International experience in developing innovative potential in agriculture and the possibilities of its adaptation in the conditions of the Russian Federation

This article examines key aspects of developing agricultural innovation potential based on a study of international experience. It focuses on countries that have achieved the greatest success in agricultural modernization: the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, China, and Brazil. It analyzes institutional models, government support instruments, and forms of interaction between science and business, as well as the role of farms and private companies in promoting agricultural innovation. It also examines the mechanisms of digitalization in agriculture, including the use of precision farming technologies, automated monitoring systems, drones, AI solutions, and biotechnology. It demonstrates that the successful development of innovative potential requires a comprehensive approach, including infrastructure development, R&D incentives, human resource support, and technology transfer. Particular attention is paid to agroparks, clusters, and competence centers, which serve as the link between science and production. The role of advisory services and farmer training programs is also considered. The elements most relevant for adaptation in Russian regions, including the Republic of Buryatia, were identified. A conclusion was reached regarding the need to develop a multi-component system to support innovative development of the agro-industrial complex, taking into account the specific characteristics of the regions, sustainability priorities, and modern technological trends. The obtained results can be used for strategic planning and improving regional agricultural policy.
