Abstract

With the intensified global warming trend, frequent extreme climatic events have an increasingly significant impact on China's grain production. In 2023, China's grain production was severely impacted by extreme climate, resulting in nationwide output reduction, posing a serious threat to food security. In response to the frequent occurrence of extreme weather, seven countermeasures are proposed: adjusting the national agricultural layout, conducting research and development on crop breeding, constructing agricultural water conservancy facilities, optimizing soil quality, legislating to ensure green agricultural development, promoting agricultural financial services, and establishing an agricultural disaster early warning system. By juxtaposing these measures with the objectives outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Planting Industry Development, this article provides reference for crafting strategies to response future extreme climatic events in China. The core task for China's future grain production is enhancing long-term capabilities against various disasters and advocating further attention to the challenges of climate change posed on future agricultural production, to ensure secure and stable grain production.
