Features of innovative activity of the agro-industrial complex at the present stage
Today, at the state level, it is noted that the main conditions for the development and diversification of the rural economy include modernization and transition to an innovative model of development, accelerated development of modern science and technology, allowing to increase labor productivity, reduce the resource intensity of products and form the human potential of the village, capable of mastering advanced technologies. The relevance of the study of the issues of innovative development of the industry due to the fact that in the production and processing of certain types of raw materials there is a technological backwardness of almost a few decades. Many farms could not withstand the competition of imported products and ceased to exist. New farms with the use of modern equipment practically did not appear. Each sector of the national economy, including the agro-industrial complex, is characterized by its own specificity, which determines not only the direction and pace of its development, but also affects the organization of innovation. Acceleration of scientific and technological progress of the agro-industrial complex requires taking into account the peculiarities of innovative processes inherent in both the industry and the modern stage of social and economic development of society. The aim of the work is to identify the peculiarities of innovative processes in the modern economy and the possibility of their activation in the agro-industrial complex of our country. In the process of work to identify the features of innovation in the agro-industrial complex at the present stage used monographic, abstract-logical, comparative research methods, systematic approach. The study found that the state of the agro-industrial complex in the Russian Federation highlights the need for the state to participate in these processes as an objectively necessary coordinator and regulator of innovation processes.
