Abstract:
The article considers the possibility of organizing digital city farming in the regions of Russia, using
hydroponics, aeroponics, and aquaponics, as part of the implementation of social entrepreneurship. The
strengths of city farming are noted, as well as the problematic points, that arise when cultivating crops without
soil in urban conditions. The authors pay special attention to the characteristics of the social entrepreneur of
the future, noting, that in the context of digitalization and globalization of the economy, he must constantly
look for new solutions, bright ideas, competitive projects, aimed at solving social problems and providing
support to socially vulnerable and seeking help people. The article focuses on the sustainable development of
Russian regions by means of implementing digital city farming projects, which not only ensure food security
of the regions of our state, but also create conditions for the implementation of an import substitution policy.
