At present, the meteorological department has initially established a service product system for different types of disasters, focusing on the formation of technical teams around frost damage, dry and hot wind, and high temperature heat damage. The national and provincial integrated agricultural meteorological disaster risk early warning system has been gradually improved.
Do a good job in assessing the impact of natural disasters, improve the monitoring and early warning information release mechanism, and regularly release short-term and medium-to-long-term reports to ensure that policy makers, producers and consumers can rely on timely, effective, and high-frequency information and plans to make scientific decisions.
Some time ago, affected by the typhoon, Lingshan County, Qinzhou City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region suffered heavy rain and strong winds, which affected the harvesting and marketing of lychees, aquaculture, and the harvest and drying of mature early rice.
Due to the early warning and forecast of the meteorological department, local growers rushed to harvest 15,000 tons of lychees in time, avoiding economic losses of about 40 million yuan.
Today, with the rapid development of agricultural modernization, accurate weather warning and forecasting can effectively reduce the impact of natural disasters on crop production, and the traditional agricultural production method of "depending on the weather" is quietly changing.
At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a notice to further establish a more systematic and standardized risk warning business service system.
Meteorological departments at all levels are actively exploring and building defense lines before the emergence of agricultural meteorological disaster risks.
In May, the two departments jointly issued an early warning of dry-hot wind disaster risk for winter wheat.
Guo Anhong, a senior engineer at the research level of the Ecology and Agricultural Meteorological Office of the National Meteorological Center, introduced that according to the hot and dry wind disaster risk early warning service indicators, the two departments judged that there are hot and dry winds in the winter wheat areas in central and southern Hebei, southern Beijing, Tianjin, most of Shandong, and northern Henan. The disaster risk may affect the grain filling and milk maturity of wheat, and the joint suggests that measures such as foliar water spraying and foliar fertilizer spraying should be taken to reduce the impact in the above-mentioned areas.
At present, the meteorological department has initially established a service product system for different types of disasters, focusing on the formation of technical teams around frost damage, dry and hot wind, and high temperature heat damage. The national and provincial integrated agricultural meteorological disaster risk early warning system has been gradually improved.
On the basis of optimizing the national refined agro-meteorological disaster grid products by crops, disaster types and regions, the National Meteorological Center cooperates with relevant units of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs to release multi-period forecast and early warning service products such as dry and hot wind, high temperature and drought, and pests and diseases. Actively meet the demand for full-chain security services for bulk crops.
The Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau and the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs jointly released the first "Little Manchu" risk warning service product, which was widely disseminated through multiple platforms.
In response to the meteorological drought that occurred between Huaibei and Jianghuai from April to mid-June this year, the Jiangsu meteorological and agricultural and rural departments jointly issued 4 phases of drought monitoring and early warning products to "grab" more time for early response to the impact of drought.
At the same time, it should also be noted that my country's food production foundation is relatively weak, and extreme weather such as high temperature, drought, rainstorms and floods, and wind and hail frequently recurs. The resilience of food security and the ability to cope with risks and challenges such as natural disasters need to be further improved.
In this regard, Shi Zizhong, an associate researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, suggested that the monitoring and early warning of natural disasters should be strengthened first.
Improve the natural disaster monitoring and early warning system, gather professionals in agricultural economy, information technology and other fields, and integrate modern information technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things, and big data.
Speed up the network layout of natural disaster monitoring stations, strengthen the comprehensive monitoring of multiple disaster types and disaster chains, and improve the ability to identify natural disasters at an early stage.
Do a good job in assessing the impact of natural disasters, improve the monitoring and early warning information release mechanism, and regularly release short-term and medium-to-long-term reports to ensure that policy makers, producers and consumers can rely on timely, effective, and high-frequency information and plans to make scientific decisions.
Secondly, it is necessary to support the improvement of the disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities of modern grain production and operation entities, give play to the leading role of new business entities such as enterprises, cooperatives, and family farms, and improve the resilience of small farmers' grain production.
Promote the construction of a modern grain circulation and reserve system, cultivate multi-level and diversified grain reserve entities, and ensure food security in the event of major natural disasters.
Further innovate food disaster insurance and enhance the ability to transfer natural disaster risks.
Shi Zizhong said that it is necessary to consolidate and expand the international supply chain.
Further strengthen trade consultations and cooperation, regularly release information on grain import demand, stabilize demand signals in the international market, and enhance market expectations in the source countries of important grain imports.
By consolidating and expanding the international supply chain, we can ensure that imports can be used to ensure domestic supply in the event of major natural disasters.
