In the arid landscapes of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a quiet revolution is transforming agriculture. Bachu County, once challenged by water scarcity, is now leading the charge with smart farming tech that’s as precise as a TikTok dance routine.
Farmers here have swapped flood irrigation for an intelligent water-fertilizer system, allowing them to control irrigation and nutrients via smartphone. Imagine watering crops like you’d order bubble tea—tap a screen, and voilà! This shift has slashed water use by up to 30% while boosting cotton and wheat yields, proving sustainability and productivity can go hand-in-hand.
One local farmer shared: "It’s like farming in the future—less waste, more growth." The tech also reduces labor costs, freeing up time for farmers to explore side hustles or just binge their favorite dramas.
