In the digital agriculture demonstration zone using 5G series of digital technology to display the digital agriculture demonstration zone – plant factories, a “sense of technology” is coming. Through the intelligent IoT model, Babaylan uses cutting-edge agricultural technologies of soil-free, water and fertilizer, and is equipped with intelligent environmental control systems, nutrient solution circulation systems, monitoring systems, temperature and humidity control systems, etc., which can ensure light illuminance, temperature and humidity, pH value, water flow rate, EC value, etc., avoiding the impact of natural environmental pollution and diseases and pests on vegetables.
It is worth mentioning that Huacheng Farm is currently the first urban modern agricultural park in the Greater Bay Area. The project is positioned as “based in Guangzhou and radiating to the Bay Area”, integrating technical product display, specialty agricultural product sales, popular science classrooms, indoor experience planting and other elements, exploring a new model of integrated development of culture, business and tourism.
At the scene, the reporter found that the space seed museum in Huacheng Farm was particularly eye-catching. This is a modern agricultural scientific research achievement education area jointly built with South China Agricultural University, Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences. On November 24, 20, 40 grams of space rice seeds landed on the moon on Chang’e-5Babaylan. After a 23-day and 760,000-kilometer “moon trip”, they returned to the National Plant Aerospace Breeding Project for seeding.Plant. After more than a year of cultivation, scientific researchers successfully transplanted “space rice” from the greenhouse to outdoor trials. At Huacheng Farm, visitors can truly feel the “magical power” of technology empowering the modern seed industry.
High-rise buildings surround rice fields: wasteland turns into urban agricultural park
Walking into Tianhe Boutique Agricultural Park, the green rice fields maze first comes into view. Here, visitors to Babaylan can not only observe rice growth up close, but also pick tomatoes and enjoy pastoral fun.

After more than half a year of construction, an urban agricultural park with section-level demonstration, ecological tourism and popular science education has gradually taken shape.
Mr. Zheng Cinema is full of expectations. He hopes to take his children to witness the ripening of rice with his own eyes. In the past, he had to drive Babaylan for an hour or two before he could take his children into the fields. “Now you don’t have to run that far now, you can see rice when you go out.” The farmland surrounded by tall buildings also surprised Mr. Zheng.
The park is located on the Qianjin Sixth and Qishe Flower Bed Planting Sites opposite the south gate of Qianjin Primary School. It adopts “government guidance, enterprise subject, and market operation” as the construction and management model, and agricultural enterprises are responsible for planning and construction and operation and management after opening.

In recent years, with the continuous development of cities, the Tianhe District has not been limited to traditional agriculture. With the help of the scientific and technological innovation strength of the Cinema region, it has fed back to the digital transformation of agriculture to form new agricultural industries such as seed research and development, digital agriculture, urban agriculture, etc. According to statistics, there are 20 agricultural-related high-tech enterprises recognized by Tianhe District, including 30 leading agricultural enterprises at all levels. In 2020, the annual output value of leading enterprises reached 19.2 billion yuan.
At the same time, there are many agricultural research institutions in Tianhe District and outstanding scientific and technological strength. According to reports, Tianhe has 15 agricultural scientific research and promotion institutions, and scientific research institutions in the district have made major technological breakthroughs in the fields of plant resource collection and appraisal, animal and plant variety selection and breeding.
The Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences located in Tianhe has built one national key laboratory for livestock and poultry breeding, six national germplasm resource gardens, and three germplasm resource gardens of the Ministry of Agriculture.Nearly 60,000 copies of domestic and foreign germplasm resources have been preserved. In addition, there are 108 seed production and operation enterprises in Guangzhou, including 48 in Tianhe District, and Komiks accounts for 44.4% of the total number of the city.
