Abstract:The rapid development of the digital economy has deepened the marginalization of small farmers due to their disadvantageous endowments in the face of a new round of "knowledge separation" in the possession and application of information and network technologies, resulting in a "digital divide" that increasingly affects the effectiveness of stable poverty alleviation. How to use information technology to empower small farmers to bridge the "vertical digital divide" between them and the "information rich" has become an important issue to be solved. Through the field survey, The proposed classification model for smallholder farmers is used to achieve stable poverty alleviation, and adopt the model to select several cases, analyze and explore the process mechanism behind the digital inclusion of information-empowered smallholder farmers and clarify how to use information technology to empower smallholder farmers, cultivate digital farmers and build digital villages. Results show that the process of information empowerment of small farmers is divided into three stages: information awareness development, information skills acquisition, and information effectiveness realization. In the stage of information awareness development, attention should focus on awakening small farmers'' willingness and initiative to use information; in the stage of information skills acquisition, various channels should be opened up to increase the opportunities to acquire information skills; in the stage of information effectiveness realization, small-farmers should give full play to information effectiveness through extensive participation. In order to bridge the digital divide, achieve digital inclusion, and promote stable poverty alleviation and common prosperity, different strategies should be adopted for information empowerment in the three stages.
