The article discusses Russia's contribution to solving the global food problem as a member of internationalagricultural organizations of the United Nations, which play a central role in this area, as well as through participa-tion in the Food Assistance Convention. Recommendations for international cooperation in solving the global foodproblem.
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in the conditions of accelerating globalization and techno-logical transformation, the solution of issues of scientific and technological renewal of the agro-industrial complex(hereinafter, AIC) of the Eurasian economic Union (hereinafter, the EAEU, the Union) is possible through the crea-tion of integrated innovation units within the EAEU. In our opinion, effective cooperation of business, science, thestate, public organizations participating in the work of the Eurasian agricultural technology platform (hereinafter, theEATP) will allow it to become an effective innovative tool for the development and implementation of the results ofscientific and technical activities in agriculture of the Eurasian economic Union.
The relevance of the research topic is due to the creation of the Eurasian economic Union (hereinafter, theEAEU), which is designed on the principles of cooperation, concentration of resources and the use of longterm planning, to provide significant advantages in the development of economic systems, to promote the commercializationand use of intellectual property in the economic activities of the EAEU member States. In our opinion, an effectiveinnovative tool designed to intensify efforts to create promising commercial technologies, new products (services), toattract additional resources for research and development through the participation of all stakeholders (business,science, government) are technological platforms (hereinafter, TP) [2]. It should be noted that in modern conditions,technological platforms and their activities should be based on a new principle of management with the use of infor-mation (digital, computer) technologies, providing for the exchange of data in digital form (information, ideas, resources). Thus, the purpose of this work was to study the multilateral experience of the formation and organization ofthe European and Russian technology platforms, with the possibility of its application in the development of technological platforms in the agro-industrial complex of the EAEU member States. The main results of the study is the author's generalization of the views of leading domestic and foreign scientists on the formation, development and effective functioning of technological platforms, including agricultural, in the European Union, the Russian Federationand the Eurasian economic Union. According to the results of the study: analyzed the development of technologicalplatforms in historical aspect; presents the goals, objectives, functions and principles offormation and functioning ofEuropean technological platforms; presents the goals, objectives, functions and principles of the Russian TP; considers the goals and objectives of the Eurasian TP; presents an up-to-date list of approved Eurasian TP.
He article discusses the international experience of developing information support systems (and more generally, the use of information and communication technologies) for the needs of agriculture by the example of workspresented at the last Conference of the European Federation on the use of information technologies in agriculture(EFITA-2017). The main areas in which the efforts of European scientists (and scientists of other countries) are concentrated in this field are examined, the representation of countries and regions in this area of research is studied,and key words that characterize these works are analyzed.
The article deals with the main issues of formation of free trade zones in the world, their positive effect onmutual trade in agricultural products. The greatest attention is paid to the creation offree trade zones of the EurasianEconomic Union with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and the Islamic Republic of Iran, other countries with whichnegotiations are currently underway. Separately considered the prospects for increasing exports of agriculturalgoods.
We considered the problems actual for the oil and fatty industry in case of the effective governmental controlabsence in the seed market. We couched key risks connected with localization of transnational companies in Russiaand their fallouts on a realization of a doctrine of the national food security. We substituted a necessity to developand introduce an organizational and economical mechanism of control and legal and regulatory support of acropmarket of the domestic varieties and hybrids.
In the article, regarding efficiency and effectiveness, the programs of an agriculture development support onthe federal and regional level are considered. The possible influence of agrarian support measures was investigatedwithin state programs from the standpoint of agroproduction function parameters shift. A two-factor production mod-el, consuming capital and labor resources, was adopted as a basis. The coefficients of capital and labor elasticity intotal for the period from 2005 to 2017, and on extreme segments of the investigated range are analyzed. The norm oftechnological substitution is determined. The conclusions on changes in production function during the period of thestate development program are made, recommendations on perfection of its forming and realization process are giv-en.
The article considers the existing approaches to the classification ofproductive lands of the Russian Federation, taking into account natural, economic and soil conditions. It is shown that the existing methods of land classification in General create a regulatory and methodological basis for their differentiation and provide reliable results. Anew approach of work on land classification in the form of a project cycle is proposed.
In the article an author analyses and describes the problems related to the rational use of the landed landsby the managing subjects of agrarian production of the Ryazan area. The tendencies of reduction of areas of the landed lands and translation of earth of high categories are underlined on more subzero, foremost ploughlands onhaymakings and pastures. The inefficient use of areas ofploughland, subzero stake of sowing, is marked. Specified onthe nonoptimal structure of sowing areas, decline of specific gravity of green crops, that becomes the factor of reduc-tion of population of cattle, sheep and goats. The most worst positions were folded in the use of the landed lands onthe economies ofpopulation, that became reason of this position on the whole on the agrarian production of area. Theconclusions of author specify on possible directions of decision of problem of increase of efficiency of landtenure inagriculture.
