The article analyzes negative environmental consequences of wasteful land use in Russia, which threatens food security of the country, leads to deepening the environmental crisis, the degradation of the steppe landscapes and loss of the unique steppe biota. The necessity of developing innovative methods for the restoration and rational use of soil and biological resources to provide effective agriculture is substantiated in the article. The prospects for the digital transformation of agriculture are considered within the framework of the comprehensive scientific and technical projects “Digital Land Use” and “Digital Technologies in Agricultural Management”.

The wide possibilities of intellectual “digital technologies” in the transformation of land use and the transfer of crop production in the way of balanced and rational environmental management are shown.

The attention is focused on the integration of “digital technologies” into landscape adaptive farming of the steppe zone, that will reduce the cost of production per unit of production, will ensure the sustainable use of soil and land resources and will reduce the anthropogenic load on the steppe landscapes. The problems that impede the efficient implementation of “digital technologies” and which demand an organizational support at the state level are analyzed. The issues of developing additional programs of higher and postgraduate education for training and retraining of a relevant type, to create a network of regional training centers and scientific and technical bases for training are discussed.
