Abstract
The article examines the mechanism for the creation and implementation of an agro-industrial cluster in the form of a rural municipal formation, which is an average population center, whose inhabitants are engaged in agriculture and ensure the functioning of its social infrastructure. At the same time, the said cluster is a combination of a system of production, primary processing, storage and marketing of agricultural products and a system of social infrastructure that ensures the quality of life of its residents, comparable to the urban one. Within the framework of practical research, several measures for the integrated development of rural areas are proposed, taking into account the assessment of the level of social and economic development of agriculture in the territories of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and public policy instruments that influence their development. The assessment of the agriculture development was carried out using the methods of descriptive statistics based on the Gatev coefficient, and also by conducting a cluster analysis based on the application of the package of applied programs Statistica. These allowed to formulate and propose a concept for rural settlements of a new type that correspond to the current trends in the territorial development of the developing market economy that meet the requirements for ensuring the state's food security. At the same time, mechanisms proposed are aimed at the integrated development of rural settlements, and in particular, include the involvement of additional budgetary funds and adjusting the tax policy for agricultural producers.

municipal formation of a mixed type (MFMT) is a combination of a system of production, primary processing, storage and marketing of agricultural products and a system of social infrastructure ensuring the quality of life that is comparable to urban
MFMT should be a large territorial unit that meets the following criteria: individual plots of land corresponding to the average farming area in Russia or smaller in area, while the resident of the agro-industrial cluster has the possibility of combining several individual plots into a single farm based on the needs of the business; availability of infrastructure for providing a comfortable life and social environment in the city, including: polyclinics and hospitals, schools and kindergartens, police and fire departments, shops, cafes, restaurants and other entertainment and other infrastructure facilities, i.e. infrastructure, available in modern "sleeping" areas of large cities; availability of storage infrastructure, primary processing and marketing of agricultural products
Summary
One third of the developing country economy branches is related with the agro-industrial complex. The agricultural sector is less adaptive than other sectors; its condition depends on changes in the economic situation and technological platforms (Tarman and Acun, 2010; Shatunova et al, 2019; Goryushkina et al, 2018). Due to a complex geopolitical situation, the problem of replacing imported products with food products produced domestically (the policy of import substitution) has arisen in the current Russian economy. To successfully solve this problem, it is necessary to institutionalize import substitution, which is understood as the creation of an institutional environment that allows replacing imports of agricultural goods (works, services) with competitive domestic products that are not inferior to foreign analogues in terms of their price and consumer properties
