Abstract: At present, China has been entering a new stage of building an agricultural power, and agrometeorology is facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities for development. In view of the new situation of smart agricultural production, food security, green development and climate change, it is urgent for agrometeorology to establish the quantitative relationship between climate factors and agricultural production, make scientific and rational use of climate resources, and improve the utilization rate of climate resources. The major tasks of agrometeorology are to deepen the research content, expand the research field and innovate the theory and method, and the key research directions include agrometeorological basis, climate change adaptation, greenhouse gas emission reduction, efficient utilization of agro-climatic resources, agro-microclimate regulation, and climate-smart agriculture. Agrometeorology needs to accelerate its development and stay ahead of other basic agricultural disciplines.

Key words: Agricultural power, Agrometeorology, Main tasks, Key research direction, Climate smart agriculture
