Formation of an agricultural educational, scientific and production cluster (agrotechnopark)

Based on the analysis of the composition and functional features of agrotechnoparks and agro-industrial clusters, the authors for the first time give an original definition of the concept of "agricultural educational, scientific and production cluster" (agricultural ESPC), defining it as a complex territorial entity, including the unification of its functional parts, allowing on the basis of a synergetic effect to solve the tasks set locally. tasks. The description of the project for the formation of an agricultural ESPC on the basis of the scientific and production base "Chkalovskaya" of the State University of Land Use Planning is presented. The necessity of the formation of an agricultural ESPC within the framework of the development of a special land management project is substantiated. Among the specific features of this land management project, the need is noted: 1) evaluating the effectiveness of each functional part of the agricultural ESPC, both separately from each other and in combination to identify a synergetic effect; 2) using qualimetric indicators to assess current changes and deferred design effects in the analysis of agricultural and natural risks; 3) using as the main goal of the project is not economic efficiency, but aggregate goal setting, ensuring the formation of natural and cultural development of the territory. In conclusion, the authors note that the creation of educational, scientific and production clusters in agricultural universities of the country currently ensures the formation of a synergetic effect in the educational process, which has a key practical significance.
