E-commerce talents promote agriculture, and “new farmers” strive to take root with confidence

The rise and prosperity of rural e-commerce have attracted a large number of people to return home for employment and entrepreneurship. Short video and live streaming formats have integrated into traditional agriculture, injecting new impetus into the overall employment growth of society. Joining the “live streaming room” has opened the door to new employment opportunities for new farmers. In order to unleash their maximum potential in the vast rural world, it is necessary to further enhance their compound skills and vertical domain depth skills, and help them truly become a source of vitality for agricultural industry development and rural revitalization.
