At the same time, MFH put forward new requirements for the development of the agro–industrial complex and its foundations - agriculture (II sphere), suppliers of means of production for the agricultural sector (I sphere), storage, processing, packaging, packaging, transportation, wholesale and retail trade in food (III sphere) and other national economic complexes serving it (NHK), together, ensuring the highly efficient operation of promising waste-free agro-industrial formations (APF). It is proposed to start creating specialized waste-free potato and vegetable, dairy, etc. in typical agricultural regions of Russia. SPTC (based on MFH), APP and APO (based on medium and large agricultural enterprises) with the construction of prefabricated (10-30 days) and quickly payback (0.5-1.0 years) storage complexes of any capacity and capacity from light metal structures (LMC) of full factory readiness "turnkey", using the Soviet work experience of self-supporting mobile mechanized columns (PMCs, simultaneously engaged in land reclamation of collective farms and state farms).

THE IMPACT OF STRUCTURAL CHANGES ON EMPLOYMENT IN THE GLOBAL AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

Structural changes in the global agricultural sector, caused largely by global population growth and increased demand for food, have an impact on almost all its characteristics, including labor productivity and employment in agriculture. The development of science and technology, digitalization and robotics significantly increase labor productivity, while there is a gradual reduction in the number of people employed in the agricultural sector. However, the development and application of scientific and technological achievements in practice require increased investment and an increasingly skilled workforce. Economically developed countries have great opportunities to meet these needs, unlike less developed countries, which significantly affects the agricultural sector. At the present stage, high-income countries are characterized by a decrease in the share of agriculture in GDP and employment in the industry, industry and the service sector are developing rapidly. In most low-income countries, agriculture is the main economic sector with high employment. Relatively low economic development hinders the introduction of scientific and technological achievements in an industry in which labor is more labor-intensive and less paid than the work of qualified specialists, but it should be noted that in countries of this category there is a gradual increase in labor productivity and poverty eradication. The general global problem remains the resettlement of rural populations to cities, especially young people, which has a serious impact not only on agriculture, but also on the sustainable development of rural areas. Diversification of rural activities solves this problem to a certain extent, but it is necessary to develop medium- and long-term strategies in this area.

The development of innovation, digital technologies and new technological processes play an important role in the modern economy. Innovative activities make it possible to increase production efficiency, reduce costs, create new markets and ensure competitiveness. Investments play a key role in innovation activities. The development of innovation has a significant effect on the state, territories and organizations of all types of economic activity. At the state level, innovation can help improve the standard of living of the population, develop the competitiveness of the economy and create jobs. At the territorial level, the development of innovation can lead to the concentration of innovative activity in certain regions or cities. Such places become centers of economic growth and attract highly qualified specialists. This can help develop infrastructure, increase attractiveness for business and attract investment. The article examines the state of the regions according to indicators characterizing investment processes and innovative development. Based on the application of the rating assessment method, the state of the regions of the Volga, Ural and Siberian federal districts of Russia in terms of investment levels is characterized. A multidimensional grouping of the regions of these districts was carried out according to indicators of innovation activity and the development of innovative activity of economic entities. The problems that are inhibitors in the development of innovative activity in the regions of Russia are identified.

ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INNOVATION POLICY IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOOD COMPLEX OF RUSSIA

The principles and goals of technological development for the production of innovative products in accordance with the Doctrine of Food Security are possible only in the context of the transfer of food and processing industries, and fishing industries to the rails of innovative development, relying on their own scientific, technical and personnel potential. The state today has done a lot to provide legislative and regulatory support for the development of an innovative economy. These regulatory and legal acts define the basic principles, priorities, directions and measures for the implementation of state policy; they are the basis for the development of industry strategies and state programs for the development of the food complex. The theory and practice of innovation development shows that innovation processes are based on the collective work of many participants in economic activity, and various types of government institutions play a crucial role in it. Technological and organizational innovations in any production system set in motion economic processes, ensuring economic growth and social progress, with a fair distribution of the created social product. Innovations are not born out of nowhere; their development is based on the experience of previous scientists and specialists with their scientific and engineering schools; they must be actively supported by the state within the framework of developed strategies and programs.
