A significant change associated with the implementation of information technology occur in the period of digitalization of economic processes in the Russian Federation in all areas of activity. In particular, agriculture is one of the most extensive areas in our country. This article discusses the tools to accelerate the digitization of agriculture -geographic information systems (GIS). An analysis of existing GIS in the context of agriculture, their capabilities, scope of application, functions is proposed. Trends in the development of global geographic information systems with a powerful analysis apparatus based on the collected data and visualization of results have been identified. The article establishes a shortage of specialized products to solve specific problems of the industry that do not require the study of a complex GIS apparatus, and an underestimation of the possibilities for the operational analysis of digital photographs. The prospects for the development of specialized geographic information systems are considered. The development of a GIS based on continuous monitoring of territories using quadrocopters, which will build an up-to-date map with the results of analyzing new data, identifying the areas of intervention required, for example, lack of fertilizer, watering, or fire identification is proposed.
