ABSTRACT

With the development of digital technology, the agricultural industry is gradually transitioning towards digitization and informatization, laying the foundation for improving agricultural efficiency, promoting agricultural industry upgrading, and improving the quality of agricultural products. At the current stage, the Digital Transformation (abbreviated as DT for convenience) of the agricultural industry still faces some problems, such as insufficient application capacity of digital technology, poor information sharing, data security and so on. In order to make the DT of the agricultural industry proceed smoothly, it is necessary to use the advantages of the industrial Internet to strengthen the application and promotion of digital technology, improve the ability of information sharing and collaboration, and strengthen data security. In this paper, the Internet technology would be studied to promote the agricultural DT and upgrading in Hebei Province. The effect of DT of agriculture in Hebei Province was analyzed by calculating the technological progress change index of each agricultural industry in 2015-2019. According to the statistical data, from 2015 to 2019, the average technological progress change index of forestry, plantation and aquaculture in Hebei Province was 1.0704, 1.1982 and 1.1894, respectively. These data showed that from 2015 to 2019, the technological progress change index of each agricultural industry in Hebei Province was greater than 1, indicating that the production level of these agricultural industries was improved, which also indicated that the measures taken by Hebei Province in agricultural DT were effective.
