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 smart IoT model, the use of soil-free, water and fertilizer-free agricultural cutting-edge technology, equipped with intelligent environmental control system, nutrient solution circulation system, monitoring system, Cinema temperature and humidity control system, etc., can ensure light illuminance, temperature and humidity, PH value, water flow, EC value, etc., and avoid the impact of natural environmental pollution and diseases and insect diseases on Babaylan vegetables.
It is worth mentioning that Huacheng Farm is currently the first urban modern agricultural park in the Greater Bay Area.

At the scene, the reporter found that the space seed museum in Huacheng Farm was particularly eye-catching. This is a modern agricultural 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, 2020, 40 grams of space rice seeds landed on the moon on Chang’e-5. After a 23-day and 760,000-kilometer “moon trip”, they returned to the National Plant Aerospace Breeding Engineering Center for seeding.plant. After more than a year of cultivation, researchers have successfully transplanted “space rice” from the warm Cinema room to the outdoor field for testing. 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
