Methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of land use in the context of digitalization of the agricultural sector

the article examines the methodology for assessing the economic efficiency of land resource use in the context of agricultural sector digitalization. The relevance of implementing digital technologies to increase agricultural productivity, optimize land use, and reduce transaction costs is demonstrated. The necessity of a comprehensive approach to evaluating digitalization efficiency, taking into account economic, social, and environmental factors, is substantiated. The empirical base of the study includes data from Rosstat, the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, and international organizations, as well as the results of expert surveys. Methods of economic and statistical analysis, comparative analysis, modeling, integral assessment, and expert evaluations were used. It was found that investments in digital technologies provide a multiplicative effect, expressed in increased yields, reduced costs, and improved profitability. At the same time, regional differences in the level of digital maturity of the agricultural sector were revealed, which requires consideration of territorial specifics when developing digitalization programs. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the proposed methodology to develop strategies for rational land use and enhance the sustainability of agricultural production.
