European experience in digital transformation of business processes in the agricultural sector and ways of its implementation in national realities
Modern global technologies for the development of agriculture are focused on increasing the profitability of farms, improving the quality, safety and environmental friendliness of produced products, reducing the environmental burden of agricultural production on the development of natural ecosystems by: optimizing management and production processes at all stages of creating added value, increasing adaptability and reducing the risks of agricultural production in conditions of change; 2) creating agricultural ecosystems and clusters based on integrated digital networks that combine data from internal and external systems in real time, simplify decision-making processes, allow for operational monitoring of the implementation of planned tasks and unite all ecosystem participants into a single network to ensure the effectiveness of existing value-added chains, their diversification and optimization; digitalization of agricultural machinery based on modern technical means (sensors, sensors, cameras) that generate large volumes of operational data. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, edge computing, 5G, blockchain and supercomputers have the potential to make agriculture more efficient, sustainable and competitive. In general, the processes of digital transformation of the economy and society have received considerable attention in the EU countries, which is why they require additional attention for research and formulation of the objectives of the article (statement of the task). The article aims to research the European experience of digital transformation of business processes in the agricultural sector and ways of implementing it in national realities. The current stage of development of the global agricultural market is characterized by the rapid deployment of new forms and methods of production and processing of agricultural products based on digital technologies, aimed at the development of highly productive production systems capable of satisfying the growing demand for food in conditions of limited natural resources and minimizing the effects of production on natural ecosystems. In this context, all modern technological solutions and business processes aim to achieve the goals of sustainable, environmentally oriented and inclusive growth of the agricultural sector, and their scientific and technical support is comprehensively stimulated at the level of the state, supranational structures and international organizations. The experience of the EU and individual countries in the field of development and stimulation of innovations and processes of digital transformations of agriculture is studied, which confirms the significance of the role of the state and the European Commission in regulating, directing, and stimulating these processes. The success of the relevant transformations lies in the plane of a comprehensive strategic approach, adaptation of legislation to new digital realities, development of institutions of innovation activity, access of scientific and venture organizations to financing innovative developments, and their implementation in practical activities by subjects of agrarian business. Keywords: European experience, business processes, agricultural sphere, national realities, implementation.
