The research focused on leveraging technology to promote the high-quality development of rural economy. Based on the development demands of rural industry prosperity, integrated urban-rural development, and green agricultural transformation, it examined the current practical situation of technology empowerment in rural economy. The research revealed that in the current process of rural economic development with technology support in China, there were four major problems. These problems restricted the deepening and implementation of technological elements in the entire rural industrial chain. To address these core issues, four dimensions-infrastructure upgrading, scientific and technological innovation achievement transformation talent team building, and system improvement were proposed to optimize in a coordinated manner. This could provide practical references for county-level regions in Southwest China to promote science and technology-driven agriculture and help improve the quality and efficiency of rural economy.
