Dear authors and readers! The first issue of the new electronic scientific polythematic journal "Daghestan GAU Proceedings" has been published. The magazine is more dedicated to agricultural issues, which confirms the profile of the Dagestan State Agrarian University.

As you know, agriculture is a strategically important sector of the economy, on the state of which the food security of the state depends. This industry is aimed at providing the population with food and obtaining raw materials for a number of industries. The industry is one of the most important, represented in almost all countries of the world. About 1 billion economically active people are employed in world agriculture. The problems of agriculture are directly or indirectly related to such sciences as agronomy, veterinary medicine, animal husbandry, land reclamation, crop production, food technology, economics, engineering, etc.

The publication of the journal was preceded by the painstaking work of the editorial staff and the editorial board related to the study of the concept of the journal, its state registration, the creation of a special Internet resource, the collection, reviewing, editing and publishing of scientific papers.

The first issue of the journal contains 44 articles on agricultural problems; ways of their solution are given and the issues of innovative development of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Dagestan and Russia as a whole are highlighted.

All works bear the stamp of scientific novelty, relevance and self-sufficiency. It is nice that among the authors of our journal there are young beginner researchers - students, undergraduates and graduate students who, on the pages of their articles, share the results of their creative work with the scientific world. The authors of the first issue were also scientists who have already achieved certain successes in the scientific field - these are candidates, doctors of sciences, university professors and experts in various fields of agriculture. All of them are united by a love of studies and a desire to bring the results of their research to the world scientific community.

Judging by the geography of the authors, we can say with confidence that the journal "Daghestan GAU Proceedings" is acquiring an international format. The first issue included articles by researchers from Russia, the CIS countries and Azerbaijan.

Today, our journal has ambitious goals aimed at developing modern agricultural knowledge and international scientific cooperation using the latest advances in information technology. Our journal is open for intellectual discussions and exchange of views on a wide range of scientific issues. I am sure that the electronic scientific journal "Daghestan GAU Proceedings" will become an interesting and informative international platform for discussing the topical issues related to the development of modern science.

I express my sincere gratitude to the editorial staff, editorial board, authors, and, of course, readers of the first issue for their interest and active participation in the development of the journal from the very first steps of its formation. I invite all colleagues from the regions of Russia, countries of the near and far abroad to even more active cooperation.

I wish all authors and readers of the journal creative success and new achievements on the way of studying, researching, developing and introducing new innovative technologies for the development of the agricultural sector of our great Russia!

Good luck!
