Dr.Chunjiang Zhao
welcome to AEAES
    Beginning in 1990, the project ¡®Demonstration of intelligent information technology in agriuclture¡¯, with Agricultural expert system as the key technology, was initialized and funded by the China Ministry of Science and Technology. The project aimed to improve agriculture production, rural area condition, and living level of farmers. A model for information technology service development for small farmers in different local conditions inwidespread area was explored. To date, 5 development platforms for agricultural expert system development were established by the project, and more than 300 agricultural expert systems were developed using the 5 platforms. Twenty three demonstration districts for agricultural expert systems were established in Beijing, Tianjin, Shandong, Chongqing, Xinjiang, Heinongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou, Hainan, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, and Gansu provinces of china, covering more than 800 counties. The total application area is 3 million ha., increasing grain output by 3 billion kilograms, earning 2.5 billion RMB$, and saving 700million RMB$ in input. Six million farmers benefited from the project. More than 200 outstanding application examples were accumulated. Three development model for ICT in rural area, 3 application models, and 3 extension models were produced for different area and different econimic development levels in china.
