Rural local economy: specifics and actual problems of development in Russia

Alexander V. Petrikov

A.A. Nikonov VIAPI, branch of Federal Scientific Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas - VNIIESkH, Moscow, Russia

Abstract. In the context of a new geopolitical crisis, when global markets are working intermittently, the importance of regional and local economies is increasing. The local economy is characterized by relatively small volumes of economic turnover, their localization on a small territory (economic ties are largely established between local producers and consumers), the use of mainly internal development resources. This increases its sustainability and economic importance, especially in rural areas. The article examines the specifics of the rural local economy through the characteristics of its most important socio-economic functions: ensuring food security of the country, region, municipality, rural households; meeting the growing consumer demand for high-quality, including organic food; preserving the biodiversity of agrobiocenoses; reproduction of folk material and spiritual culture, cultural diversity of the country; increasing employment and the income of the rural population. The conclusion is substantiated that without the organization of an effective local economy, sustainable development of rural areas is not possible. Special attention in the article is paid to small business in agriculture. The tendencies of its development over the past five years are analyzed; the ways of solving the accumulated problems are substantiated.

Keywords: local economy, sustainable development of rural areas, agrarian policy, agricultural organizations, peasant (farmer) farms, individual entrepreneurs, personal subsidiary farms, the role of small business in the economy, subsidies, loans

Directions and effectiveness of state support of the agrarian economy

Ivan A. Minakov

Michurinsk State Agrarian University, Michurinsk, Tambov Region, Russia

Abstract. The system of state support of the agrarian economy (the amount of budget allocations from the federal budget, directions, measures and effectiveness), which contributed to the increase in the production of agricultural products and allowed to reach the threshold value of indicators of food independence for many food products with the exception of milk, potatoes, vegetables and fruits, is considered. It is noted that the production of agricultural products is carried out using imported material and technical resources, the share of which is slowly decreasing. The proposals for improving budget support for industries producing import-substituting products and means of production for agriculture, small forms of management, especially personal subsidiary farms, the development of the storage base of agricultural products in the places of its production are substantiated.

Keywords: agrarian economy, the volume of budget allocations, efficiency, food independence, directions and measures of state support

Abstract. The article deals with the problem of food losses and food waste at various stages of production and distribution chains as an integral part of global food and environmental problems, including its manifestation in the agro-industrial complex of Russia. The relevance of studying this topic is due to insufficient attention to it in our country from both the state and society. At the same time, food losses negatively affect the economy and the environment. The paper clarifies the concepts of “food losses” and “food waste”. Based on the analysis of research results and assessment of food losses, the causes of their occurrence are identified, as well as the main factors of the formation of food waste at the stages of marketing of food products are analyzed. Possible options for reducing losses and waste in the agro-food complex of the agro-industrial complex of Russia are proposed on the basis of: coordinating the work of government and business in this area; implementing investment projects to create the necessary infrastructure to avoid losses at the stages of production, transportation and storage of products; minimizing waste and loss of products with expiring shelf life due to technological and organizational solutions; attracting public attention and strengthening educational work in all layers of society, primarily among children and youth.

Keywords: global food problem, sustainable development goals, food products, supply chain, food losses, food waste, environmental damage, agro-food complex, Russia

Federal State Educational Institution of Higher Education «Omsk State Agrarian University named after P.A. Stolypin», Omsk, Russia

Abstract. The solution of the problem of environmental pollution can be facilitated by the introduction of elements of an environmental management system in modern enterprises in accordance with the requirements of international standards ISO 14000. This paper reflects the features of the implementation of environmental management in the conditions of an existing enterprise for the production of bakery products. When assessing the emissions arising in the technological process of bakery products production, it was found which of them require particularly close attention. The identified negative environmental aspects, which are included in the area of unacceptable risk, must be strictly controlled at the enterprise. A list of environmental aspects of production has been compiled, indicating the sources of their occurrence, the technological operation and the degree of impact during the operation of the enterprise. The presented monitoring system allows you to visually coordinate the process of managing environmental aspects in the production of bakery products at the enterprise. The use of elements of the environmental management system will reduce the impact of harmful emissions on the environment or minimize them.
