Abstract: Nowadays ensuring the country's food security is one of the most important issues facing the state. Modern realities form the features of the agro-industrial complex transformation, primarily related to the digitalization of socio-economic processes, defining new requirements for the human capital of the sectors of the agro-industrial complex. The issues of formation and development of human capital are especially acute in agriculture, because significant part of agriculture works can be carried out in rural areas. The article provides an analysis of approaches to the development of human capital in the context of the agriculture digital transformation, especially at the regional level, since regions have different industry orientations, as well as differences in socio-economic and natural-geographical conditions. The authors focus on the issue of the need for human capital in agriculture and rural areas in industrial regions, which is associated with a high degree of urbanization, aging of rural personnel, as well as the low popularity of agricultural education. The authors have identified the features of the formation of human capital in industrial regions based on the materials of the Kemerovo region – Kuzbass. As a result of the study, demographic features were identified that reflect the problem of the staffing of the agro-industrial complex: a low proportion of the rural population and a reduced reproduction of the rural population. The decline in the population under the age of working age is increasing. There was an increase in demand for specialists with higher education in the type of economic activity "agriculture, forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming" with developed digital competencies. The article suggests measures aimed at the formation of the agriculture human capital in the industrial region. They should include two broadened areas: measures to reduce disparities in the development of rural and urban settlements and measures focused on the development of the human potential.
