Problems of adapting available methods, forms, and approaches to agroclimatic support of the economy under climate change conditions are under consideration. Development and operation of an automated reference-information system (ARIS) of agricultural resources, assessment of the environmental bioclimatic potential, and preparation of agroclimatic Atlases (with a reference to hazardous agroclimatic events) are dealt with. The process of adaptation includes development of such system of agroclimatic support of the economy, which would adequately reflect the actual state of agroclimatic resources, bioclimatic potential of the environment, hazardous agroclimatic events, etc., at any prescribed moment, at any point. The problem is supposed to be solved with a mechanism of agricultural monitoring as one of the methods of agroclimatic support of the economy.
