The article reveals essential issues of personnel training for digital agriculture. The results of the expert survey of 54 agricultural universities top management of the country, devoted to issues of personnel training for digital economy, have been described. As a result of the study, the ranking of competencies required by the specialists of the agricultural sector in the digital transformation of the economy has been made; the  project of competencies for the formation of pass-through digital literacy has been developed; the systemic contradictions and problems of personnel training in the conditions of digital transformation of the economy in general and agriculture in particular have been identify, grading of which will allow to increase digital literacy in the agricultural sector. The main obstacles for the development of personnel training system for digital agriculture have been highlighted: digital inequality between rural and urban population; insufficient development of the agrarian universities facilities; fragmentary formation of digital competencies; requiring a transition to the comprehensive education of these skills through the improvement of educational programs at the level of secondary vocational education, undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies; different speed of requirements change for the competencies of modern specialists and for educational programs updating; lack of effective technologies to form interdisciplinary competencies and skills in the educational system; insufficient flexibility of the existing system of personnel training in the agricultural sector of the economy due to the lack of practice in the formation of short “digital” competencies in the online education system. It has been concluded that even traditional professions in the conditions of the digital transformation of the economy require the formation of additional competencies, development of cross-functional qualities of a specialist, which requires a change in approaches to additional education and professional retraining, transition to lifelong learning and effective combination of training with professional activities.

This study provides a model that supports systematic stakeholder inclusion in agricultural technology. Building on the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) literature and attempting to add precision to the conversation around inclusion in technology design and governance, this study develops a framework for determining which stakeholder groups to engage in RRI processes. We developed the model using a specific industry case study: identifying the relevant stakeholders in the Canadian digital agriculture ecosystem. The study uses literature and news article analysis to map stakeholders in the Canadian digital agricultural sector as a test case for the model. The study proposes a systematic framework which categorises stakeholders into individuals, industrial and societal groups with both direct engagement and supportive roles in digital agriculture. These groups are then plotted against three levels of impact or power in the agri-food system: micro, meso and macro.

This study assessed employment intensity of growth (EIG) in the agriculture, industry and service sectors in Nigeria from 1991 to 2019 within the context of Okun’s theory/law. Data from the 2020 World Development Indicators were employed for analysis, using elasticity procedure after decomposing the scope into different periods and regimes. The findings showed negative EIG in the agriculture and industrial sectors while the service sector returned positive EIG. Therefore, government should invest significantly in the service sector while the agricultural sector should be mechanized to boost output and supply of raw materials to industries to enhance employment generation.

In this 21st century, Lyophilization emerges to be a novel trend for the drying of pharmaceuticals and biological that are thermolabile or are unstable in aqueous form but stable for longer periods in their dried form. This article provides an overview on the process of lyophilization, how the freeze drying cycle is designed, discussing several important parameters which are important for understanding of this process as well as their role in the designing of an optimized freeze drying cycle, so that a robust and economical process of lyophilization can be developed which does not impact the product quality. It also describes the use of this process in various industries.

The state and contradictions of the development of the agricultural sector of the national economy are investigated. Challenges at the micro-, macro- and global levels for the agricultural sector in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic have been identified. It is noted that the main problems for the domestic agricultural sector in a pandemic were: reducing the purchasing power of the population, limiting the functioning of agri-food markets during quarantine, complicating the logistics of agricultural products. It is established that changes in the markets of countries that are major importers of agricultural products from Ukraine (China, India, the EU, Turkey, Egypt) in a pandemic will have the greatest impact on the development of Ukraine’s agricultural sector. It is concluded that among all sectors of the national economy, agriculture is the least affected by quarantine restrictions. It is shown that small and medium-sized farms suffer the greatest losses in a pandemic. The tasks facing agricultural enterprises and the state in the conditions of a pandemic are determined. The strategic directions of agricultural policy in Ukraine are indicated.

Abstract The global process of digital transformation of the economic space currently involves all industries. The introduction of digital technologies and platform solutions into the activities of enterprises in the agricultural sector is a strategically important task to ensure the country’s food security, the solution of which is being carried out within the framework of the national project “Digital Agriculture.” The relevance and the need for digital transformation of agriculture and the food industry are due to the new capabilities of managing agro-industrial complexes, as well as the modern conditions for the formation and realization of their development potential. The research focuses on instruments of digitalization of agriculture as a way of innovative optimization of its development. The efficiency of introducing digital innovations and information technologies into agriculture is based on improving the efficiency of production processes, organizing and managing an agricultural enterprise, taking into account the elimination of targeted conflicts, while achieving a balance of productivity and environmental friendliness of technological processes. This approach to the digital transformation of the agricultural sector will contribute to the qualitative restructuring of all production and organizational processes, which will ultimately create the prerequisites for increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of agriculture as a whole.
