The consumption of food and its safety are important for human security. In this paper, we reviewed the literature on future possibilities for transforming the food system through digital solutions in the Barents region. Such digital solutions will make food business operators more efficient, sustainable, and transparent. Developing cross-border infrastructures for digitalization in the region will break the isolation of the local food system, thus simplifying the availability of processed, novel and safe traditional food products. It is necessary for food growers and processors to respond to the trends driven by consumers’ demand while ensuring their safety. Our review highlights the opportunities provided by digital technology to ensure safety and help food business operators predict consumer trends in the future. In addition, digitalization can create conditions that are necessary for the diversification of organizational schemes and the effective monitoring of food processing operations that will help to promote food and nutrition security in the Barents region.
The paper presents an architecture of the information system based on intellectual technologies aimed to serve information needs of heterogeneous users of an industrial enterprise. Technologies for automated creation of semantic model of the subject domain based on the principle "user as an expert" as well as the model of a user's mental stereotypes are discussed. To improve effectiveness of the system in sense of information search speed the authors propose techniques for synthesis of cognitive navigation interface and for information retrieval on the base of subtractive relation. The effectiveness of proposed technologies is confirmed by experiment.
