Problems and prospects for sustainable development of the Russian agro-industrial sector under international sanctions and green agenda

Abstract

Ensuring the productive functioning of the sphere of agriculture in modern economic conditions objectively requires a large-scale and fundamental reform of the business model of agriculture, based on the transition from resource (extensive) to innovation-oriented (intensive) paradigm, based on the active use of digital technologies in the organization, monitoring and management of agribusiness. Currently, agriculture in Russia does face a number of risks that significantly complicate the implementation of the program of digital agribusiness reform: the emergence of a shortage of seed material; lack of educational programs in the field of cooperation between agribusiness and IT; lack of dissemination of ideas and requirements of responsible business policy, expressed in the adoption and compliance with ESG principles; critical dependence of Russian agriculture on import of feed supplements and vaccines aimed at the implementation of genet Despite the multitude of threats, thanks to competent and far-sighted leadership a set of measures has been taken to replace imports and develop our own production base, which today has already sufficiently revealed its potential to keep Russia the last word in the duel for the future food security of the entire Eurasian continent.
