Information technology to promote agricultural development thinking and research
The concept of information
Presentation of the information, first by the Japanese sociologist Tadao Mei in January 1963 in its “On the information industry,” raised in the article. China’s concept of information studies, 80 began in the mid-20th century. As a result of information relating to various fields, is an extension of the concept of a very wide, so the academic studies from their own point of view, the expression for the information technology will also vary. It was not until 1997 held the first national work conference on information technology, the concept should have more clearly stated: “Information is the nurturing and development of intelligent tools for the new representative of the benefit of productivity and social history process. national in the national unity of planning and organization, in agriculture, industry, science and technology, national defense, as well as all aspects of social life the application of modern information technology, in-depth development and extensive use of information resources, to accelerate the process of national modernization. ” introduced in 2006’s “2006 to 2020 national development strategy of” information technology for the formulation of more explicit: “Information is the full use of information technology, development and utilization of information resources, facilitate the exchange of information and knowledge-sharing and improve the quality of economic growth to promote the economic and social development in the historical process of transition. ”
This shows that the concept of information is not a relative concept, it does not have at all times be able to set up a character. The concept of evolution from a social perspective, at present, still more goals for the future have some meaning, it is a construction and development process.
First, agricultural information on the promotion of the role of agricultural development
(A) the process of agricultural information
In this paper, the process of agricultural information into the commercialization of agricultural information, agriculture, information industry, agriculture, information industry and information-based agricultural economy in four phases, which constitute a four-stage process of development before and after the succession, although the different countries, different regions of the agricultural time due to the development of information, conditions and environmental factors such as differences in the characteristics of different shows, which are sometimes divided into four stages are not too obvious, but from the development perspective, these four stages of the existence or basic.
1, the commercialization of agricultural information
Commercialization of agricultural information refers to as the agricultural economy and the development of information technology, there is the demand of agricultural information, so that the community had to meet the people’s demand for goods and services of agricultural information process.Agricultural commodity production, including information collection, processing, transmission, storage, display, retrieval, consultation, such as production, and agricultural information system or network.
2, the industrialization of agricultural information
The industrialization of agricultural information by the piecemeal production of agricultural information and gradually form a concentrated industry, the process of agricultural information.Of the so-called information industry, agriculture, information technology is based on agriculture, according to a specific system of agricultural information collection, processing, transmission, feedback and services form an integrated, information-based to knowledge-intensive industries, It can be characterized as an agricultural society in the emerging service independent of the tertiary industry can be classified as agriculture, industry and tertiary industry alongside a branch of the information industry, which is inevitable in rural socio-economic development trends.
3, of the agricultural industry information
The industrialization of agricultural information of the formation and development not only for their own development paved the way for agricultural development within the industry has provided a new opportunity for information technology in agriculture and agricultural information industry increasingly run the system to infiltrate the various agricultural industries aspects.Industrialization of agriculture refers to the traditional information-based industries within the agricultural production, management, design all aspects of running the information industry to the agricultural system in the wider use of agricultural information technology process, that is, the big industries of agriculture within the internal information of the small industries of specialization process.
4, of the agricultural economic information
The industrialization of agricultural information and agricultural industrialization of the complementary information in hand, so that information-based agriculture has entered a phase of information-based agricultural economy.Information on the agricultural economy of agricultural information is the advanced stage of the process, the agricultural economic and social life of the progressive realization of the process of comprehensive information.Agricultural economy with the continuous advance of information technology, human society in other areas of life will also be of the progressive realization of the information.And ultimately the achievement of “information technology in rural society” - that is, the information in rural areas of the community as a whole.
In short, information-based agricultural economy in the agricultural industry and agricultural information of the information industry had the process of complementarity.Traditional agriculture industry due to the infiltration of agricultural information and the promotion of industry have been modified, and the depth direction, the realization of industrial upgrading and modernization, which the industrialization of agricultural information has provided the material basis for a more powerful and the development of space; agricultural information industry as a result of traditional agricultural support industries to the breadth of the rapid development of the larger growing industries, the traditional agricultural industry for the development of further technical and operational support system to promote the traditional agricultural industry to develop faster.The process of agricultural economic information the final of the information industry in the agricultural industry and agricultural information and promote each other to achieve.
