Abstract: The evolution of technological achievements in agriculture has been summarized based on their development from traditional systems to the concepts of “Agricultural 5.0” and “Agricultural 6.0”, innovative products of their implementation are highlighted. The concept of “Agriculture 4.0” and its main tools are highlighted: sensor technologies, high-speed mobile communications, big data analytics, sensor technologies, artificial intelligence, robotics. It is emphasized that digital agriculture includes digital and geospatial technologies for monitoring, assessing and managing soil, climate and genetic resources, and the digital data generated by them is a type of business resource. It is argued that digital technologies have combined all technological processes of agri-food production and goods movement into an integrated value chain, which has changed the implementation of business processes. The positive and negative impacts of digitalization on the resulting indicators of agricultural development are summarized. It is substantiated that the concept of «Agricultural 5.0» is a new approach to the development of agriculture, the main technological solutions of which are the robotics use, technologies of «augmented or augmented reality», 6G technologies, AI, big data, biotechnology, microrobots, biological robotic systems. The impact of this model on increasing the efficiency of production activities, implementing the principles of sustainable development, improving technological processes, minimizing losses in technological processes, food waste at the consumption stage, as well as the introduction of methods for controlling emissions of harmful substances is systematized. The promising concept of «Agricultural 6.0» of integrative agriculture and its main elements are characterized: regenerative farming systems, circular economy, biorevolution, biofuels and bioenergy, carbon credits, etc. It is proven that this model contributes to achieving the sustainability of agricultural production and increasing human well-being based on the rational and sustainable use of natural resources. It is emphasized that domestic agricultural production is at the stage of transition to a digital agriculture model, which involves changes in practices and methods of implementing technological operations at the level of all participants in the agri-food supply chain. It is substantiated that the strategic development of Ukrainian agriculture should be oriented towards the implementation of modern innovative models, which requires the development of appropriate strategic programs with an effective set of organizational and economic tools and measures to achieve innovative and sustainable development of the industry. Key words: smart agriculture, digital agriculture, precision agriculture, digital technologies, sustainable development, renewable technologies, bioeconomy, circular economy.
