Abstract

The article is concerned with the current state of digitalisation of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) in the Russian Federation. It lists a number of legal instruments that have been approved by the legislative authorities and establish the digitalisation trends of the agro-industrial complex at the federal and regional levels. It shows GIS technology opportunities in the process of the AIC digitalisation. It deals with the implementation of the Decree of the Russian Federation Government, which has determined the establishment of excellent scientific and educational centres in connection with the implementation of one of such projects in the Belgorod Region. It examines the experience of both project development for the basin-based agricultural landscapes using GIS technologies and the introduction of soil protection agriculture within the entire region in relation to the territory of the Belgorod Region. It shows changes in the available land structure in the Belgorod Region due to the introduction of basin-based nature management projects. It considers the advantages of the basin approach to be used in the course of the AIC digitalisation.

Highlights

The agro-industrial complex (AIC) digitalisation provides for widespread introduction of digital technologies in this sector of the economy, which is strategically important for the country due to the need to ensure food security and thanks to its high export potential
The advantage of basin-based nature management is that its implementation can overcome the most critical imbalances in the existing available land structure and curb the development of soil degradation and water resource depletion processes [20, 21], which will make it possible to reach a compromise between the economic efficiency of land use and environmental sustainability of the territory [22]
The author's methodology and the design results, Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education «Belgorod National Research University» (NRU “BelSU”) it was for the first time in Russia when scientific support for the implementation of basin-based nature management was ensured for one of the country's regions

Summary

Introduction

The AIC digitalisation provides for widespread introduction of digital technologies in this sector of the economy, which is strategically important for the country due to the need to ensure food security and thanks to its high export potential. Several concepts emerged, which show various forms of digitalisation in agricultural production systems, value chains, and, more broadly, in food systems [1]. These include Smart Farming [2], Precision Agriculture or Precision Farming [3], Decision Agriculture [4], Digital Agriculture [5], Agriculture 4.0 [6]
