The innovative way to ensure transparency of agricultural insurance in Russia and abroad

Introduction: in the process of implementation of the legal relations under the contract of agricultural insurance common questions and disputes inevitably arise, such as the ones related to both the assessment of the risk of the object of insurance, and the subsequent analysis of the insured event. Such disputes both at the stage of conclusion of the insurance contract and in the process of its execution can and should be avoided using the modern technologies that ensure the “transparency” of legal relations between the parties. One of these technologies is space monitoring, which allows us to effectively and unambiguously resolve these disputes, providing timely and reliable information about the state of agricultural land, weather conditions and other data. What is the global experience of using this innovation? Is this experience of this country in the field of agricultural insurance in demand? The authors have tried to give the answers to these and other questions by means of the present scientific research. Methods: the methodological framework for this study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main are the methods of consistency, analysis and the comparative law method. Results: the analysis of introducing the innovations in the field of agricultural insurance, namely, space monitoring in the North American continent, in Europe, India, China and other countries, as well as the genesis of the use of these technologies in this country, is conducted. Conclusions: it is established that the data of the Earth remote sensing serve as “transparency” of the legal relations of the parties to the agricultural insurance contract, in whose connection this innovation should be enshrined in the current legislation of the Russian Federation.
