Priorities and Mechanisms of Agricultural Development in Russia and Its Regions in The New Reality

In the  new  geopolitical reality, the  problem  of ensuring  food  security  has  become  more acute both in the whole  world and in Russia.  The  Government  of the Russian  Federation has taken  a number  of short-term measures  to stimulate  agriculture and stabilize the food market.  However, there  are  a  number  of risks  and  threats  to the  agrarian  economy  in the medium  and  long term (insufficient  level of development  of the I sphere of the agroindustrial  complex, which  supplies agriculture with  means of production and material  and technical resources; dependence on imported technologies; unbalanced  institutional structure of agriculture; weak  diversification  of the rural economy  and  lagging social sphere of the village). The article analyzes these risks and threats on the basis of international and domestic statistics, including  the specifics of their manifestation  in the context  of the subjects of the Russian  Federation.  The  directions of agrarian policy are considered  in order to mitigate the mentioned  threats, including  measures  for the development  of agricultural science and commercialization of its results, stimulation of small business in the agro-industrial complex and agricultural cooperation, sustainable  development  of rural areas.
