CLIMATE-RESILIENT INNOVATIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF QUALITY 5.0 OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS: DIGITAL HORIZON OF FOOD SECURITY Elena G. Popkova, Rustam R. Rashidov, Polina V. Tokareva, Alexey V. Tolmachev, Dmitriy A. Loginov, Vera A. Tikhomirova Proceedings on Engineering Sciences, 2026 The activities of farms relate to the need for integrating the concept of managing Quality 5.0 of agricultural products as a digital horizon of food security and economic stability. The management of Quality 5.0 in the conditions of smart agriculture is accompanied by the consideration of the components of the Fifth Industrial Revolution. The basis of managing Quality 5.0 to support food security is the productivity of smart systems for process management and their adaptation to existing conditions. The presented list of smart technological innovations is the current foundation for farms’ transition from technologization (at the level of managing Quality 4.0) to the intellectualisation of agriculture (in the context of managing Quality 5.0). We revealed that most of the given innovations include technological and HR components, which interact to create the optimal organisation of managing Quality 5.0 of agricultural products. All considered innovations could be used separately and in a set of smart systems of precision farming. We substantiated their advantages compared to technologies, methods, and approaches used in the conditions of traditional agriculture. The goal of this paper was to establish the list of climate-resilient innovations in the management of Quality 5.0 of agricultural products, which support the digital perspective of food security. The novel aspect of this research lies in the determination of the barriers to implementing smart digital technological solutions for managing Quality 5.0 and the establishment of opportunities to overcome them.
IMPORTANCE OF SUNFLOWER OIL EXPORT FROM RUSSIA IN SUPPLY FORMATION ON THE GLOBAL EDIBLE OIL MARKET Vera A. Tikhomirova Advances in Business Marketing and Purchasing, 2023 Abstract Purpose This research is devoted to studying the dynamics of the commodity structure of the world edible oils market in 2001–2021, with subsequent identification of the role and importance of export deliveries of Russian products in the formation of global mechanisms of supply and demand in the segment. Design/Methodology/Approach In the process of writing the chapter, the author used functional and mathematical analysis, statistical and computational-constructive methods, and customs statistics data from reputable international organisations and national statistical bodies. Comparing the obtained results with relevant scientific studies provides a high level of reliability of the results of this research. Findings Russia is currently the world's second-largest sunflower oil producer. In the near future, the country has significant potential to become the largest supplier of this product, which can significantly contribute to stabilising supply in the global edible oil market. Originality/Value Based on the analysis of the dynamics of change in the statistics, it is substantiated that as a result of the implementation of a balanced state policy, in two decades, Russia managed to overcome a large-scale crisis in agro-industrial production, significantly reduced its dependence on imports of oil and fat products and is currently one of the world's leading producers of sunflower oil, which allows it to play an important role in shaping supply on the world market of oil and fat products.
Digitalization as a factor in improving the competitiveness of the national economy: Opportunities and prospects for the agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation Vera A. Tikhomirova Digital Technologies for Entrepreneurship in Industry 4 0, 2022 The need for the transition of the Russian agro-industrial complex to a qualitatively new level of technological development, which fully meets the current challenges and contradictions, has become more apparent. The research presents a review of the most promising innovative technologies of agro-industrial production, the introduction of which in the Russian AIC will increase the competitiveness of Russian food on the foreign market, positively affect the efficiency of environmental management, and reduce anthropogenic risks. The consideration of the advanced foreign experience in improving the sustainability of national food systems through the use of innovations in the resource provision of food production, expanding the use of remote channels of sale of food products, digitalization of customs procedures, and monitoring the safety and quality of goods in the implementation of export-import operations allowed the author to identify the most pressing areas of the Russian economy and propose a set of measures that can be used during the creation of a national food ecosystem.
