Cognitive Model of Regional Agricultural Sector

In this article, the authors suggest complementing the strategical management methods for the agricultural sector of the region with cognitive modeling technologies. In particular, they developed an integrated cognitive management model comprising two identifying models: the cognitive model of the research subject (the regional agricultural sector) and the cognitive model of the environment (the static model of the region's agricultural sector), as well as the dynamic cognitive model that allows for the modeling of controlling actions in the sector and assess the results of management decisions. The practical significance of the research lies in the formalization of the management decision-making to implement the model when creating a digital twin of the industry on the digital communications platform for the region's agricultural sector. The model is versatile because it can be used to model strategic control actions in any of the regions of Russia. One of the drawbacks of this model is the use of the expert approach because of its subjectivity.
