As a global agricultural giant, Bayer has made great achievements in digital agriculture. In North and South America and Europe, Bayer, with its climate company as its core, provides intelligent decision support involving the whole process of planting industry, such as sowing, fertilizing, spraying, irrigation and harvesting, through digital technology. Since its commercialization in 2015, the FieldView digital agriculture platform of Bayer climate company has been paid from more than 36 million hector of global paid area.

Today, Bayer is expanding the layout of digital agriculture in China by establishing and deepening cooperative relations with Chinese partners.

In recent years, China attaches great importance to the development of agricultural digitization, and takes digital village as an important aspect of the construction of Digital China to promote the rapid development of agricultural informatization, consolidate the foundation of digital agriculture, and promote the transformation of agricultural digitization.

The rise of digital technology can not only improve the current situation of China's agricultural mechanization, but also help to break the constraints of China's agricultural unit output value, high uncertainty, long cycle and other factors.

At present, many global agricultural giants have set up digital agriculture in China. Many Internet enterprises have entered the agricultural field in succession. Some start-ups have made progress in the underlying technology, application scenarios and surrounding intelligent equipment. Overall, China's agricultural digital development potential is huge.

Bayer believes that at present, China's agriculture is undergoing a large-scale agricultural integration period of industrial transformation and upgrading, and cross industry and cross domain connections are increasingly obvious. Bayer is looking forward to working with partners to build an ecosystem including agricultural materials, farming, agricultural finance, agricultural technology, etc., so that farming is no longer difficult, farmers have money to earn, and consumers can enjoy safe, high-quality and reasonable price food.

At present, Bayer has joined hands with a number of enterprises to carry out a series of digital agriculture projects in the Chinese market.

In September 2019, Bayer and ant blockchain reached a strategic cooperation. Bayer will provide superior technology and product resources for crop science, while ant blockchain will be responsible for providing blockchain technology, Traceability Technology, marketing, logistics, finance and other related resources, and jointly build a new agricultural "double chain" - blockchain and new ecology of value chain with Bayer.

The agricultural traceability services provided by ant blockchain include not only the tracing of agricultural materials such as seeds and pesticides, but also the key nodes of the whole industrial chain. After the chain, the production process of farmers will realize the upgrading of data and assets. At the same time, ant blockchain can also use the ecological strength of the whole Alibaba group to provide sales, credit and other comprehensive services for Bayer biotechnology downstream companies.

In addition, Bayer also cooperates with Beijing Capital Agribusiness &Food Group (BJCAG) in digital project, planning to explore planting digital guidance and farm digital management in the field crop field. The two sides intend to explore the application of digital agriculture and precision agriculture technology through the "BJCAG Bayer demonstration farm", formulate technical solutions according to local conditions, jointly organize the implementation, and introduce the latest concepts, standards, technologies and practical experience of the international industry, so as to promote the dissemination and landing of new concepts, new technologies and new models of green development, and jointly build a modern agricultural demonstration platform.
