Introduction

In recent years, local authorities in Chaohu Lake in east China’s Anhui Province and Datong Lake in central China’s Hunan Province have been promoting green rice planting and smart farming to improve agricultural development. These initiatives focus on fertilizer reduction and efficiency improvement, prevention and control of diseases and pests, and the establishment of smart agricultural platforms.

Green Rice Planting

One of the key strategies for sustainable agricultural development is green rice planting. This approach involves reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, while adopting organic farming techniques. By implementing green rice planting, China aims to achieve the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

  1. SDG 2: Zero Hunger
  2. SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
  3. SDG 13: Climate Action
  4. SDG 15: Life on Land

Smart Farming

In addition to green rice planting, smart farming technologies are being utilized to enhance agricultural productivity and efficiency. These technologies include the use of plant protection drones, autonomous rice transplanters, and agricultural machinery. Smart farming contributes to the following SDGs:

  • SDG 2: Zero Hunger
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
  • SDG 13: Climate Action
  • SDG 15: Life on Land

Conclusion

The implementation of green rice planting and smart farming practices in China’s agricultural sector is crucial for achieving the SDGs. These initiatives not only promote sustainable food production but also contribute to environmental conservation and climate change mitigation. By prioritizing sustainable agricultural development, China is taking significant steps towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
