Trends in spatial changes in rural areas

Abstract

Relevance. The agro-industrial complex is a key one in the system of economic development of the Russian Federation. However, the level of development of rural areas leads to an outflow of specialists from this sector of the economy. This is a significant problem at the current stage of development of the domestic economy.
Methods. Materials: monographic studies, scientific publications of domestic and foreign authors, statistical data, materials of the legislative framework. The research process used methods of theoretical generalization, synthesis, induction, deduction, complexity, concretization and extrapolation of scientific knowledge.
Results. For 2010–2020 there was no significant improvement in the quality of the social infrastructure of rural areas, so this measure by the government is logical, given the importance of the agro-industrial complex for the domestic economy. In addition to the fact that a significant number of citizens of our country work in this sector of the economy, agricultural products are the key to ensuring the country's food security, in a tense situation in the external environment. It should be noted that the economy of the Russian Federation is under pressure from the sanctions of foreign countries, and armed conflicts are taking place in the border states. Accordingly, investing in the development of infrastructure in rural areas is a necessary measure to preserve the independence of the country.
