Abstract: Digital transformation is the transition of digitalization of production and management in agriculture to a qualitatively new level. Digital transformation expands the possibilities of effective adaptation of feed production to regional and local conditions of agriculture, optimal implementation of economies of scale and intensification in the zone of risky farming, to ongoing and possible, predictable and probabilistic changes in the external and internal environment, including climatic, technological, demographic, social and institutional. A long-term analysis of the process and results of the production of feed from perennial grasses, carried out on the example of farms in the Leningrad region, revealed an insufficient level of adaptation of feed production to local agro-climatic, production and economic conditions, direct dependencies of losses of harvesting volumes and feed quality due to deviations in the parameters of the production process when making operational, tactical and strategic decisions from optimal ones. The development of the scientific foundations of digital transformation for the effective development of adaptive feed production in the North-West of Russia can accelerate the processes of database formation, the use of neural networks and machine learning in diagnosing problems and solving problems, will increase the pace, efficiency and sustainability of innovation and investment development of dairy cattle, taking into account local opportunities and limitations in accordance with the global ESG agenda.
