Agriculture is the main resource component of food processing enterprises. It is necessary to find lines of contact between industry and agriculture. Such a connection can be seen in the development of cross-cutting scientific and technological areas, which include diverse modeling, the use of advanced planning methods, artificial intelligence (AI) systems and everything that is understood as digital technologies. Small and large businesses are making an active transition to digital technology. Industrial companies are rapidly advancing in the field of AI, investing in research and development in the field of industrial Internet. In this regard, smart agriculture is also coming to the fore. The docking of food processing industry, agriculture and business is the introduction of information technology in the agro-industrial complex (AIC). The comprehensive digitalization of agricultural production, from cultivation, harvesting and storage of crops to its delivery to a processing plant with subsequent processing, is a modern view of doing business. The article discusses the parametric optimization of a two-product workshop for the production of sugar. A mathematical model of the optimization process is proposed, and its numerical solution. The task of parametric optimization is to choose from a set of possible control actions a certain set of alternative options with a constant structure of the technological process. To solve the optimization problem, we used the method of extrapolation of expert estimates with non-transitive preferences.

The modern educational system has passed the active phase of computerization and informatisation. Humanity has entered to the era of digitalization. The information component in politics and economics is in the process of strengthening in the modern world. Digital economy is not only the foundation for creating new business models, the nature of doing business, its manageability and flexibility, qualitative changes in business models, but also it affects the fundamental foundations of civilization. Due to the trend towards digitalization of the economy, the requirements for the level of education at universities are increasing significantly. The article discusses the construction of individual educational trajectories of students, the development of integration projects "schooluniversityenterprise", as a result of which we will get a modern system of professional self-determination of students and the development of potential teachers for the "digital university". The article explores the changes that digitalization of the economy makes in the cultural and educational sphere of human life. The authors concluded that Russia has all the necessary prerequisites for the further implementation of digital acceleration and the potential for digitalization of the economy. New technologies will have a great impact on the development of state and business administration, the growth of the quality of life, the emergence of new forms of people's socialization, their skills and communication culture. Russia has the necessary scientific and intellectual base. There are many original technological solutions for making an effective infrastructure of digital economy.
