Theoretical foundations of investing in robotic field feed production systems

Purpose. Development of theoretical and methodological foundations of investment processes for the modernization, effective functioning and further development of field feed production, taking into account environmental aspects through the introduction of robotic systems. Methods. The following methods were used in the research process: theoretical generalization; the empirical base was formed on the basis of: conferences proceedings, data from literary sources and information from the Internet computer network. Results. The theoretical and methodological foundations of investing in the development of field feed production through the introduction of robotic systems during the period of post-war reconstruction were studied. The classification of robotic systems in feed production was presented, their functional role in field feed production was determined. The main global factors for the popularization of investments in robotic systems in field feed production were summarized and formed. The technical structure of ground-based mobile robotic systems and the economic and environmental advantages of using robotics in field feed production were established. Conclusions. The environmental analysis of investment results is difficult to convert into financial terms, so it will be expedient to use the absolute and relative environmental indicators: the volume of water used, the volume of pollution by plant protection products and mineral fertilizers, etc. Thus, one of the effective ways to optimize field feed production today is the automation and robotization of agrotechnological processes. Therefore, modern agricultural enterprises will be faced with the task of choosing robotics to increase work productivity and obtain higher profits, ensuring both economic and environmental efficiency of management.
