Development status of rural informatization in Beijing, China

The development status of rural informatization in Beijing was analyzed from three aspects, which include infrastructure building, resource platform and service system construction, and the information technology application in rural areas. The infrastructure building in Beijing had certain scale, and the network coverage in rural counties and the rate of network into villages almost reached 100%. The construction of resource platform and service systems was diversified and it provided various types of services for farmers’lives. However, the information platforms and sites were dispersive and needed to be integrated and shared. The typical '211 information platform is one system platform which integrated source and market the two things, which means the first ‘2’. It used fund which means the ‘1’, and technology which means the other ‘1’as support, and government departments and all kinds of producers could do some information activities through this platform. It had strong inquiry, analysis and synthesis functions for decision-making services through integrated and shared municipal organizations and counties' agricultural resources. On the aspect of information technology application, informatization has enhanced the technology level of Beijing urban modern agriculture and sustainable development capacity. The application of public service, e-government and e-commerce facilitated farmers’lives, improved the development of government management and rural economy. In the future, the rural informatization still needs to strengthen the integration and sharing of agriculture-related resources, reduce the public service informatization gap between rural and urban areas, and improve farmers' informatization awareness.
