The Intrinsic Logic,Realistic Challenges and Optimization Pathways of Digital Economy Empowering Rural Industrial Modernization
In the era of rapid development of the digital economy,new opportunities for transformation have emerged across various industries.The rural industrial system,as the fundamental economic system of China,should also seize the new opportunities of the digital age to inject new momentum into its development.Digital economy empowering the modernization of the rural industry has the characteristic of full-chain deep coverage.From the perspective of the mechanism of action,digital economy relies on emerging digital technologies such as the Internet of Things(IoT),big data,artificial intelligence(AI),and biotechnology to empower the entire agricultural industry chain,from technology research and development,variety breeding,planting and breeding to production processing,logistics,and sales.This promotes the high-quality,branding,industrialization,intensification,scaling,specialization,socialization,and greening of agricultural production,thereby aiding the modernization process of rural industries.This not only enhances agricultural production efficiency and product quality,but also promotes the integrated development of the agricultural industry,which will in turn strengthen the overall competitiveness of agricultural industries.From the perspective of development models,the majority of agricultural operators in China are still small farmers,and how to achieve an organic connection between small farmers and modern agriculture is a key issue in the modernization process of the rural industry.Thanks to the broad coverage,high efficiency,and non-competitive nature of the digital economy,by establishing an agricultural socialized service system that provides technical support and market information services,small farmers can improve production efficiency,reduce costs,and increase income;by promoting the extension,strengthening,and supplementation of the agricultural industry chain through digital technology,namely"extending the chain","strengthening the chain",and"supplementing the chain",small farmers can extend their production activities from the cultivation link to the processing and circulation of agricultural products in the secondary and tertiary industries,thereby increasing the comprehensive benefits of farmers;by improving the efficiency of the supply,production,and sales linkage and achieving a high match between order changes and production organization methods,small farmers can fully leverage their resource advantages and transform them into market competitiveness;by the digital management of land transfer,small farmers can enhance their large-scale operation level and thus improve development quality;and by using data analysis to predict the occurrence of crop diseases and pests,small farmers can make scientific agricultural production decisions and guide precise irrigation and fertilization to reduce the waste of resource.
