Shandong has vigorously promoted the deep integration of digital, information and intelligent technologies with agricultural and rural development, enriched application scenarios, and made traditional agriculture smarter.

Compared with the greenhouses adopting the traditional mode of harvesting, the smart agricultural greenhouse in Linyi, Shandong Province is full of scientific and technological elements. The smart agricultural greenhouse is equipped with special tracks, which, in addition to the traditional function of tracks for the traveling of ladder cars and harvesting cars, can also be used for heating and height adjustment. The special tracks greatly improve the efficiency of labor, making it possible to harvest more than 200 jin (100 kilograms) of fruits or vegetables per hour. In addition, this smart agricultural greenhouse makes full use of Internet of Things technology to realize soilless culture, precise fertilizer and water supply, and automatic control of microclimate parameters in the greenhouse, providing the optimal environment and nutrition for plant growth.

At present, Shandong has applied digital technologies and equipment such as smart terminal equipment, UAVs, intelligent irrigation, and automatic driving to nearly 100,000 sets of agricultural machinery, which has become a new "force" for agricultural production. The 2022 contribution rate of agricultural sci-tech progress in Shandong is expected to reach 66.3%, 4 percentage points higher than the national average. Shandong has built more than 800 smart agricultural application scenarios such as smart greenhouses, smart orchards and smart pastures.
