Imagine farmers swapping traditional tools for drones and soil sensors . That’s the reality in China’s rural heartlands, where a Science and Technology Backyards initiative is turning villages into innovation hubs. By connecting farmers with researchers and local officials, this program is solving real-world challenges — like boosting crop yields and cutting costs — through tech-driven solutions.
In Dali City, southwest China, farmers now use AI-powered apps to monitor soil health . Researchers live in villages for months, co-designing tools tailored to local needs. 'It’s like a real-life FarmVille, but with PhDs involved,' joked one young agri-tech student during a field visit.
The results? One maize farm reported a 20% productivity jump using data-driven planting techniques. For China’s rural revitalization goals, these backyard labs are proving that smart farming isn’t just for Silicon Valley — it’s for rice paddies too .
