The problem of providing the urban population with agricultural products

Abstract

The provision of agricultural products in full at the moment is especially relevant due to the deterioration of the political situation in the world around the Russian Federation. The cessation of deliveries of food and other goods from Western countries has set before Russia the task of overcoming import dependence. Therefore, the main goal now is to strengthen food independence at the expense of domestic production. The food security doctrine is aimed at gradually reducing the dependence of the agro-industrial complex not only on imported products, but also on imported machinery and equipment. Threshold values for the production of domestic products are also set. For grain, this figure is 95%. The same figure for potatoes. For milk and dairy products, the indicator should be at least 90%. For meat products - 85%, for sugar, vegetable oil and fish products - at least 80%. New technologies play a big role in this. New technologies in agriculture are innovations that take agriculture to a new level. The new agricultural revolution is the application of IT technologies in agriculture, which are designed to reduce the amount of manual labor and increase product yields. For these purposes, biotechnology, logistics, processing technologies are used.
