Our Country Advances Agricultural Climate Resource Survey and Zoning

Our country is advancing a new round of agricultural climate resource surveys and zoning work, with the goal of gaining a clear understanding of agricultural climate conditions across different regions and providing more detailed data support for crop layout optimization, disaster prevention and loss reduction, and industrial development. This work has been piloted in multiple provinces and is gradually expanding nationwide. Taking the northward shift of the applegrowing belt in Yulin, Shaanxi as an example, the article explains that climate warming is changing the agricultural landscape. As heat and moisture conditions change, the cropgrowing boundaries in some regions are shifting northward and westward, but climate change also brings risks such as extreme weather, the spread of pests and diseases, and declining crop quality. To improve the accuracy of the survey and zoning work, relevant departments have introduced denser observation data, gridded meteorological data, topographic information, and artificial intelligence analysis, and have established unified technical specifications and verification standards. The article also notes that these achievements have been used in winter wheat disaster warnings, apple industry insurance, and local specialty industry services, reflecting the practical application of agricultural meteorological data in rural revitalization and food security.
