At the 2025 International Symposium on Plant Phenomics, Yazhou Bay National Laboratory, working hand - in - hand with Huawei, introduced the "Fan - Future Agricultural Intelligence Hub". This is an AI intelligence platform specifically designed for the agricultural breeding industry.
This platform includes a range of components, such as intelligent breeding agents and datasets for the seed industry. It functions by gathering agricultural data from multiple sources, creating standardized datasets, and integrating various toolkits to develop intelligent breeding agents.
It is expected that this platform will significantly transform the breeding process. Currently, the breeding process typically takes 20 generations, spanning 8 - 10 years. With the help of this platform, it is projected to be shortened to just 5 generations, which will take 3 - 4 years. In essence, this means a 50% reduction in the breeding cycle and a 30% boost in breeding efficiency.
