Problems of integrated rural territory development

Ensuring food security of the Russian Federation is possible only through sustainable integrated rural development. The government has set a strategic goal to double its export volume to $ 45 billion by 2024. Its achievement is to be carried out by the workers of the agricultural complex. Therefore, the creation of effective jobs, the employment of young professionals, a decent level of wages, comfortable living, and the development of social infrastructure are key areas of work for government bodies at all levels and for private business in the form of public-private partnerships. The development of a program for the integrated development of rural territories became objectively necessary. After discussion and debate in the Government of the federal level and in the regions, on forum and public platforms, it was approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 696 of May 31, 2019. The goals of the state program in the near future are to maintain the share of the rural population in the total population of the Russian Federation at the level of 25.3%; achieving a ratio of average monthly disposable incomes of rural and urban households up to 80%; an increase in the share of the total area of comfortable residential premises in rural settlements to 50%. The state program is designed until 2025 and is based on target indicators of the federal program "Social Development of the Village", as well as the subprogram and departmental target program "Sustainable Development of Rural Areas". It is based on the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas of the Russian Federation until 2030. Each subject has its own territorial features. Based on the materials of the Penza region, the problems of the integrated development of rural territories are identified and the main priorities are identified.
