Abstract: 【Purpose/significance】Digital village construction is an inevitable requirement to promote the comprehensive revitalization of the countryside in the digital era, while farmers' digital literacy is the cornerstone of digital village construction, and only by accel‑ erating the cultivation of farmers’digital literacy adapted to the needs of digital village construction can we promote the comprehen‑ sive revitalization of the countryside with high-quality development【. Method/ process】Based on the "material, energy and information " three basic fundamentals of system, we have constructed an analytical framework for fostering farmers' digital literacy, and summa‑ rized the systematic dilemma of incomplete material basis "support", insufficient energy resources "drive" and inadequate information element "tracking".【Result/conclusion】"Material, energy and information " are the three basic fundamentals of system cultivating farmers' digital literacy, based on which it is proposed to promote the construction of information technology in the material basic layer, strengthen the operational foundation of the cultivation system; in the energy layer , increase the supply of resources to ensure the operational power of the cultivation system; in the information layer , optimize the evaluation and feedback mechanism to ensure the operational power of the cultivation system【. Innovation/limitation】This paper constructs a cultivation path for farmers' digital lit‑ eracy based on the three basic fundamentals of system to provide a new perspective for improving farmers' digital literacy.
