Abstract
The present article is devoted to the increase of scientific knowledge in the field of economics and management of agro-industrial entities and institutions in the light of the spread of technological solutions and the global digital transformation. At the present time, the world is dealing with a shortage of food resources; however, digital technologies can help overcome the limitations in the development of agriculture, which are due to the consumption of unrenewable resource, fertility fall and soil degradation. Unlike pervasive high-intensive technologies, digital technologies can increase productivity, yield and performance while reducing the expenses and the environmental impact on agricultural landscapes. The present article upgrades the scientific perception of the economic role of digital technologies in the sustainable development of agriculture. The specific features of the development of agriculture and the agri-food market and the impact of Industry 4.0 on the transformation processes in agriculture are determined. The present research took into consideration the normative framework established by the National Program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”, as well as other programs and projects for the digitalization of agriculture. The system of agrarian digital technologies is outlined. The best practices in the application of digital technologies in agri-food systems and global experiences in the complex digitalization of the agro-industrial complex have been analyzed. This led to the elaboration of a model of the digital environment in agriculture. The article is addressed to the specialists interested in the use of digital technologies aimed at improving the efficiency of agriculture.
