Влияние человеческого капитала на обеспечение населения Сибирского федерального округа продукцией овощеводства

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to study the impact of human capital on the provision of vegetable products to the population of the region and to identify areas for improvement. Vegetable growing is an important sub-sector of agriculture. Providing the region’s population with vegetable products depends on its successful operation. Vegetables contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, which make them an essential food. The authors analyzed the current situation in production and consumption of vegetable products in the region and made a forecast of the need for vegetable products until 2035. The authors give a number of recommendations to ensure that the population of the region is fully provided with vegetable products. The main production of vegetables is concentrated in private farms of the population, while commodity production is concentrated in large agricultural organizations and greenhouse complexes. In recent years, the region has seen an increase in the production of protected ground vegetables, which is associated with the launch of large modern greenhouse plants. Despite this, the volume and range of production of open and protected ground vegetables do not fully meet the needs of the region’s population in local vegetable products. Part of the demand for vegetable products is met by importing vegetables. Studies have shown that the population of the region consumes vegetables still below the rational medical standards, which requires changes. To fully meet the needs of the region’s population for vegetable products, it is necessary to transfer the region’s vegetable production to a new level of development. The transition of vegetable production to a new level of technology development also requires the development of human capital in the agricultural sector. In our opinion, the main indicator that characterizes the quality of human capital is the number of employees with higher professional education, so there is a need to transfer agricultural education to a new level of professional training
