Opportunities for the development of Russian crop production in the context of global challenges

It is shown that in the context of global challenges, the economy is being reformatted in favor of vital industries, including the agri-food sector. The apparently prosperous state of Russian agriculture and, above all, crop production, which demonstrates long-term growth of production even against the background of slowing down the dynamics of the domestic economy, is by no means unconditional. The development of the industry takes place in conditions of limited reproduction, largely due to the exhaustion of natural, labor, material, technical and financial resources. Such a paradox is fraught with the collapse of crops and problems in ensuring national food security. However, Russian agriculture, which has learned to survive in a crisis situation, with an effective agricultural policy, is capable of more intensive development in the face of global cataclysms. These prospects are connected with the possibility of a sharp increase in the production of natural products in vast territories that have preserved relict shades of agriculture; with the introduction of once abandoned agricultural land into circulation. The conditions that need to be created for the implementation of global competitive advantages of crop production are shown. The semantic analysis of leading publications is carried out, which allows identifying trends in promising world research in agricultural Sciences.
