The smart agriculture path of post-80s village official Zhang Jianwen
On July 3, an interview group from the Joint Association of Central News Media Correspondents in Gansu visited the long-famous Lijiazhuang in Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, to experience a different kind of "smart agriculture."
In Zone No. 1 of the Lijiazhuang High-Efficiency Facility Agriculture Demonstration Park, inside solar greenhouses covering more than 400 mu, flat peaches, strawberries, cherry tomatoes and mini cucumbers stand in neat, orderly rows.
Here, watermelons are no longer the traditional round shape; as if stepping into a cartoon, square ones and heart-shaped ones of various designs appear before your eyes. Each watermelon has its own QR code; with a gentle scan, the product's "information file" is clear at a glance, including production location, seed source, water source, records of pesticide and fertilizer use, maturity date, and more.
The village technician Jin Shangke controls the greenhouse with his mobile phone. With a move of his finger, sunlight comes through, and every plant can get its share of light and balanced nutrients; whether it is temperature or humidity control, everything is under control.
This smart agricultural park, which integrates eco-agricultural sightseeing services, agricultural production and technology development, and agricultural information consulting services, and combines modern IoT and internet technology, was single-handedly built by a "post-80s" village official - Zhang Jianwen, director of the Villagers' Committee of Lijiazhuang Village, Chengguan Town, Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City.
Lijiazhuang Village is located in the southwest of Yuzhong County, with a total area of 9525 mu, 686 households and 2974 people. At the end of 2015, the per capita net income was 6700 yuan, and in 2016 there were 32 registered poor households with 120 people.
As director of the villagers' committee, the village's poverty alleviation issue is the top priority. Zhang Jianwen believes, "Leading the masses to develop and become rich cannot be just a slogan; we should do a good job in the industry and achieve sustainable development."
To this end, the "two committees" of Lijiazhuang Village seized the new opportunities of the "13th Five-Year Plan," fully implemented the county party committee's "15355" development approach, sought clear thinking and precise measures, explored the "three additions" development model, advanced the county party committee's Party building "five major projects," focused on solving the "last step" problem in the masses' development, and sounded the call for a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
The village implements the "Party building plus" model, strengthens the leading core, escorts the village's development, and advances the "industry cohesion project." It determines the "general Party branch plus cooperative" development model, develops "branch plus association" village-level development funds, and explores the "Party building plus capable people driving development" model. It continuously strengthens the "dual training and dual leading" project and deepens the pioneer leading action.
In the past three years, they developed 3 capable people who had become rich into Party members and absorbed them into the "two committees" or social cadre ranks, gathered 6 Party member capable people who had become rich and 25 technical experts in the industrial chain to serve as pioneers and role models, provided technical and information help, drove one household and pulled along a whole area, and enhanced the masses' "blood-making" function.
The Lijiazhuang High-Efficiency Facility Agriculture Demonstration Park actively explores the deep integration of IoT and the internet in agricultural production, and fully uses the four major systems of agricultural IoT: intelligent agriculture plus standardized management, agricultural social networks, and full-process traceability of agricultural products, to ensure efficient, refined and modern agricultural production in the park.
Zone No. 1 has invested more than 60 million yuan, can produce 10000 tons of high-quality vegetables annually, achieve economic benefits of 38 million yuan, drive 146 surrounding households, and provide employment for more than 200 local surplus laborers. At the same time, it can drive the development of related industries such as transportation, packaging and catering.
Zone No. 2 has completed planning and design, land transfer and other work. After completion, it is expected to drive 780 surrounding households and provide employment for more than 1000 local surplus laborers.
"At present, the strawberries, cherry tomatoes, mini cucumbers, yellow-fleshed Jingxin watermelons, eggplants, peppers, leafy vegetables and other fruit and vegetable products we grow are all on the market. We give play to the e-commerce service function and implement online order sales. In addition, a large number of tourists come into the park to pick every day, and the products are in short supply," Zhang Jianwen told reporters.
In the future, the village will build the Yuxing Ecological Farm, integrating a solar greenhouse picking area, a multi-span greenhouse fruit and vegetable area, a plateau summer vegetable cold shed area, and a mushroom picking area. It plans to develop 90 mu of ornamental ecological breeding area, create a thousand-mu flower sea, build a rural zoo, and promote more than 300 mu of parent-child experience fields, vigorously developing agriculture and distinctive rural tourism.
Integrating the big data cloud platform information of "smart agriculture," combining "internet plus agriculture," and using the "O2O plus C2B" model, with a sales model combining offline experience and online consumption, while maximizing the brand effect, it reduces intermediate circulation costs, improves the actual economic benefits of cooperatives and farmers, and realizes the overall advancement of Lijiazhuang Village.
