Location: Honggutan District, Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province, China
Scale: 346-acre (140-hectare) high-tech greenhouse specializing in premium multi-colored fruit tomatoes
Key Solution: Deployed IoT sensors, smart fertigation systems, and advanced cultivation technologies to enable data-driven precision farming, ensuring high yields, superior quality, and enhanced nutritional value.
Smart Greenhouse Automation
Real-time monitoring: Sensors tracked soil/air conditions (humidity, temperature, CO₂), light intensity, and nutrient levels.
Automated fertigation: AI-controlled water/fertilizer delivery optimized resource use.
Soilless cultivation: Hydroponic systems reduced disease risks and improved yield consistency.
End-to-End Digital Traceability
Transparent farming: Customers could virtually track the tomato growth cycle via VR/digital platforms, including:
✓ Seedling → Transplanting → Pruning/Trellising
✓ Pest control → Harvesting → Distribution
Food safety assurance: Blockchain-enabled (traceability) ensured compliance with organic/food-safety standards.
VR-Integrated Agri-Tourism & Education
Virtual picking : Interactive experiences for urban consumers and student groups.
Research hub: Served as a digital agriculture training base for modern farming techniques.
| Metric | Improvement | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Water Savings | ↓11% vs. traditional farming | Aligns with China’s water conservation policies for sustainable agriculture. |
| Fertilizer Reduction | ↓20% chemical inputs | Reduced environmental pollution while maintaining soil health. |
| Yield & Quality | High-brix, nutrient-dense tomatoes | Commands premium pricing in markets (e.g., organic/or specialty stores). |
| Consumer Trust | Full lifecycle transparency | Enhanced brand loyalty through farm-to-table traceability. |
Multi-purpose facility: Combined high-efficiency production, agri-education, and tourism revenue streams.
Tech-driven NFI: Contributed to China’s "New Farm Infrastructure" initiative with scalable smart-agri models.
"This project redefines tomato cultivation by merging precision agriculture, food transparency, and immersive tech—setting a benchmark for modern greenhouse farming."
