Abstract
The strategic goals of Russia’s agricultural development until 2030 are to increase food security, agricultural exports, involve new land in agricultural circulation, and introduce digital services. Achieving the goals requires flexible policies aimed not only at increasing agricultural production, but also at increasing social and environmental sustainability.
The article is devoted to the problem of socio-environmental transformation (transition) of agriculture. This transformation is an important condition for achieving strategic goals for the development of the industry, including ensuring sustainable food security.
The purpose of the study is to develop an approach for comparing the types of regions based on the calculation of a comprehensive index of socio-ecological transformation of agriculture. In the course of the work, methods of logical and comparative analysis were used, as well as methods of processing statistical information, such as constructing factorial combinational and typological groupings, index analysis, etc. The calculation of social and ecological subindexes has been carried out, on the basis of which a comprehensive index of socio-ecological transformation of agriculture has been calculated. The study identified types (groups) of regions that are homogeneous in terms of social and environmental conditions. The economic characteristics of the selected groups of subjects of the Russian Federation are given.
Based on the calculations carried out, the authors revealed the interdependence of the social, environmental and economic aspects of agricultural development. The results of this study are significant for the implementation of a differentiated agrarian policy and targeted state support for various regions groups.
