When promoting and applying new agricultural technologies in rural areas, there may indeed be some challenges, including users' concerns that they are considered “unprofessional” by their neighbors or peers. The following are some specific suggestions to help rural users confidently adopt new technologies while eliminating misunderstandings from the outside world.： --- ### **1. Starting from the “small-scale pilot”, accumulate successful cases** -**Practice true knowledge**: First try out new technologies on small fields or a few livestock, and prove their value with practical effects (such as increased production, labor savings, and cost savings). Success stories are more powerful than verbal persuasion. -**Record data**: Record in detail the input-output ratio and time-consuming of technical applications, and use the data to visually show the advantages to the people around you. --- ### **2. Take the initiative to learn and become a "technology communicator”** -**Participate in formal training**: Through training organized by agricultural cooperatives, government agricultural technology stations or enterprises, systematically learn technical principles and operating specifications to improve professionalism. -**Use online resources**: Pay attention to short videos and live courses in agricultural technology (such as platforms such as “Yunshang Zhinong”) to obtain knowledge at low cost and avoid being questioned due to poor information. --- ### **3. Enhance persuasion with "authoritative endorsement”** -**Joint agricultural technology promoter**: Invite local agricultural technology experts to the field for guidance, or ask them to explain the scientific nature of the technology to other villagers. The recognition of third-party authority can reduce doubts. -**Show official certification**: If the technology has government subsidies or is included in the recommended list, its “official background” can be emphasized, for example: “This is a water-saving irrigation method promoted by the county.” --- ### **4. Communicate in localized language to avoid “high above”** -**The expression of grounding**: The transformation of technical terms into local colloquialisms. For example, it is more acceptable to describe the “soil moisture sensor” as a “drought and flood reminder”. -**Comparison with traditional methods**: Explain how the new technology can improve the shortcomings of the old method (such as “compared with before, this planter will go the wrong way less”). --- ### **5. Establish a "mutual aid group” to reduce individual pressure** -**Try in a group**: Unite several neighbors who are willing to innovate to adopt technology, share risks, and form a support network. Collective action can reduce the sense of isolation of individuals. -**Sharing experiences**: Organize observation meetings regularly, take turns to share usage experiences, and create an atmosphere of “learning from each other” rather than “comparing”. --- ### **6. Respond to doubts rationally and focus on actual benefits** -**Response strategy**: If questioned, you can emphasize practical goals, such as: “Regardless of the new and old tricks, it is a good trick to make rice less sick. ” -**Avoid arguments**: Do not forcibly persuade opponents, and speak with results. At harvest time, everyone is invited to compare on the spot to resolve prejudices naturally. --- ###**Additional reminder: Combining cultural factors** -**Respect for traditional experience**: Affirm the rationality of existing farming wisdom, indicating that new technologies are “complementary” rather than “negating” traditions. For example: “The sowing time you mentioned is indeed accurate, and this new variety is more resistant to lodging. ” -**Use key opinion leaders (KOL)**: Persuade the prestigious elders or grain farmers in the village to try first, and their recognition can drive more people to follow. --- ###**Summary** The core is to gradually change the perceptions of people around you through the combination strategy of “Verifying effectiveness” + “Improving communication methods” + “building a support network”. The ultimate goal of agricultural innovation is to increase production and income. As long as the result-oriented approach is adhered to, the initial incomprehension will naturally subside as the actual results appear.
