Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify elements of international methodological approaches to food security assessment and forecasting based on digital technologies that can be used to develop a comprehensive dynamic model at the regional level. A comparative analysis of two methodological paradigms was conducted: a quantitative approach based on machine learning ensemble models and hybrid neural network architecture, and a qualitative-quantitative approach based on fuzzy structural modeling of Agriculture 4.0 drivers. The findings show that both approaches reach similar conclusions about the key role of automation as a basic condition for digital transformation in the agricultural sector and the positive impact of artificial intelligence on food security. Through the synthesis of both paradigms, three model elements were identified: a current state assessment module, a scenario forecasting module, and an uncertainty accounting module. The necessary adaptations for applying this experience to Russian conditions were determined, using an industrial-type region with spatial differentiation as an example
