Abstract
This chapter developed a proprietary scientific and methodological approach to the polycriteria
assessment of agriculture’s sustainability. The advantage of the new approach is, first, the
possibility for a precise quantitative evaluation of agriculture’s sustainability based on the data of
energy efficiency. Third, the largest precision of the assessment results, due to the use of Saaty’s
hierarchy process. This method is used to determine the contribution of various criteria of
agriculture’s sustainability to food security. This allows assigning weight coefficients to the
distinguished criteria, which reflect – quantitatively – their contribution. Due to this, the
sustainability of agriculture correctly describes its contribution to the provision of food security.
The approbation of the developed methodological approach based on various countries of the
in the world economic system. A systemic contribution of digitalization and higher education to
development of agriculture for higher education and the digital economy of Russia are described.
ASSESSMENT OF AGRICULTURAL SUSTAINABILITY. 2
The amount of arable land available is unlikely to change, and as the population rises,
increasing harvests from current assets will become necessary. By 2050, the world's population
will reach 9 billion, up from 7.7 billion today, and food production would need to expand by
over 70% to keep up with the growing population. Without abandoning traditional agricultural
practices, people's ability to develop and exploit arable land would dwindle in the future.
Previously, the emphasis was on using available land and producing as many harvests as was
reasonably possible. There was minimal attention on appropriate harvest generation or land
protection and a comparative lack of emphasis on benefit and financial savings in area and
assets. These two are inextricably linked, and the resulting arrangements will transform
agriculture.
Crop production should be expanded constantly by 60-90 percent by 2050 to meet the
nutritional needs of a future human population. Frameworks for yield development that produce
more food with a higher nutritional content while simultaneously having a more negligible
climatic effect are required. Horticultural advancement in the twentieth century relied heavily on
compost, pesticides, and irrigation systems, all of which came at a tremendous environmental
cost. These changes occurred as a result of the Green Revolution, which provided food security
for a segment of the population. However, the difficulties of the twenty-first century are unique,
and preserving soil and water will be crucial to ensuring food security. Feasible precision

other industries, has been negatively impacted by the constant outages. Regardless, late

in outlook is imminent, necessitating information flow from multiple sources (Poppe et al.,2013).

this volume of data; hence, large-scale information foundations and frameworks have been
created and deployed (Wolfert et al.,2012). To cope with the intricacies of this vast amount of
data, it is necessary to examine various data components when designing these frameworks. To
date, numerous types of information have been meant for the executives' reference structures.
There are a few strategies for reasonable agriculture that can conserve the environment, raise the
ripeness of the soil, and increase regular assets. Horticulture has been demonstrated to have an
effect on soil disintegration, water quality, human health, and fertilization administration.
Practical agribusiness is vital in this capacity in order to mitigate the negative impacts of

Russia has quietly solved its long-standing food deficit problem. The country's
sophisticated agri-food sector is one of the fastest expanding sectors of the public economy. Crop
production is edging closer to historical levels (sunflower, sugar beet). Previously a steady
shipper of staple food items, the country has developed into a key provider to the worldwide
market. Russia is now the world's finest for wheat and buckwheat cuisine and has entered the top
ten harvest countries. Additionally, it has begun shipping domestic animal products and value-
added food products. Significant advancements in the sectors of food quality and security have
State support for agriculture is consistently set at levels comparable to those in the
European Union and the United States, despite the fact that various assistance programs are
largely ineffective at accomplishing their stated objectives (Kheyfets and Chernova, 2019).
There are emerging indicators of incomplete area execution (such as yields per hectare, per head,
and labor efficiency) as well as absolute factor utility (TFP) (Afanasyeva et al.,2021). Production
progresses mainly at the price of increasing factors. Modular manufacturers make use of cutting-
edge technology. Russia ranks in the top third of the world's nations on traditional measures of
food security.

The 1998 emergency, which froze imports and ushered in a rush of domestic investment,
initially in the food industry, then in critical agribusiness and upstream, was a watershed moment
in the region's growth. Thus, the essential factors of development were venture development and

presentation of authorized adversaries was yet another attempt to secure domestic manufacturers.

novel food products with particular characteristics targeted at specific segments of the market.
