Abstract: The article explores integrating innovative technologies into the security systems of the agricultural business. The emphasis is placed on using the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, robotics, Big Data, and automated systems to enhance the agricultural sector’s efficiency, resilience, and competitiveness. The study examines modern trends in agriculture, including precision farming, digitalization of business processes, environmental safety, and social responsibility. Key risks affecting the agricultural business are identified, and tools for addressing these risks are proposed. Special attention is given to the role of technologies in adapting to new challenges, such as climate change, economic instability, and wartime disruptions. The application of innovative approaches facilitates optimizing resource use, reducing costs, increasing productivity, and ensuring process transparency. For example, IoT and sensor technologies enable real-time soil, crops, and environmental monitoring, improving operational efficiency and resource management. Drones are highlighted as a tool for aerial monitoring, crop assessment, and targeted spraying, significantly decreasing pesticide use and labor costs. Big Data analytics help farmers make informed decisions by analyzing vast datasets to optimize operational expenses and enhance efficiency. Blockchain technology, conversely, ensures transparency in supply chains, reducing losses during transportation and increasing consumer trust. Robotics is actively used in harvesting, soil preparation, and product sorting, reducing dependence on manual labor and improving productivity. The findings underline how modern technologies are reshaping agriculture, allowing businesses to adapt to new challenges, reduce costs, and enhance the agricultural sector’s competitiveness. The results of this study can be utilized in developing strategies for the sustainable growth of the agricultural business, considering current global trends and challenges. Keywords: innovative technologies, security systems, agricultural business, integration, risk management.
