Abstract

The article describes the process of transition of agriculture of Russia to digital agriculture and describes the list of tasks, the solution of which will allow it to be carried out in a comprehensive and planned way. The process of digitization of agriculture includes the solution of several problems. They relate to regulatory support, the implementation of technical and technological support, the introduction of innovative solutions, the creation of a financing system with the participation of the state and private capital, the introduction of electronic automated systems and communication channels, the elimination of problems related to environmental protection, the introduction of special training in knowledge economy and digitalization. In solving these problems, the obstacles affecting the quality and time of the process of digitization in agriculture have been described. These include: a certain lag of Russia from the developed countries in the implementation of information and communication technologies in the agrarian sector of the economy, insufficient robotization, a somewhat late creation of the target sub-program “digital agriculture”, etc. At the same time, these obstacles can be relatively briefly covered in the case of the implementation of a systematic approach of solving the previously listed tasks. This is confirmed by what has already been done in the country for the digitization of agricultural production. In particular, the necessary regulatory framework has been created. On the basis of a single information platform, typical projects of agricultural modernization in the regions are being formed. The introduction of end-to-end digitalization has begun, services and forms of providing services to data producers are being developed. In some Subjects of the Russian Federation, business models are created for renting mechanized equipment (Uber for agricultural machinery). Agricultural universities open new departments, whose training programs consider digitalization and digital economy as two interrelated phenomena.
