| Abstract | ||
| China has a large population but has less arable land. With it owning about 7% of the world's cultivated land, China must feed a fifth of the world's population. Therefore, Chinese agriculture is one of the important economic hubs. This sector has developed rapidly since reforms began in rural areas in 1978. China experienced strong growth in the early 1980s, great optimism in the early 1990s, and a long period of low growth after 1995. Market reform, public investment, and technology played an important role. During this comprehensive successful process. However, this shift has also increased inequality between the agricultural and non-agricultural populations, and there are still fundamental institutional issues that need to be fully addressed. Given the relatively short development period of smart cultivation, this general review is limited because literature may be an insufficient source for understanding the recent state of smart cultivation. Since there are many key areas that are not clear about the development of smart agriculture, it is proposed to conduct future research to fill these gaps. First, the impact of information technologies is unclear, specifically, whether or how the development of information technology affects smart agriculture is unknown. Second, questions about interactions between humans and technologies await to determine answers, as information technology alone does not create value, and then there is an urgent need for both quality and quantity of research to explore and examine questions such as what is the economic return provided by agricultural intelligence and how, and what are the factors Essential to adopt and spread agricultural intelligence, and the type of institutional arrangement is the perfect choice. With regard to the unbalanced geographical distribution of smart agriculture in China, more study is needed on questions such as why and how this imbalance is occurring and how to allocate resources effectively. | ||
