Introduction: Eco-friendly and pollution-free green agrochemicals, including pesticides, fertilizers, and more, are vital to safeguard food security. Seeds, the "chips" of agriculture, govern the yield and quality of crops and are the basis of agricultural modernization.
The dedication to developing green agricultural chemicals and improving seed efficiency and quantity is the key to the green and sustainable development of agriculture, and among the core topics of international communities of chemical industry and agriculture.
In this new era, the industrial landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift. Artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and information technology are becoming an integral driving force for agricultural productivity, promoting the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of research and development on quality green agrochemicals and seeds. Accordingly, this has initiated a new track and a new paradigm of intelligent breeding and green agricultural chemicals, and is expected to transform agricultural science, build a more sustainable, resilient, and productive innovation system for green agrochemicals and seeds, and inject new impetus into the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
