Introduction The rapid advancement of digital technology has catalyzed the emergence “digital villages,” presenting both new opportunities and challenges for transformation agriculture. This become a core driving force behind sustainable agricultural development. paper utilizes panel data from 30 provincial-level administrative regions mainland China (excluding Tibet) period 2011 to 2020 explore how rural development (DRD) impacts green total factor productivity (AGTFP) examines its underlying mechanisms. Methods Regarding variable measurement, study employs entropy weighting method quantify DRD uses an extended Data Envelopment Analysis-Malmquist model assess AGTFP. For research approach, constructs two-way fixed effects evaluate impact on AGTFP explores Specifically, conducts benchmark regression analysis, endogeneity tests, robustness mechanism examinations, heterogeneity tests. Results (1) significantly enhances AGTFP, conclusion that remains robust following province-year clustering standard error estimates, winsorization excluding COVID-19-affected years. (2) Mechanistic analysis indicates primarily boosts by promoting inclusive finance (DIF) facilitating integration primary, secondary, tertiary industries (IPST). (3) Heterogeneity tests show positive is more pronounced in with higher levels informatization central China. Discussion To harness DRD’s potential effectively fostering development, policymakers should concentrate DIF IPST. Additionally, government pay close attention disparities resource allocation across develop targeted strategies accordingly. Fundamentally, this aims elucidate China’s efficacy digitalization agriculture international audience. It seeks provide insights guidance formulating scientific, efficient, worldwide, thereby growth supporting revitalization.

Governments globally aim to boost productivity and enhance farmers’ livelihoods, addressing challenges like climate change, food security, labor shortages through digital technologies. However, adoption rates in developing countries remain low due uncertainties regarding expected returns obstacles stemming from subjective objective factors among farmers. This study takes China as a case examine the internal external influencing growers’ intensity of technology its impact on enhancing economic benefits, aiming provide valuable insights for promotion other regions. employs mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative quantitative methodologies, utilizing data Shandong Liaoning provinces. The findings underscore significant role knowledge, compatibility, government support, competitive pressure driving growers, with male growers those managing larger cultivation areas demonstrating higher intensity. Digital technologies can benefits by reducing input costs, increasing yields, improving quality, 30.4% increase each unit Technology promoters use these awareness, highlight practical offer agricultural socialized services promote adoption.

"Nano", which derives from the Latin word nanus and means dwarf, refers to a very small unit of measurement equal one billionth meter. Nanotechnology, deals with manipulation matter at atomic molecular level, has an application area in animal husbandry as well many fields. Nano-sized feed additives, have come forefront livestock sector recent years, become innovative used increase nutritional value feeds optimize health performance. Since these additives are nano-sized particles increased specific surface area, they can positive effect on number factors such digestibility, nutrient absorption, immune system, growth development. Minerals form nanoparticles bioavailability by passing through intestinal wall body cells faster compared larger particles. The nano level substance not only increases productivity animals, but also brings potential improve functionality molecules. Nano digestion absorption feed, allowing animals benefit more effectively. However, there several challenges associated this approach. These include for endotoxin production, reduced due interaction natural nutrients, possibility nanoparticle accumulation body, risks, ethical considerations, environmental concerns some negative effects interference nutrients that be avoided encapsulation. This article discusses studies offer benefits nutrition.

Within the transition from precision agriculture (task-specific approach) to smart farming (system-specific there is a need build and evaluate robotic systems that are part of an overall integrated system under continuous two-way connection interaction. This paper presented initial step in creating for agri-robotics, enabling communication between unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) farm management information (FMIS) general scope implementation. In this step, primary task route-planning agricultural vehicles, as prerequisite execution any field operation, was selected use-case building evaluating integration. The developed involves advanced algorithms within cloud-based FMIS, comprehensive algorithmic package compatible with vehicles utilizing Robot Operating System (ROS), communicational computational unit (CCU) interconnecting FMIS algorithms, corresponding user interface, vehicles. Its analytical module provides valuable about UGVs’ performance metrics, specifically indicators working distance, non-working overlapped area, field-traversing efficiency. demonstrated via implementation two route-execution tasks various operational configurations, features, cropping (open field, row crops, orchards). case studies showed variability traversal efficiency be 79.2% 93%, while, when implementing optimal functionality system, improvement up 9.5% results indicate can obtain better control over operations by making alterations ensure optimum performance, have complete supervision operation.
