Agricultural sensors are essential technologies for smart agriculture, which can transform non-electrical physical quantities such as environmental factors. The ecological elements inside and outside of plants and animals are converted into electrical signals for control system recognition, providing a basis for decision-making in smart agriculture. With the rapid development of smart agriculture in China, agricultural sensors have ushered in opportunities and challenges. Based on a literature review and data statistics, this paper analyzes the market prospects and market scale of agricultural sensors in China from four perspectives: field farming, facility farming, livestock and poultry farming and aquaculture. The study further predicts the demand for agricultural sensors in 2025 and 2035. The results reveal that China’s sensor market has a good development prospect. However, the paper garnered the key challenges of China’s agricultural sensor industry, including a weak technical foundation, poor enterprise research capacity, high importation of sensors and a lack of financial support. Given this, the agricultural sensor market should be comprehensively distributed in terms of policy, funding, expertise and innovative technology. In addition, this paper highlighted integrating the future development direction of China’s agricultural sensor technology with new technologies and China’s agricultural development needs.
Realizing the sustainable development of agriculture, culture and tourism industry is an important part of promoting comprehensive rural revitalization of China. Based on the investigation of Jiangxi Province, this paper analyzes the development status of agricultural, cultural and tourism industry and the main difficulties of sustainable development. It is considered that China has initially established an attractive and competitive agricultural, cultural and tourism industry system. However, the lack of characteristic development, insufficient industrial integration and brand marketing system have become the main shortcomings restricting the sustainable development of agriculture, culture and tourism industry. Facing the normalization of COVID-19 and huge market potential, the industry needs to closely follow the development goal of rural comprehensive revitalization, and take “specialization”, “integration” and “digitalization” as the path to truly achieve sustainable and rapid development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
