The article presents a study of the current state of the use of digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex. The development of the agro-industrial complex in the conditions of the digital economy involves the use of innovative, digital, cluster, information and computer technologies, as well as new managerial, economic, organizational methods, with fundamentally new properties, which are aimed at increasing the efficiency of production, management and implementation for all areas of the agro-industrial complex. Based on the analysis of foreign experience, the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation, digital standards, types of digital technologies, the paper considers the types of digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex and the possibility of their use for future development. The methodological basis of the study was the works of domestic scientists-economists on the development of innovations and digital technologies in the agro-industrial complex; general scientific research methods (abstract-logical, economic-statistical, etc.) were used, as well as open analytical materials on the development of digital technologies, the use of artificial intelligence and neural networks in the agro-industrial complex, etc. The article reveals that the range of digital technologies currently being created for the agro-industrial complex is diverse and it is aimed at solving a set of problems: growth of output and the efficiency of the agricultural enterprise, introduction of artificial intelligence; creation of insight based on images; determination of the optimal mixture for agronomic products; monitoring the state of crops; methods of automating irrigation and stimulating farmers, etc. As world best practices show, the use of digital technologies in agriculture makes it possible to achieve economic growth in the industry. However, the main problem of introducing digital technologies in agriculture is the high cost of their implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper identifies problems in the country's energy sector associated with low efficiency. Thus, a comparative analysis of statistical data showed that in 2020 there was an increase in the share of unprofitable energy enterprises in Russia from 46.3 to 48.3%, the growth of losses increased to 448,505 billion rubles, exceeding the values of 2019 -141,510 billion rubles, therefore, more than 3 times. It is shown that there is an increase in the degree of depreciation of fixed assets of energy enterprises from 45.7 to 47.6%, which is accompanied by an increase in the costs of maintaining the operability of equipment. In addition, the costs of correcting internal defects are increasing due to the poor-quality organization of monitoring the equipment condition, which also reduces the efficiency of energy enterprises. Different approaches to solving the problem have been summarized: the use of information innovations in the energy sector, the introduction of technological and transactional innovations, as well as innovations in the management of an energy company, for example, the transition to project management or a risk-based management model in the electric power industry. We offer project management to reduce non-manufacturing costs in an energy company on a concrete example of reducing the costs of internal defects correction and implementing an improvement algorithm.

The paper outlines the important impact of the introduction of voluntary environmental management in urban environments on environmental protection. An important role in the implementation of projects is played by innovations and tools for promoting innovative solutions that improve the ecological condition of growing areas of human activity. An analysis of the methods of processing and disposal of waste in the Russian Federation and in foreign countries was made. The problems of the waste recycling process are grouped. The methods of innovative implementations for solving environmental problems are considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Scientific and technological progress predetermines the degree and speed of development of industrial enterprises. It covers all parts of the innovation process, including basic theoretical research, applied research, design and technological development, development of new technology samples. Labor costs for the installation and commissioning of the latest equipment are reducing, the material and technical base is updating, productivity is improving. The tendency to increase the influence of scientific and technological progress on the level of production costs, existing in Western countries with developed market economies, is crucial for the Russian Federation. The main priority of government support is innovative technologies. The Russian Federation is a world leader in the field of chemistry, physics, medicine, aerospace technology; therefore, innovative technologies are available and applicable in Russian enterprises, and specialists implementing innovations seek to use advanced technologies. Thanks to the innovative technologies, labor productivity has been improved, materials with new physical and chemical properties have been developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
