Challenges of Digitalization of Agrarian Sector in terms of Human Development

The article substantiates the digitization of the agrarian sector as a major trend that determines not only the economic but also human development. Digitalization is defined as the process of transforming information into a digital form, and such a process which more or less touches absolutely all spheres of life making first of all qualitative changes and influencing human development itself. In Ukraine where the agrarian sector is in fact the locomotive of economic development, its digitalization becomes the main task that needs practical application. Today significant achievements of Ukrainian agricultural companies in the direction of digitalization can be observed but a large number of problems still need to be addressed and remain challenges for the future. First of all the focus should be on combining the use of digital technologies with the appropriate training of workers of all levels capable of working in the new environment. Then it is possible to ensure both the fulfillment of economic goals and the achievement of human development goals. To do this Government supporting programs for the agrarian sector's digitalization at all levels are needed.
