Investigation of evaluation index system for agricultural informatization level in China

Under the background of implementing the rural revitalization strategy to promote the development of digital agriculture and digital village, the evaluation of agricultural informatization level is a hot issue in domestic agriculture. At present, the evaluation index system of agricultural informatization level determined by different scholars in China is quite different. This study analyzes and discusses the evaluation indexes of China's agricultural informatization level, and discusses the characteristics and regulation of China's agricultural informatization level evaluation indexes. The research finds that the indexes of the agricultural informatization level have obvious characteristics of the times. The indexes of the agricultural informatization level are too many, too extensive, and have the synonymous features when names are different. Some evaluation indexes have poor measurability, and the connotation is too general and broad. Some indexes are outdated, and there are also new indexes reflecting the application of new technologies not considered. Therefore, in the process of implementing the rural revitalization strategy, it is of great significance to formulate agricultural informatization level evaluation indexes that are unified, standardized, scientific and reasonable, and advancing with the times for the evaluation, monitoring and early warning of agricultural informatization level. On the basis of comprehensive predecessors' research, considering agricultural informatization resources and informatization technology applications, agricultural informatization infrastructure, agricultural informatization industry, agricultural informatization human resources, and agricultural informatization technology policy and environment,a set of relatively scientific and reasonable evaluation index system of agricultural informatization level is constructed, and the analytic hierarchy process is used to determine the weight of each index, which provide reference for the evaluation of agricultural informatization level. © 2019, Editorial Department of the Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering.
