The ‘Internet + Modern Agriculture' (Agricultural Supply-side Reform Practice)

China is a major agricultural nation. As one of its primary industries, agriculture is not only the foundation of the national economy, but also the primary provider of staple living materials for basic survival and development. Currently, a number of industries and enterprises are emerging around the ‘Internet +’ version of modern agriculture, covering planting, aquaculture, land transfer, poverty alleviation, rural e-commerce, and rural finance, and involving production, operation, management, and sales. Technologies such as the Internet, Big Data, and the Internet of Things have gradually penetrated all aspects of agriculture, sparking a major revolution in the sector.

What kind of changes will occur in agriculture in the context of the Internet? What opportunities and challenges will it face? What are its current practices and development status, and what changes will be made in the future? In response to these questions, this book considers agriculture from the perspective of ‘Internet +’ actions. It deals with specific issues such as the essence of the ‘Internet + modern agriculture,’ its emergence and development, its current status and practice, and future direction.
