42. Rasul Balaev, Matlab Ali Zadeh, Sevda Haji Zadeh: Capabilities of Urbanizosiya
43. Processes Resilience in the Digital Environment

As an aspect of food security of the stability of urban processes, we think that issues of
provision of urban population with fresh food products should be considered. We have
studied the changes taking place in the zone of transportation of fresh food products to
Baku agglomeration. For this purpose, the “average weight of Transportation distance”
indicator (L) was proposed.

Here, n - indicates the number of product production points, mass of the product
produced in mi - i point and intended for transportation to the city (i=1, n), distance
from li-i point to the city (i=1, n). The L indicator allows you to determine the
degree of compactness of the transport zone to the city of food products that can not
be transported to a long distance and are quickly destroyed.

In order to determine the changes in the transport zone of milk (and a number of fresh
agricultural products) to agglomeration, the indicator “medium-weight transport
distance” was calculated. [Rasul A. Balayev (2007), p.233-234]. The calculations were
carried out in 1965, 1990, 2005 and 2019, on sales data.

L1965=163,0 km; L1990=167,0 km; L2005=165,0; L2019 =163,0 km

It seems that the indicator “average weight of milk transportation” to Baku
agglomeration received its previous price after 54 years, that is, in 2019 and 1965 it
was 163 km. The following factors contribute to the increase in the population of
agglomeration: For more than half a century, a more cautious attitude to fresh water
was formed in the food ration of the townspeople. The transition from a centralized
economy to market relations led to the formation of new dairy farms, taking into
account the proximity of the big city (market), while technology, including
information technology and distance factors came to the fore.

“The larger the enterprise, the easier it is to implement digital technologies. In this
regard, compared to small farms, large farms have advantages. Digital innovations and
technologies that lead to innovation cannot manifest themselves in scale, which in many
cases is characteristic of a small farmer's farm” [Никола М. Трендов и др. (2019).

Studies show that as Baku approaches agglomeration, the pace of digital environment
formation and development in the agrarian economy is increasing. This growth is
