Digital technologies in forestry

Abstract

Abstract In Russia today, one of the national development goals is the development of the introduction of digital technologies in the economy and social sphere. The national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”, as well as the introduction of digital technologies as a national development priority, raised the relevance of these issues to a high political level. This is an example of a national goal implemented on the basis of the principle of project management and requiring a significant investment of budgetary funds. In this article, the process of introducing digital technologies in the forestry industry is considered on the basis of the application of N Venkatraman’s model, and their effectiveness is proved. The main result presented in this article is the evidence base for the need to introduce digital technologies at enterprises for the further development of the industry; examples of the use of new achievements, both in forestry and in the forest industry, are considered, and some difficulties in their application are shown.
