SOME ISSUES OF ORGANIZATIONAL AND LEGAL REGULATION OF THE DIGITALIZATION OF AGRICULTURE

Abstract

The study was carried out in order to study organizational and legal measures to mitigate the negative consequences of the digitalization of agriculture. The developed countries of the world, which initially had a high level of development of the agricultural sector, a wide network of highly professional agricultural research and educational institutions, respectively, qualified scientific personnel - agrarians, a steadily functioning system of agrarian law and many other advantages, have shown today a good susceptibility to the digital transformation of agriculture , and here the horizons of a new competitive digital agricultural economy have already been clearly outlined. At the same time, it should be recognized that, due to the innovative nature of this phenomenon, in Russia there is an extremely narrow list of scientific works devoted to the digital transformation of agriculture, and organizational and legal issues in this area have been practically considered little, and then, from the standpoint of the interests of an individual agricultural enterprise or farming. This predetermined the relevance of the study. Digital technologies, having solved the most important problem of the agricultural producer - the sale of products - helped to focus his main attention on increasing the production of his own products while reducing its cost and improving quality. It will be very difficult for most agricultural producers in Russia to navigate the innovations of digitalization of their production without the development of an appropriate digital agricultural law. However, even in the presence of the latter, the solution to this problem will be possible only with the resuscitation by the state in each rural region of the country of the information and advisory service, which needs to be reactivated from the standpoint of the needs of the digitalization of the agricultural industry and with the development of appropriate measures to stimulate the positive work of its consultants. Moreover, it seems that the digital retraining of farmers should also undoubtedly be undertaken by the state, as well as the prevention of a digital divide between economic entities that benefit from the use of agricultural products in the form of food or raw materials.
