This article is devoted to one of the most important aspects of the problem of climate and economy in the field of development of theoretical foundations for the appropriate use of agrometeorological information in agriculture and methods for assessing its potential economic efficiency using the minimax principle. The presented mathematical algorithms are supplemented by modifications of the minimax criteria taking into account Earth remote sensing (ERS) data from space for planning an appropriate strategy of agricultural technologies in the melioration system of agricultural territories, which substantiate the potential positive effect of increasing the agricultural productivity of the Golino site of the Menkovsky Branch of the Agrophysical Research Institute. Using geostatistical approaches in agricultural science, the effect obtained from applying the minimax principle taking into account global climate change with optimal strategies for differentiating agrotechnological solutions will be maximal, and the corresponding division of the territory can be interpreted as a promising task of economically optimal zoning using ERS. In a comprehensive plan, in conditions of uncertainty of assessments of future climate changes and their consequences, there is a need to prepare measures to minimize risks and develop a state strategy for adapting agrotechnological solutions to changes in the spatial heterogeneity of agricultural territories. Monitoring such changes using remote sensing allows for a significant increase in the scale of forecasting the productivity of agricultural lands and increasing the potential effectiveness of operational monitoring of the state of agricultural crops to manage the production process in the space-time continuum.
