Solving the Problems of the Human Factor in the Field of Agriculture through the Creation of Modern Digital Products on the Example of the Ecosystem of JSC “Rosselkhoznadzor”

The subject of the study is the role of the human factor in the field of agriculture on the example of the ecosystem “Svoyo” JSC “Rosselkhoznadzor”. The objectives of the work are to assess the essence and functions of the human factor in the Russian agricultural sector through the use of economic and statistical methods; to identify the main efficiency criteria used in attracting human resources; to identify problems that hinder the formation of human capital; to develop proposals for popularization of the ecosystem “Svoyo”. It is determined that over the past seven years, the average annual number of people employed in the agricultural sector has steadily decreased and the trend towards a decrease in the number of enterprises belonging to small and medium-sized businesses has not changed, with an increase in the number of large agricultural holdings. It is big business that ensures the continuous growth of economic indicators in the industry. As a result of the ongoing state reforms in the agricultural sector, the volume of agricultural products has more than doubled since 2010.
The scientific value of the article lies in the construction of a holistic and logical vision of solving the problems of the human factor in the agricultural sector. The factors that limit the opportunities for the development of the sphere associated with the formation of human capital, as well as the possibilities of the «Svoyo» resource for use by industry enterprises are highlighted: the prevailing unattractive image of the industry among the population, low innovation activity and the use of outdated technologies, inefficient organization and use of outdated combinations in the management of agricultural enterprises and the development of the industry as a whole, the lack of informing enterprises about the products of JSC “Rosselkhoznadzor”. Conclusions are drawn about the need for institutional transformations and reforms aimed at changing the sectoral structure by reforming the education system.
