Abstract: As is well known, agrobiodiversity is one of the most important components of the global biodiversity, and it is vital to ensure global food security and sustainable agricultural development. This paper summarizes the functions, the assessment methods, the influencing factors, and the current protection measures of agrobiodiversity over the last 20 years. Then, the paper puts forward the following academic problems in present research. Insufficient contention has been paid to the evaluation study of agrobiodiversity. The relationship between climate change and argobiodiversity is not yet clear. The study of new protection measures for agrobiodiversity is still in the exploratory stage. In order to achieve the goal of sustainable agricultural development and agrobiodiversity protection under the background of climate change and scale agriculture operations, the following studies are urgent: (1) continue to deepen crop germplasm research; (2) the ecology mechanism of agro-cultural heritage site and its dynamic protection; (3) learning to balance the relationship between scale agriculture operations and agrobiodiversity protection; (4) how climate change influences agrobiodiversity.
