Covering about 200 mu (13.3 hectares) in Beijing's Miyun District, the Mixiaonong Ruxin Farm is piloting an AI‑driven shift in agriculture. It operates 60 greenhouses and cultivates nearly 20 vegetable varieties, including tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants and bell peppers.

AI systems manage the full production chain: they monitor crop growth in real time, adjust planting schedules to changing conditions, and detect pests and diseases within milliseconds. Officials say the technology reduces pesticide use, raises yields and helps produce pollution‑free vegetables by combining human oversight with automated precision.

As China and Africa mark the Year of People‑to‑People Exchanges, this smart farm offers a practical blueprint for climate‑smart agriculture. Affordable sensors, localized data and farmer training are tangible lessons African countries can adapt to accelerate modernization and strengthen food security.
