China - Behind the wall

Overview

How will the People's Republic provide food for its 1.4 billion inhabitants in the near future? China is at the forefront of agricultural research and development, such as artificial intelligence, but also seed breeding to create crops that are more resistant to drought, salt and pests. Automation can be seen everywhere, from robot cars in delivery and picking robots and agricultural drones to fully automatic cranes in the impressive ports. In addition to these high-tech developments, China also relies on traditional Shouguang agriculture.
