Digital technologies are entering our lives in all spheres. They get as well actively applied in agriculture, which is an inextricable part of the Chelyabinsk region. South Ural State University makes special contribution into development of crop cultivation in the region. Geoinformation Systems Research and Education Centre (GIS REC) at SUSU is working on digitalization of the region’s territory in order for a more rational use of land resources, and is planning to make a digital map of the Southern Ural in 2019.
