Abstract

This scientific article examines the influence of information technologies on the agro-industrial complex (AIC) during armed conflicts, specifically using the example of the war in Ukraine. Military actions have a negative impact on agricultural activities, leading to the destruction of crops, railways, transportation blockades, and infrastructure. However, information technologies can play a crucial role in ensuring food security and supporting the AIC in the context of armed conflict.The article analyzes the utilization of information technologies such as remote sensing of Earth, geographic information systems, drones, and agricultural sensors, which can provide essential information about the state of crops, water resources, and land areas. These technologies assist farmers in planning and making informed decisions regarding optimal resource utilization and ensuring food security even during times of armed conflict. Furthermore, the article examines the effectiveness of mobile applications, electronic document management, and farm management systems in ensuring efficient production and organizing agricultural processes to maintain the sustainable functioning of the AIC during armed conflict. These technologies enable farmers and agricultural enterprise managers to conduct effective monitoring and resource management, plan farm operations, and coordinate personnel actions even in the face of military threats. Additionally, the article analyzes the ethical aspects of using information technologies in the AIC during armed conflicts. This includes issues of data confidentiality protection for farmers, ethical use of data from mobile applications, and the safeguarding of worker privacy. The impact of these technologies on society and rural development during conflicts is also explored. Overall, the article provides a comprehensive view of the use of information technologies in agriculture during armed conflict and emphasizes the necessity of developing and implementing specialized solutions that address the unique challenges and needs of the AIC in such exceptional circumstances. Research in this field can contribute to ensuring the sustainable development of agriculture and enhancing the resilience of the AIC to armed conflicts and other hazards.
