On March 26, 2024 Agricultural Climate Resources Survey and pilot zoning program was held in Beijing, which clarified the pilot work of agricultural climate resources survey and zoning at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels in 11 cities and 7 counties in 7 provinces (autonomous regions) including Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Henan, Xinjiang and Shaanxi, where are sensitive to climate change.
At present, China's agricultural climate resources, mode of production, management mode and social needs have undergone significant changes, and it is urgent to form a more modern and more refined survey zoning results.
Facing the new situation and new requirements, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), together with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, carried out pre-research and field research, and established professional teams, and set up working groups and technical groups with China Agricultural University and Beijing Technology and Business University.
The pilot work will find out the agro-climatic resources and change rules, form census data, zoning maps, technical specifications, analysis reports, system platforms and other achievements, and establish an operational agro-climatic resources survey and basic paradigm of zoning.
Based on the whole country, technical specifications for agricultural climate resources survey and agricultural production will be formulated, a corresponding application system platform will be built, and China's agricultural climate zoning map will be compiled.
Among them, national winter wheat, soybean planting climate and main meteorological disaster zoning map, as well as the national soybean quality climate zoning map will be formulated.
Focusing on local areas, climate zoning will be conducted in 7 pilot provinces for three major crops, such as wheat, corn and soybeans, and two specialty crops, such as citrus and apples.
At the same time, in 11 cities in the pilot provinces, a kilometer-scale refined agricultural climate resources survey was carried out to draw a refined agricultural climate resources distribution map at the municipal and county levels. 7 counties in the pilot provinces carried out county-level agricultural production surveys.
