidly lay a solid foundation for agricultural machinery, and improve the research and application level of agricultural machinery and equipment.

Emphasize the promotion and training of agricultural technology, and cultivate a new type of professional farmer team.

Fully mobilize the initiative and enthusiasm of agricultural departments, farmer professional cooperatives, agricultural enterprises, and agricultural social organizations to provide strong backup support for the training of new professional farmers. At the same time, measures such as publicity, guidance, subsidies, and rewards will be taken to build a "trinity" agricultural technology diffusion platform consisting of government, enterprises, and farmers, arming new professional farmers with modernization, informatization, and intelligence.

At present, China's agricultural machinery is playing a catch-up role in the world. We believe that in the near future, China will combine its own agricultural characteristics and explore its own agricultural development path, stand out in the world's agricultural machinery technology competition, and achieve remarkable results.
