FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRATEGY OF MODERNIZATION OF THE AGROINDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND ECONOMIC CHALLENGES

Modern climatic changes and global economic challenges pose the task of modernization for the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan. With the growing global demand for food and increasing environmental risks, the sustainable development of agriculture is becoming strategically important.
The purpose of the study is to identify the key elements of the agro–industrial complex modernization strategy aimed at adapting to climate change and overcoming economic challenges.
The research is based on the analysis of statistical data, scientific publications and examples of successful practices from international experience. As part of the work, the main problems of the Kazakh agro-industrial complex were identified, including soil degradation, reduced yields, water scarcity and high dependence on climatic conditions.
At the same time, internal and external factors affecting the industry's development were analysed, including price instability in global markets, limited access to finance, and the need for digital transformation.
The results of the study show that an effective modernization strategy should include the following key areas:
The introduction of sustainable technologies, including the transition to precision farming systems, the use of energy- and water-saving technologies, and the development of organic agriculture.
Digitalization of the industry: creation of platforms for monitoring and managing agricultural production, the use of drones, satellite data and IoT to improve the accuracy of operations.
Strengthening government support: developing incentives for farmers and businesses adopting environmentally friendly technologies, including tax incentives and subsidies.
Development of the processing and storage infrastructure, which will ensure a reduction in crop losses and an increase in export potential.
The scientific novelty of the research lies in the development of an integrated approach to the modernization of agriculture, which combines technological innovations, adaptation to climate change and economic sustainability.
