程序员、艺术家、组织者晓薇·王（Xiaowei R. Wang）说：“看到和了解农村是每个人走向更宜居的未来的一个关键部分"。她发现了有些最深思熟虑的精巧创新会发生在全球的农村地区，比如中国的养鸡场农民利用生物追踪和区块链增加供应链透明度。在这个演讲中，晓薇宣传了对农村的一个新看法：农村不该被认为是缺乏科技和数字媒体素养的地方，而是重视社群和可持续性的谦逊创新中心。

为什么农村地区有很多企业家？

Rural communities are driving surprising waves of entrepreneurship and tech creativity, often overlooked by those focused on cities. In Zhejiang, China, 70 percent of the world's pearls are produced, fueling online pearl parties in rural Indiana. From blockchain-tracked chickens to organic rice paddies governed by lottery, these places are not just catching up—they are reinventing how innovation connects to ecology and community. True progress comes from empowering people at the ground level, not just scaling up city-born solutions.
