Technology Empowers the "Vegetable Basket": Greenhouses Paint a New Picture of Modern Agriculture Against the backdrop of comprehensively promoting the deep integration of rural revitalization and agricultural modernization, the greenhouse industry across China is entering a new stage of high-quality development. Walking into several modern agricultural parks in the North China Plain, the Northwest Gobi Desert, and the Jiangnan water towns, rows of intelligent greenhouses stand tall. The traditional agriculture that once relied on the weather is being replaced by modern facility agriculture characterized by "controllable environment, data-driven management, and precise control," and a magnificent picture of technology-driven agriculture is slowly unfolding. In the National Modern Agricultural Industrial Park of Shouguang City, Shandong Province, rows of intelligent glass greenhouses are neatly arranged. The roofs are covered with high-transparency glass, and the internal temperature and humidity are automatically adjusted. Parameters such as light, carbon dioxide concentration, and soil nutrients are uploaded to a cloud platform in real time. Growers can remotely control ventilation, irrigation, and supplemental lighting systems via their mobile phones. "In the past, growing vegetables relied on experience; now it relies on data. One greenhouse can save 30% on labor costs, while increasing yield by more than 40%," proudly introduced Wang Jianguo, a large-scale grower. The tomato greenhouses he manages use soilless cultivation and integrated water and fertilizer technology. Each plant "drinks" customized nutrient solution and "eats" precisely formulated fertilizer, resulting in stable fruit sweetness and uniform appearance, directly supplying high-end supermarkets and e-commerce platforms. A relevant official from the Shouguang Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs stated that the city has built over 100,000 mu of intelligent greenhouses, with high-standard multi-span greenhouses accounting for more than 60%.  New technologies such as the Internet of Things, AI recognition, and robot inspection are being comprehensively promoted, achieving a transformation from "knowing how to farm" to "farming intelligently."
