Can technology give China’s farmers an edge against extreme weather?

This article explores how Chinese farmers are adopting advanced technologies like AI, drones, and smart irrigation systems to enhance their resilience against extreme weather, particularly in Guangdong Province where typhoons are common. The focus is on a demonstration farm managed by FN Holdings, where remote monitoring and automated systems allow for efficient crop management and disaster preparedness. Project manager Liu Lizhu explains how these technologies reduce labor demands, improve inspection capabilities, and enable proactive responses to weather threats.
