Prospects for applying a spatial approach to regulating the development of the national FoodNet market in the context of digitalization

Studying the features of the formation and development of the national FoodNet market in the context of federal districts in the context of digital transformation is of particular interest in light of the high differentiation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the growing digital divide between them. The aim of the article is to reveal conceptual-theoretical and applied aspects of the formation and development of the national FoodNet market in the context of digital transformation. In order to coordinate the spatial management of the national FoodNet market and clarify the understanding of agricultural integration and digital development, the authors of the article developed a model for constructing an interconnected model for coordinating the processes of digitalization of agriculture in the regions of the Russian Federation. The fundamental mechanisms of the digital economy and their spatial impact on the high-quality growth of the national FoodNet market are considered, and the indices of agricultural production and digital economy are evaluated. The empirical study was conducted using data from each federal district from 2010 to 2022 as the initial sample. The data obtained indicate that until 2015, in all federal districts, the degree of coordination of the development of agricultural sectors and the digital economy was less than 0.2. The digital adoption rate showed a moderate growth trend from 2016 to 2020, increasing by 583,33 % from 2010 to 2022, indicating that as the digital economy expands, the agricultural services sector is also developing in a qualitative manner. The authors proposed a number of measures to manage the processes of transformation of national agriculture to solve the problems of food security in the constituent entities of the federal districts of the Russian Federation.
