Abstract:
Warming-characterized global climate change has seriously threatened the global food security. High-standard farmland construction, as an important measure for agriculture to adapt to climate change, has been popularized and implemented in China. In order to support the high-standard farmland production under the influence of climate warming, this study investigates the history of the international land consolidation and the high-standard farmland construction in China, reviews the latest research progress in four key areas, including the suitability assessment of high-standard farmland, the grain crop production effect of land element configuration, the supervision and management of high-standard farmland, and the benefit evaluation of high-standard farmland construction, pointing out the current shortage of research related to meteorological support for high-standard farmland production. Focusing on the requirements of ensuring grain harvest in high-standard farmland under both drought and waterlogging conditions, possessing strong disaster resilience, and maintaining a good eco-environment, the following main tasks are proposed for high-standard farmland production with meteorological support: the interaction of farmland ecosystem-climate-water resources and the water-saving irrigation in farmland; precise monitoring and simulation of meteorological disasters, and rapid attribution analysis of major grain crops; detection of eco-meteorological risk sensitive factors in farmland and their meteorological monitoring and evaluation. These tasks would promote the quality and efficiency of meteorological services for agriculture, and support the high-yield and efficiency of high-standard farmland.
