Направления развития пищевых и перерабатывающих производств в регионах промышленного типа

In industrial-type regions with a predominant industrial component of the economy, the issue of providing the population with high-quality and affordable food is most acute. In industrial regions, there are problems with agriculture, such as an unfavorable environmental situation, partly related to the predominance of extractive industry in the region’s economy, a shortage of agricultural land, etc. At the same time, the region has scientific, technical, and innovative potentials for the development of processing of agricultural raw materials and food production. Since the majority of the population in these regions is predominantly urban, intensive modern living conditions require the production of ready-made food, semi-finished products, which stimulates the creation of food and processing industries. Therefore, a shift in emphasis towards the processing of agricultural raw materials and food production is becoming a priority direction for the development of agro-industrial complex. One of the main constraining factors of the extensive variant of agricultural development in industrial regions is the limited land resources and their deterioration under the influence of the consequences of the activities of industrial, mainly extractive industries. The article substantiates the limitations of the extensive development path of the agro-industrial complex of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass, emphasizes the need for its development, on an innovative basis, and food and processing industries in particular. The significance of the research lies in the development of a concept for the development of food and processing industries, which determines the main directions of their development.

Development of intelligent technology elements to establish optimal harvest dates for grain crops

The outstripping pace of agro-industrial complex development is largely determined by the level of agricultural production organization. The effectiveness of crop cultivation depends both on external factors: nature of soils, climatic conditions, etc., and on the skillful organization of agrotechnical measures, timely implementation of planned sowing cycles, cultivation and harvesting of crop production. The development of intelligent technologies can optimize the use of resources and management processes in the field of agriculture, as well as improve the quality of finished products. In particular, using the capabilities of artificial intelligence, it is possible to process large amounts of data on soil composition, fertility, humidity, and other soil parameters; predict weather and climate, forecast and plan sowings of certain crops. With the help of modern intelligent technologies, it is possible to monitor the condition of plants, identify diseases and pests, control growth and determine the best time for sowing, various types of plant treatment and time for harvesting. Definitely, these are just some areas where intelligent technologies in agriculture that can be used. With the development of technology and improved data availability, the possibilities of using artificial intelligence in all the areas mentioned will only grow.
