Agriculture Intellectualization: Global Challenges and Effective Regulation

Abstract

The article discusses global challenges related to agriculture and food security, opportunities for intellectualization of agriculture and regulatory mechanisms. Especially recently global warming, environmental problems, abnormal natural phenomena, erosion of agricultural land (crops and pastures), accelerated urbanization, political and military wars, etc. poses a serious threat to the future of humanity. Currently, the only way to minimize the destructive effect of these threats is to intellectualize agriculture and its sub-sectors. Intellectualization of agriculture includes formation of human capital, efficient use of land (and water) resources, construction of production, supply, processing and logistics chain based on modern technologies. In research, we call it the RUPPL chain (RUPPL-resources, use, production, processing, logistics). Building this chain requires the right policy, time, investment and an effective regulatory mechanism. It should not be forgotten that the production, supply, storage and transportation of agricultural products are different from each other. From this point of view, the construction of the value chain in agriculture is also complex. In general, the value chain in agriculture is influenced by numerous economic and non-economic factors. Currently, there are serious problems related to human capital, infrastructure, socio-economic, political-military instability, technological innovation and financing in rural areas, especially in low and middle-low income countries. This makes the problem of food security relevant in the global world. The analysis shows that there is a relationship between income and the production and consumption of agricultural products. Adapting agricultural development in low- and low-middle-income countries to global challenges can reduce risks in this area. It could also stimulate economic recovery in low-income countries.
