Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional models of crop and livestock/poultry production in the same region suffer from mismatches leading to low resource utilization efficiency and environmental impact.

Innovation Solution

A method involving scientific analysis and planning based on climate data, soil characteristics, and water resources to determine suitable crop varieties and livestock/poultry species, design spatial layouts, and establish organic connections, with real-time monitoring and adjustment using IoT and AI for optimal resource utilization and ecological balance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional crop and livestock production models are used in the same region, then production activities can be carried out, but resource utilization efficiency is low and environmental impact increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidenvironmental impact
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines crop planting and livestock breeding into an integrated agricultural system where crops and livestock coexist in the same region. This merging allows for synergistic interactions where crop residues feed livestock and livestock manure fertilizes crops, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency and reducing environmental impact through circular metabolism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent converts potentially harmful agricultural by-products into beneficial resources. Crop residues that would otherwise be waste are converted into feed for livestock, while livestock manure that could cause pollution is converted into natural fertilizer for crops. This transformation turns harmful factors into beneficial elements, improving both resource efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Productivity

If crop and livestock production are combined in the same region, then resource utilization can be improved, but mismatches between production requirements occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource utilization efficiencyVSAvoidproduction coordination
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism that continuously monitors the production status of both crops and livestock, adjusting planting and breeding plans based on real-time data. This feedback loop ensures that production activities remain coordinated and adaptable to changing conditions, resolving mismatches between crop and livestock requirements while maintaining high resource utilization efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic adjustment capabilities to the agricultural system, allowing planting and breeding plans to be modified in response to changing resource availability, market conditions, and production needs. This dynamic approach enables the system to adapt to mismatches between crop and livestock production requirements, maintaining coordination and reliability while preserving improved resource utilization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
