The sustainable Farming Programme (SFP) is a novel concept of sustainable agriculture, jointly initiated by Bayer, XAG and Rural Taobao. The project is open to global agricultural science and technology partners to participate in building pioneer farms around the world. The core value of SFP is to bring up next generation of agricultural professionals, to utilize new technologies, and to put forward-thinking into farming practice in order to provide a reliable supply of high-quality food in a sustainable way.

development for thorough understanding of agricultural
chemical compound applications and will continue to
discover more novel blockbusters for crop protection.
World Leading Drone
Application Technologies
We have world’s leading mapping and plant protection
UAS to provide precise chemical spraying service for
farmers. Achieving maximum production efficiency while
reducing water consumption and chemical residue.
Top Rated Agricultural
Scientists and Experts
We are able to provide in-depth farming management
study results and insights, by agricultural scientists and
experts of farming from around the world.
Professional Farming
Technical Support
We are able to provide all-rounded farming technical
support, including but not limited to seed selection, pest,
disease and weed scouting, guidance on pesticide usage,
product standardization and environmental protection.
Other partners will provide accordant scientific guidance
and professional services, making sure the whole process
from farm to table is well looked after.
24/7 Production Monitoring
and Transparency
We can make the food production processes traceable
and transparent with the help of continuous IoT moni-
toring systems. And conduct lab testing to make sure
production meet international standards, eliminating
food safety concerns.
Sophisticated Consumer Big Data
We will help accredited farms establish standardized
products, upgrade their branding. Meanwhile provide
them with consumer insights, strategic guidance on
production and marketing docking, and food product
supply chain services.
Complete Supply Chain Network
Integrating new retail model and supply chain
network, we will break through area limitations
of logistics and information, thus promoting
direct supply and sales of SFP products.

THE 3-YEAR SFP TARGETS
Establish strategic collaborations
with programme partners globally;
establish trial protocols with
demonstration farms around the
world; develop business model with
business partners.
Demonstration farms achieve periodic
goals; commercialize business model;
establish Standard Operation Procedure
(SOP) at demonstration farms; promote
SOP of SFP worldwide.
Demonstration farms achieve major progress; SFP starts global marketing; SOP helps significantly improve production efficiency; effectively reduce chemical consumption/waste; increase yield in a sustainable way.
Execution
-
1Testing Advanced Crop Management SolutionsWe will test a series of newly developed crop management solutions, making the production process aligned to the long-term trends of the agricultural market and new science.
-
2Establishing Standard Operation ProtocolWe will test and verify procedures of plant protection operations, in order to establish Standard Operation Protocol (SOP) for the indus-try.
-
3Building High Performance Demonstration FarmsWe will set high standards for our SFP demonstration farms, so that it will become a well-known title accredited to qualified farms.
-
4Producing Trustworthy Food SustainablyWe will produce trustworthy food for consumers with traceability and transparency, making sure the production process is low consumption and eco-friendly.
-
5Preserving Nature with Advanced TechnologiesWe will use Plant Protection UAS and Sustainable Farming tools to help farmers preserving natural resources while achieving maximum agricultural efficiency.
-
6SFP Community SupportOur partners within the community will support utmost to other partners and farmers who meet SFP standards, include but not limited to business incentives, technical support, production guidance, joint marketing and distribution, etc.
