Farming in the high-tech age
TEACHING children where the food on their plates comes from can be fun as well as educational. Tan Weiyun reports
The newly opened Jinshan High-tech Agriculture Exhibition Hall in Langxia Village may just change your perception of farming.
The 1,440-square-meter exhibition hall combines traditional agricultural knowledge and modern techniques with emerging sustainable technologies.
With six bright-colored labs in a child-friendly environment, it is more of an agriculture theme park for children to conduct interesting scientific experiments than a serious exhibition hall.
The first thing you see after entering the hall is an array of modern agricultural machines including a John Deere 535 Rotary Moco, Magnum MX275 and Case in CHX 620. The N5B is one of the highlights and is one of two seed-spraying planes used for the district's agricultural park. There is also a small 3D cinema with a 360-degree screen to simulate a flight in the seed-spraying plane.
A high-tech digital farm shows how some of Jinshan District's farmers can sit at home to irrigate or fertilize the land with the help of a computer. By logging onto the long-distance digital monitoring platform, a farmer can easily manage crops with a global positioning system, remote sensing equipment and geographical information collectors.
Visitors are welcome to plant potatoes with a few mouse clicks at the high-tech digital farm.
Visitors can also see how advanced technology is used in the process of bringing fresh milk from the farm to your home.
At Jinshan's digitalized dairy farm, each cow is equipped with a monitor that records its height, weight, milk producing volume and milking speed.
In Seeds World, there are all sorts of boxes of seeds in different shapes, sizes and colors. Everything for corn, apple, celery and many other seeds can be seen. Microscopes provide a chance to take a close look at seeds.
"The Mystery of Seeds" film is shown in a video room to help children better understand how things grow.
The journey ends at the "Grandpa Tree," an artificial tree equipped with a computer monitor. Visitors can sit on a stump and listen to stories of how seeds grow.
