AI + Live Farm Tours: Meet Your Farmers 🌱🎥
Imagine browsing tea 🍵 from 300-year-old trees in Yunnan or sampling Panamanian coffee ☕️… right from your phone. That's the power of an AI-backed source tracking system unveiled at the China International Fair for Trade in Services, powered by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
Tea farmer Jie Bulu, from the Jinuo minority in the Chinese mainland's Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, is showcasing his homegrown leaves on the "One Country, One Priority Product" platform. Visitors can catch real-time drone footage of his lush tea terraces, check leaf quality, and connect with him instantly—all in a few taps.
It's not just tea. Coffee growers from Panama are livestreaming their brewing demos, while vanilla experts from Papua New Guinea and Bangladeshi officials share surplus tropical fruits 🥭 ready for export. The goal? Fairer prices and bigger markets for farmers everywhere.
Why it matters: This AI system uses smart cameras and QR codes to trace products from farm to fork. For you, it means transparency, trust, and the chance to support communities across Asia, Africa, and the Americas—no middlemen needed.
Whether you're scrolling on your commute or chilling at a cafe, this blend of tech and tradition is reshaping global trade. 🌍✨
