On June 9, At bayer's annual INNOVATIONS in Crop Science conference, Gong Danfen co-founder spoke as a featured guest.

The conference was attended by a number of heavyweight guests, including Dr. Jauhar Ali, principal researcher of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and renowned hybrid rice expert.Gong Danfen, speaking to crop science developers around the world, shares how The Company can make agricultural production smarter with the help of robotics and artificial intelligence.

The following is a recomposition of gong Danfen's speech at this meeting:

In the past few years, Jiefei has accelerated the popularization of smart agricultural technology application to protect the future dining table of tomorrow.Extreme flying agricultural UAV development has gone through 3 stages.From 2014 to 2016 was the early stage of plant protection UAVs, when the first generation of products launched by JEFI still relied on manual remote control and GPS positioning and navigation.In order to better serve small farmers and popularize technology, Jifei also established Jifei Agricultural Service Co., LTD., and set up a uav flight defense team to provide farmers with direct plant protection services.

From 2017 to 2019, JEFI agricultural UAV entered the semi-automated stage, equipped with RTK high-precision navigation system, capable of independent route planning, and added intelligent seeding function in addition to spraying function.At this time, Extreme fly began to sell agricultural drones through agricultural stores.

In the third stage, from 2020 to now, ai-driven cM-level autonomous operations have finally been realized.At this stage, Jifei also developed farmland mapping function module. Agricultural UAV can quickly obtain farmland information and automatically generate "prescription map" for pesticide application, from "uniform spraying" to "precise spraying" to improve the efficiency of pesticide use.In terms of business, Jiafei has also set up a distribution system integrating training, maintenance support and after-sales service.

However, with the acceleration of population aging and urbanization, global agricultural development will face the problem of labor shortage in the future, which will lead to the shortage of food supply, food security and other threats.

In this regard, JefI does not stop at the application of DRONES, but is committed to comprehensively improving the efficiency of all aspects of "farming, planting, management and harvesting", so that agriculture enters an era of automation, precision and efficiency, and helps solve the dilemma of "unmanned farming".Through a high-definition digital farmland map platform, precision agriculture equipment such as unmanned vehicles and agricultural machine autopilot, as well as farm management system, JEFI has established a complete set of smart agricultural solutions.

As of December 31, 2020, The smart agricultural products and technologies of Jifei Technology have served more than 9.31 million farmers and 780 million cropland per mu, covering 42 countries and regions around the world.Among them, up to 78% of users are small farmers in developing countries. Jiafei truly uses technology to empower agriculture, helping farmers reduce labor burden, reduce cost and increase efficiency, and improve their income from farming.

While using technological innovation to transform agriculture, Geofei is also committed to creating more value for economic, social and environmental development.For example, Jifei actively enables rural women to use unmanned equipment to break through the restrictions of manual labor and participate in agricultural production management on an equal basis.In order to support the national poverty alleviation program, Jifei carried out humanized grass seed seeding in The Hongyuan Grassland of Sichuan province to promote ecological restoration and increase the income of herdsmen.After the outbreak of COVID-19, Extreme Flying, together with global partners such as the UK, Vietnam, Italy and Thailand, actively supported and encouraged users to use agricultural drones to fight the epidemic and carry out epidemic prevention and elimination in key places with densely populated communities.

It is believed that in the near future, JefI will set foot in more extensive land, the intelligent level of agricultural production will be further improved, and the blueprint of "unmanned farm" will eventually become a reality.
