The share of the rural population in the total population exceeds 25%. Labor and land resources are the basis of the economic potential of society, the country, individual territories and industries. Rural areas are of particular importance in activating this potential, which is possible only when the state creates certain organizational and economic conditions for the development of entrepreneurship and local self-government in rural areas. The article, based on economic and statistical, monographic methods, the method of expert evaluation, provides a critical analysis of the modern development of rural areas of Russia, the expediency of using programmatic and design approaches to solving rural problems, the possibility of using new models and tools of economic organization in practice, in particular, increasing the level of state support for rural (farm) farms, dissemination of best practices of effective work of national enterprises, ancestral estates, the cooperative system "support farmer", development of alternative agricultural activities in rural areas, including agro-tourism and others.
