Abstract: Based on a preliminarily developed concept of scientific and technological progress in the agricultural sector, the article presents the principles of the innovation strategy for agriculture. The contradictory nature of scientific and technological progress is shown, when innovations in response to certain challenges in food production lead to the creation or intensification of other challenges. The proposed innovation strategy for agriculture, built on this contradiction, argues that the challenges contained in innovations represent an opportunity for the formation of new markets. A key role in the strategy is assigned to the government, which, according to the mission-oriented approach, in the process of creating new markets of great public importance, often acts as the investor of first resort and takes on the bulk of the risk. The success of the implementation of the strategy consists in the formation of new market niches from government-supported innovations—even without changing the current technological paradigm of agriculture. The article also formulates the innovation strategy for Russian agriculture: national and global challenges for agricultural production are examined; active government support for the development of domestic innovations in digital agriculture, green agriculture, organic agriculture, climate-smart agriculture, and modern methods of plant and animal breeding is recommended.
