Abstract
The 20th National Congress of China underscored the imperative of prioritizing agriculture and rural development as a cornerstone of national progress. This call for accelerated rural development aligns with the broader vision of revitalizing rural areas in terms of industries, human capital, culture, ecology, and organizational structures. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee reiterated the critical importance of addressing the fundamental issues of agriculture, rural areas, and farmers while advancing the modernization of these sectors. The confluence of these policy directives reflects the conviction that a strong nation hinges on a robust agricultural sector, and conversely, a strong agricultural foundation is pivotal to the emergence of a modern, formidable state. The modernization of agriculture and rural areas is not only a key national priority but also the linchpin for achieving socialist modernization. Establishing a resilient agricultural sector forms the bedrock for constructing a robust contemporary nation. Simultaneously, the rapid ascent of the digital economy is fueling a new growth engine for China's economy. The digitization of industries and the industrialization of digital processes are spearheading transformative changes across various economic domains, driving high-quality economic development in China. This prompts the question: Can the digital economy's development act as a catalyst for the modernization of agriculture and rural areas? If so, how precisely does the digital economy advance the modernization of these vital sectors? Exploring the profound impact of the digital economy on agricultural and rural modernization holds significant practical relevance as China endeavors to solidify its status as a modern socialist nation
