State policy on digitalization of the forest industry

Abstract

Currently, the state management of forest resources in our country needs to be improved. Therefore, in accordance with the decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, the state forestry policy aims at increasing the contribution of this industry to the socio-economic development of the country, the transition to intensive forest management, as well as the protection, safeguard and reproduction of forests. These aims can be effectively achieved through the active implementation of information and communication technologies in the management of the forest sector, which is gradually taking place in practice. However, at the moment, there are certain problems associated with the practical implementation of the forest digitalization strategy. This article presents possible solutions to these problems.
