The 2022 Digital Agriculture Summit Forum was held in Changsha on October 28. The Hunan Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. inked an agreement to jointly promote the high-quality development of Hunan's digital agriculture.

As the 5G, internet, big data, AI, and block chain technologies are increasingly utilized in agriculture, Hunan Province has pushed its agriculture development towards precision, digitalized, and intelligent orientations. Hunan's agricultural authority introduced Huawei's "smart agent of agriculture, rural area, and rural residents" which relies on intelligent sensing, intelligent connectivity, and intelligent hub, to form a foundation for digital rural areas featuring integration of "cloud, internet, edge, and terminal device". Based on collaborative innovation together with the clients and partners, it aims to accelerate an in-depth integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) and agricultural and rural areas, establish an intelligent application system, and expedite agricultural modernization progress. Huawei has provided solutions to the digitalized agriculture and rural areas scenarios such as rural governance, intelligent husbandry, and fishing ban implementation.

The participants exchanged their views and shared experiences on current situations, future expectations, innovation hotspots, and updated technological solutions of digital agriculture, to boost Hunan's transformation towards digital agriculture and offer suggestions on developing new business modes of modern agriculture.
