Smart Agriculture
Quoting a quote from Achim Walter, "Agriculture has seen many revolutions, whether the domestication of animals and plants a few thousand years ago, the systematic use of crop rotations and other improvements in farming practice a few hundred years ago, or the "green revolution" with systematic breeding and the widespread use of man-made fertilizers and pesticides a few decades ago. We suggest that agriculture is undergoing a fourth revolution triggered by the exponentially increasing use of information and communication technology (ICT) in agriculture."
The Challenges of Today's Agriculture
- Agricultural productivity can hardly support the growing rigid human demand
- Sustainable natural resources are limited and quality is declining
- Increased climate change and natural disasters
- Ending hunger and all forms of malnutrition remains a challenge
- Food systems need to be more efficient, inclusive, and flexible
- Growing brain drain due to agricultural labor migration
- Weak, ineffective, and inadequate mechanisms to effectively respond to crises, disasters, and conflicts
- Frequent, reoccurring, and concurrent transboundary plant and animal pests and diseases
Our Solution
Lifeasible takes the lead in developing an intelligent agriculture system with information and knowledge as the core elements. Through the deep integration of modern information technology and agriculture, such as the Internet, Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence, it realizes a new agricultural production method of agricultural information perception, quantitative decision, intelligent control, precise input, and personalized service.
Modern agriculture has three major elements of science and technology, variety is the core, facilities and equipment are the support, and information technology is the means to improve the quality level.
The smart agriculture system developed by Lifeasible perfectly integrates these three major technological elements, helping farmers to reduce their workload, improve manpower shortage, and use front-end environmental sensors, monitoring systems, and equipment controllers to remotely maintain fields and monitor crop conditions, which is a milestone for the development of agriculture.
"Only by considering new technologies in conjunction with a diversity of crop and livestock systems, as well as the relevant markets and policies, can farming in the digital era become smart farming."

| Projects | Introduction |
|---|---|
| Smart agricultural production | Smart agricultural production uses big data technology, the Internet of Things, and sensing technology to realize modern agricultural production visualization, remote control, and disaster warning. At the same time, smart agricultural production can add agricultural production environmental factors into agricultural production, and ensure that the agricultural production environment will not be destroyed through calculation, and enhance the risk resistance of agriculture by intensive and large-scale production. |
| Smart agriculture management | Smart agricultural management organizes agricultural production and operation with modern technology and methods, which is of great significance to economic restructuring and economic development. Smart agricultural management can solve the problems of scattered agricultural planting and asymmetric market information and has a significant effect on improving the quality of agricultural products and optimizing the structure of the agricultural industry. |
| Smart agriculture intelligent service | The smart agricultural intelligent service system is an important way for farmers to obtain outside information, learn knowledge and skills, and eliminate information asymmetry. Production information services can provide farmers with agricultural policy information. Life information services can provide farmers with insurance, education, and other services. A logistics service platform can reduce the loss of agricultural products transportation and increase farmers' income. |
| Smart agriculture safety traceability | The smart agricultural safety traceability system can improve food quality and reduce the probability of food safety. Quality monitoring is supervised from the production end and is prior supervision. Quality certification helps to establish the brand of agricultural products, which is mid-event supervision. Quality traceability can be achieved through quality traceability can obtain the production information of agricultural products utilizing QR code, which is ex-post supervision. |
Key Advantages
- Improve crop productivity and instantly control environmental factors to achieve optimal growing conditions for plants.
- Real-time remote control via cell phone APP reduces farmers' burden, and any situation can be notified to relevant personnel in time or can be handled remotely.
- Through the cloud database server, environmental data can be collected and professionally analyzed to provide the most suitable strategy for improving crop growing conditions.
- Through the regulation of the whole system, the efficiency of agricultural production can be improved and labor costs can be reduced, thus controlling the cost of food production.
- The system works around the clock, enabling farmers to scale up planting more easily while coordinating farmers to work at the optimal time.
