| 1 | A proposed framework for accelerating technology trajectories in agriculture:a case study in China显示文摘Precision agriculture(PA) technologies have great potential for promoting sustainable intensification of food production, ensuring targeted delivery of agricultural inputs, and hence food security and environmental protection. The benefits of PA technologies are applicable across a broad range of agronomic, environmental and rural socio-economic contexts globally. However, farmer and land-manager adoption in low to middle income countries has typically been slower than that observed in more affluent countries. China is currently engaged in the process of agricultural modernisation to ensure food security for its 1.4 billion population and has developed a portfolio of policies designed to improve food security,while simultaneously promoting environmental protection.Particular attention has been paid to the reduction of agricultural inputs such as fertilisers and pesticides. The widespread adoption of PA technologies across the Chinese agricultural landscape is central to the success of these policies. However, socio-economic and cultural barriers, farm scale,(in particular the prevalence of smaller family farms) and demographic changes in the rural population,(for example, the movement of younger people to the cities) represent barriers to PA adoption across China. A framework for ensuring an acceptable and accelerated PA technology trajectory is proposed which combines systematic understanding of farmer and end-user priorities and preferences for technology design throughout the technology development process, and subsequent end-user requirements for implementation(including demonstration of economic and agronomic benefits, andknowledge transfer). Future research will validate the framework against qualitative and quantitative socioeconomic, cultural and agronomic indicators of successful,or otherwise, PA implementation. The results will provide the evidence upon which to develop further policies regarding how to secure sustainable food production and how best to implement PA in China, as well as practical recommendations for optimising end-user uptake. | Beth CLARK Glyn D.JONES Helen KENDALL James TAYLOR Yiying CAO Wenjing LI Chunjiang ZHAO Jing CHEN Guijun YANG Liping CHEN Zhenhong LI Rachel GAULTON Lynn J.FREWER | 2018 | Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering2018，5，4： | 0 |
| 2 | A comparative review of the state and advancement of Site-Specific Crop Management in the UK and China显示文摘Precision agriculture, and more specifically Site-Specific Crop Management(SSCM), has been implemented in some form across nearly all agricultural production systems over the past 25 years. Adoption has been greatest in developed agricultural countries. In this review article, the current situation of SSCM adoption and application is investigated from the perspective of a developed(UK) and developing(China) agricultural economy. The current state-of-the art is reviewed with an emphasis on developments in position system technology and satellite-based remote sensing. This is augmented with observations on the differences between the use of SSCM technologies and methodologies in the UK and China and discussion of the opportunities for(and limitations to)increasing SSCM adoption in developing agricultural economies. A particular emphasis is given to the role of socio-demographic factors and the application of responsible research and innovation(RRI) in translating agritechnologies into China and other developing agricultural economies. Several key research and development areas are identified that need to be addressed to facilitate the delivery of SSCM as a holistic service into areas with low precision agriculture(PA) adoption. This has implications for developed as well as developing agricultural economies. | Zhenhong LI James TAYLOR Lynn FREWER Chunjiang ZHAO Guijun YANG Zhenhai LI Zhigang LIU Rachel GAULTON Daniel WICKS Hugh MORTIMER Xiao CHENG Chaoqing YU Zhanyi SUN | 2019 | Frontiers of Agricultural Science and Engineering2019，6，2： | 0 |
