Abstract: Development of farmland shelterbelts in the three-north regions has played an important role in increasing grain yield and forest resources, enhancing wood supply capability, promoting regional economic development and raising farmers' income. At same time, there exist quite a few issues to be dealt with in the construction and development of farmland shelterbelts in the three-north regions such as heavy tasks in construction, aging forest, and lagging of forest renewal and reconstruction. There are still more potentials and spaces for enhancing the functions of resources cultivation and heavy tasks in planning the construction, renewal and reconstruction of farmland shelterbelts. Finally, some strategies are put forward,which will facilitate rapid and healthy development of farmland shelterbelts in the three-north regions.

Key words: Three-north regions, farmland shelterbelts, resources, strategies
