From Xinjiang to BRICS: China becomes model for smart farming

In the heart of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, a quiet agricultural revolution is underway. Beef cattle farming is now fully digitized. Every step of the process, from precision feeding to real-time tracking of the cattle, is powered by a smart livestock management system developed in China's far west.

This is more than just a technological leap for China's livestock sector. It's becoming a "Chinese model" for agricultural cooperation under the aegis of the BRICS. As this model gains traction across the Global South, what opportunities does it create? And how might it change the way we think about farming and working together? Step into Xinjiang with us, where digital farming is transforming agribusiness and charting a new path for BRICS nations to collaborate and grow together.
