Greenhouse: a new engine for technology to help rural revitalization
In recent years, with the rapid development of modern agricultural technology, greenhouses have become an important force in promoting rural revitalization. Across the country, modern greenhouses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, not only bringing huge incomes to farmers, but also injecting new vitality into agricultural modernization.

In Gushan Town, Economic District, Weihai City, Shandong Province, the greenhouse of the seedling base is as warm as spring, and the strawberries and persimmons are growing happily. Through scientific management and market-oriented operations, the greenhouses in Gushan Town not only achieve efficient production, but also drive the development of the local economy. Gushan Town adopts the model of "co-prosperity, co-construction, and co-governance". It is led by the town government and technically supported by the Municipal Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Villages unite and farmers subscribe to rent, forming a southern group with the seedling industry as the core. In 2023, the seedling base sold 15 million sweet potato seedlings, 100,000 vegetable seedlings, and 50,000 kilograms of strawberries and persimmons, generating revenue of 2.575 million yuan, providing jobs for villagers and significantly increasing their income levels.

The Modern Facility Agricultural Industrial Park in Yingxia Township, Korla City, Xinjiang, demonstrates the extensive application of technology in greenhouses. Intelligent equipment such as automatic rolling shutter machines, water and fertilizer integrated intelligent control machines, and ozone physical control systems make planting easier and more efficient. Staff can remotely control the greenhouse environment through their mobile phones, realizing "farming on mobile phones". This technological planting method not only saves labor, but also greatly increases yield and economic benefits. Through the renovation project of old vegetable greenhouses, Yingxiaxiang has upgraded more than 1,800 greenhouses, promoting facility agriculture to become more efficient and distinctive, and providing strong support for rural revitalization.

Gulang County in Gansu Province continues to improve agricultural efficiency by expanding the scale of greenhouses and increasing investment in science and technology. The solar greenhouses in Xinsheng Village are neatly arranged, and the vegetables grown are growing well. Through the model of "party building guidance + company contracting + cooperative operation + farmer shares", Xinsheng Village not only built a new high-standard solar greenhouse, but also doubled the confidence of growers through the technical guidance of science and technology commissioners. A total of 15,300 solar greenhouses have been built in Gulang County, with an output of 58,000 tons and an output value of 280 million yuan, effectively promoting agricultural efficiency and farmers' income.

Dabaqi Village in Merisdaur District of Heilongjiang Province is not far behind, and is busy transplanting cantaloupe seedlings in greenhouses. Through the strategy of early seedling cultivation, early transplanting and early market launch, the melons in Dabaqi Village can be sold "fresh" in early May. The technical staff of the District Agricultural Comprehensive Service Center provide scientific and technological guidance throughout the process to ensure that the production and sales of cantaloupe are prosperous. Dabaqi Village has also achieved industrial prosperity and rural revitalization by building solar greenhouses and using the proceeds for rural construction and dividends for households that have been lifted out of poverty.

The development of greenhouses has not only changed the face of traditional agriculture, but also opened up new income-increasing channels for farmers. Greenhouses empowered by science and technology have realized intelligent and efficient planting, and promoted agriculture towards standardization, scale, and modernization. In the future, with the application and promotion of more new technologies, greenhouses will play an increasingly important role in rural revitalization, assisting the high-quality development of agriculture, bulging farmers’ pockets, and making the countryside more beautiful and prosperous. .
