Annotation Digitalization makes it possible to expand the opportunities of the agricultural sector, including agricultural production, to increase the efficiency of resource use. With its help, the efficiency of agricultural production is increased due to the optimal planning of the crops’ structure, automation of plants’ irrigation and extra-feed feeding, digital modeling of crop yields, feed ration optimization of farm animals. However, domestic agriculture, which is in dire need of new sources of growth productivity, has so far made little use of these opportunities. The main reasons for this are the high cost of introducing digital technologies into production and the lack of employees \' skills and competencies to work with digital technologies. The article analyzes the level of agriculture digitalization in Russia. The main problems hindering the development of digital agriculture in our country, one of which is human capital, are highlighted. On the basis of the survey of students of different faculties of the branch University the basic competences which, in their opinion, will be in demand in the farms using digital technologies are allocated. A list of skills and competencies that will be essential for the implementation of production in the digital agriculture
Key words Key words: digitalization, agriculture, human capital, competences, skills, hard skills, soft skills
