Abstract: The research targets define the tasks of preserving and maintaining stability in the domestic market and self-sufficiency in food in the long term. This is especially relevant in the context of determining new trends in the development of agriculture and searching for effective forms of management in the new conditions. Digitalization is a kind of technological solution to the social problems of agricultural production, including the production and sale of food, the welfare and development of rural areas, and the control of the environmental impact of various farming methods. The introduction of digital technologies, first of all, will have a positive impact on the development of the farming sector, as it will allow farmers to manage land, animals and agricultural personnel more effectively. The next trend in the spatial development of rural areas is agglomeration forms based on the creation of associations in the form of cooperatives, associations or unions. When forming and developing a modern village, large cooperatives created by leading farmers become real competitors for large private companies and agricultural holdings. The study was based on the analysis of statistical data for the Saratov region. As a result, the identified trends in the transformation of agriculture should contribute to the revival of the village, solving its social problems, maintaining a healthy and eco-friendly lifestyle, and developing regional markets (including organic products).
