The purpose of the study is to determine the sufficiency of measures to support and stimulate innovation in the agricultural sector of Russia to ensure its sustainable development. To determine the information base, a search was used by keywords using general scientific research methods, as well as their expert selection, analysis, comparison and systematization was performed. To identify regulatory legal acts that govern innovation activities, a keyword search was used, the keywords were selected by an expert method. The identified documents were textual and logical analyzed and structuring by a graphical method to facilitate further analysis were performed. Analysis revealed that there are no separate programs aimed at the growth of innovative activity in the agricultural sector, but support is provided for by the activities of state programs and national projects. A number of national projects and programs are being implemented that are focused on achieving national goals, scientific and technological development, development of territories, and stimulation of innovative and entrepreneurial initiatives. Support measures under these programs and projects contribute to the development of innovation activities and the organization of highly productive, efficient and resource-saving agricultural production. Because stimulation of innovation activities in many countries is a factor that determines the global competitiveness of national economies, the sustainable development of the agricultural sector and the introduction of resource-saving techniques taking into account environmental protection, study of potential measures to support innovation in the industry is both timely, and relevant and will contribute to the growth of innovation activity. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of support measures within the framework of programs and national projects for the presence of activities that provide support for innovation in agriculture, as well as the development of territories and scientific and technological progress, upgrading of production and forcing the entrepreneurial initiative.
