In this regard, an important role is played by infrastructural institutions, the end result of which is the provision of services. These institutions in the agricultural sector include the information and consulting service. The most important problem of the information and advisory service in Russia is the limited demand for the services of organizations of the information and advisory service related to the short-sighted, in many aspects of the application of digital technologies in the economy, state policy, with the alertness of rural entrepreneurship to information disclosure, including commercial. The purpose of this study is to determine the role and place of information and consulting services in the system of economic relations arising in the digital economy.

The author conducted a sociological research as part of a research group led by Academician A.N. Semina. The role of information and advisory services to agricultural entities in the digital economy is in the infra- structural support for the use of technologies (elements) of the digital economy by agribusiness entities. The place of information and advisory services to agricultural entities in the digital economy is determined by the institutional and infrastructural nature of ICS. It can be stated that X is one of the platforms for the functioning of the digital economy, creating and developing specific economic relations. Today the ICS of Russia is underestimated both by the authorities and by potential consumers. Information and consulting services in the digital economy is a system-forming char- acter of specific economic relations.

The production and use of energy from renewable sources in rural areas of foreign countries

Implementation of renewable energy sources is one of the most progressively developing area of the world energy system. Within a decade (2007-2017) global consumption of renewables for electricity generation (not including hydroenergy) increased 4,5 times while total primary energy supply was grown only by 17‰. World liquid biofuels (bioethanol, biodiesel) production more than doubled being significantly ahead the growth of conventional motor fuel. Major of global renewable energy is generated on rural territories. Rural territories also is noticeable user of this energy if you consider not only agricultural production but residential, local trade, social infrastructure, transport, construction, mining and quarrying fuel and energy demands as well. The renewables are very important for sustainable development of rural territories since in many cases they could be autonomous energy sources, more friendly for the environment being compared with conventional non renewable energy sources, contribute to creation of additional jobs and often are significant alternative source of income for farmers and other rural inhabitants. The paper mainly deals with potentially most attractive renewables for rural territories including solar, wind, biofuels and wastes. Relevant foreign experience in context of socioeconomic, technological and ecological factors is studied. The main steps to support the development of renewables in rural areas of Russia are outlined.
