However, as the birth rate of our country's population decreases, our country will face the problem of insufficient labor force in the agricultural field in the future, which will have a certain adverse impact on our country's economic development and political stability.

2. my country’s birth rate has repeatedly hit new lows, and rural population loss is serious

From the perspective of my country’s birth rate, the number of births in my country in 2018 was 15.23 million, with a birth rate of 10.94%. According to the National Bureau of Statistics when it released data for 2018, the birth rate in 2018 reached a new low since 1952.

Smart agriculture is the application of modern intelligent technologies such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing in the agricultural field. It is an important part of my country's smart economy. Smart agriculture can promote the refinement and efficiency of agricultural production and the sustainable development of agriculture, and can help agricultural producers establish a traceability system, which is conducive to ensuring my country's agricultural and food safety.

In the process of smart agricultural production in my country, modern equipment such as plant protection drones, agricultural unmanned vehicles, automatic picking robots, and automatic sorting robots are used to sow and pick crops, allowing the elderly and children to Crop production can also be easily completed, greatly liberating manpower.
