The use of digital agricultural technology services can significantly increase the probability of farmers adopting new technologies (Singh et al., 2023). Pan'an can also develop tools such as WeChat applets to push customized planting and breeding suggestions and pest and disease warnings to farmers, so that technology can be accurately delivered to households. Only by improving the scientific research and promotion platform and opening up the last mile from "laboratory to field" can biotechnology truly play a role in driving industrial revitalization. 6.2 Shortage of high-level talent in agricultural biosciences The lack of talents in the field of agricultural biology is another bottleneck encountered by Pan'an in promoting biological upgrading. The shortage of high-quality talents is reflected in two aspects: first, there is a shortage of professionals who master modern biotechnology, especially in high-tech fields such as biological breeding, agricultural bioengineering, and intelligent equipment. There is almost no local talent reserve. Many key positions (such as plant molecular breeders, agricultural environmental engineers, etc.) can only rely on short-term support from external experts, and it is difficult to form a long-term mechanism. There is a talent gap in some key links in my country's agricultural science and technology field, and the lack of professional talents poses a challenge to the innovation and development of agricultural science and technology. The reality of Pan'an also reflects this problem-for example, professional and technical personnel who know how to extract active ingredients from Chinese medicinal materials or develop microbial fertilizers are almost blank in the local area. Second, rural grassroots cannot retain talents. Due to the relatively difficult working and living conditions in rural areas and low salaries, most agricultural biological talents trained by universities are unwilling to work in counties and villages, and even if they come, they are easy to lose. In recent years, Pan'an has introduced several agricultural masters to serve rural revitalization, but some of them have been civil servants or jumped back to the city after working for one or two years. At the village level, there are still few new professional farmers and science and technology demonstration households that lead farmers to apply new technologies. Some farmers have insufficient knowledge of modern agricultural science and technology and lack relevant knowledge and skills, which makes it difficult to implement good technology. Talent shortage has become a common problem that restricts the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. For high-level talents, a multi-level talent introduction and training mechanism should be established. On the one hand, make good use of policy incentives to increase the intensity of "introduction". The local government can introduce special policies to give preference to housing subsidies, children's education, and scientific research start-up funds to attract agricultural biotechnology talents to Pan'an for innovation and entrepreneurship. For example, a one-time subsidy and project funding will be given to a doctor in the agricultural field to encourage him to establish a workstation or studio locally. On the other hand, more attention should be paid to the "cultivation" link. Strengthen cooperation with agricultural universities and research institutes, establish a targeted training mechanism, select local outstanding young people to study agricultural biology-related majors in well-known universities, return to their hometowns to serve after graduation, and provide corresponding positions and benefits. At the same time, a continuing education system for agricultural technicians should be established in the county, and regular training and further studies should be organized to update the knowledge structure. For grassroots farmers and practical rural talents, the incentive mechanism and training system should be improved. We can establish grass-roots organizations such as ecological agricultural cooperatives and technical associations, absorb farmers with culture, technology and management skills to join and play a backbone role, and build a team of local "leading geese". Support excellent new professional farmers in terms of credit, land use, social security, etc. to enhance the attractiveness of the profession. Explore the establishment of a rural talent title evaluation and incentive system, such as selecting "agricultural technology experts", "field scholars" and "local experts" to improve their social status and sense of honor. In addition, through government procurement of services and other means, we can hire a team of university experts to support rural areas and form a "migrant bird" talent supplement. There is no shortcut to the talent problem.
