The role of labor motivation in solving the problem of food security

Ensuring the outstripping growth rates of the agro-industrial complex is impossible without formation of an effective mechanism for motivating the work of human resources. The development trends of the agrarian sector of the Orel region for 2005-2021 are highlighted; the ratio of the labor productivity level in the industry with the target indicators of the national project "Labor Productivity and Employment Support" is analyzed. There are certain parameters for its implementation in the social and economic mechanism of the agrarian labor motivation. The solution of the problem of the country's food security, along with the change in managerial mechanisms at all levels of the government, technical and technological modernization of the agro-industrial complex based on the digital economy, will largely depend on the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the human resources, as well as on the level of productivity and labor motivation. This necessitates strengthening the significance of these indicators both in program documents for the development of the agro-industrial complex and in analytical reports.
