ANALYTICAL REVIEW OF STRATEGIC PLANNING DOCUMENTS FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

The authors have identified and considered in detail the most significant programs and strategies at various levels (federal, departmental, regional), which makes it possible to assess the completeness of the measures taken and identify the barriers to the effective development of agriculture at a specific level. At the regional level, the implemented programs are presented using the example of the Leningrad region, which was chosen due to the fact that it is the most active entity in the Non-Chernozem region, which, despite the lack of highly fertile soils, is a leader in the production of products in certain agricultural sectors, and also successfully implements initiatives of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia. The results of the implementation of strategies and programs have been analyzed, statistical data have confirmed the existence of problems and the insufficient effectiveness of the measures taken, as the negative trend regarding the state of agriculture and rural development has increased in recent years. Specific measures aimed at integrated rural development and sustainable agricultural development are proposed.
