In Lishu County, Jilin Province—among the leading grain belts in the Chinese mainland—rows of green fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Here, the roar of modern tractors and the steady hum of drones overhead have become as familiar as the chirp of birds, marking a new chapter in agricultural productivity.
With more than 75 percent of farms now mechanized and leveraging cutting-edge technologies—from satellite-guided tractors to AI-powered crop monitors—local producers are harvesting record yields. Automated seeding, precision spraying and real-time field data are helping farmers make informed decisions and reduce waste.
This smart harvest not only boosts grain output but also reshapes rural life. By minimizing manual labor and maximizing resource efficiency, communities are seeing quicker turnaround times, higher incomes and improved sustainability.
As Lishu County’s experience shows, the fusion of traditional know-how with digital innovation could define the future of farming on the Chinese mainland—and beyond. For young entrepreneurs, policymakers and global citizens, it offers a glimpse into how technology can secure food supplies and revitalize rural economies.
