Diversification of the rural economy as a factor of their sustainable development (by the example of the south- and north-eastern regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan)

Diversification of the rural economy is one of the priorities of their sustainable development. This is reflected in the state program «Integrated Rural Development» for 2020–2025 approved on June 4, 2019. In accordance with this and other federal programs, rural development programs are also being developed at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, the state program «Integrated development of rural Territories of the Republic of Bashkortostan» (as amended on December 8, 2020) was approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan No. 728 dated December 12, 2019, which replaced the subprogram «Sustainable development of rural territories of the Republic of Belarus until 2020» of the state program «Development of agriculture and regulation of agricultural markets products, raw materials and food in the Republic of Belarus». In addition, on the instructions of the Government of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Institute of Socio-Economic Research of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences has developed two sub-regional programs for the development of depressed south- and north-eastern regions of the region for 2011–2015 (extended until 2024). Within the framework of this article, the expediency of their adjustment and inclusion in them of promising projects for the diversification of the rural economy — new «points of growth» in relation to specific municipal areas, which are various areas of the processing industry, small and medium-sized businesses, tourism, folk crafts and crafts, agricultural production and consumer cooperation. The inclusion of proposals for the development of ethnic entrepreneurship and ethnic cooperation, ethnic brands of the Trans-Urals and the North-East of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the programs is being updated.

Development of a Model of Strategic Priorities for Sustainable Development of Rural Areas in Kazakhstan until 2030. Example of the East Kazakhstan Region

The problems of sustainable development have been actively investigated by the scientific community. However, due to the difficulties of implementing this concept in practice, the focus of research is increasingly shifted to the study of certain aspects affecting the sustainable development of territories. In particular, this concerns the sustainable development of agriculture and rural areas, especially in socio-demographic, economic, and institutional aspects. The purpose of the article is to develop a model of strategic priorities for the sustainable development of rural areas in Kazakhstan until 2030. The article presents a model of strategic priorities for sustainable development of rural areas in the East Kazakhstan region according to socio-demographic and economic vectors, as well as institutional support with appropriate strategic goals, indicators, and target values. Solving the problem of sustainable development of rural territories is a long-term task, which can be achieved through the development of the economy of territories. The transition of rural territories to a sustainable development strategy will ensure effective farming, orientation to high standards of social protection of the rural population, multifunctional use of rural territories, preservation of the quality of the natural environment, and adaptation of institutional mechanisms to the functioning of rural agriculture and rural development.

Rationale of Management Principles of Providing Sustainable Development of Rural Territorial Communities

The motivation of the research is to find the answer to why the reform of decentralization of government in Ukraine does not contribute to the sustainable development of the countryside and the peasantry. The objective of the article is to substantiate the managerial principles used to ensure sustainable development of rural territories based on the establishment of a village preservation model of the agrarian system in Ukraine. The article identifies basic features of rural development policy and management using various agrarian system models, in particular, the agricultural holding model, which is currently being implemented in Ukraine, and the village preservation model, which is proposed for implementation in order to preserve and revive rural life in Ukraine. The main achieved results include managerial principles of sustainable rural development in the village preservation model of the agricultural system.

Transport Infrastructure for the Sustainable Development of Rural Territories in Siberia

The development of the situation in Siberia is closely related to the potential transport probability due to a significant increase in prices for sales markets and the priority of raw material zones of economic specialization. At present new directions are superimposed on the formed backbone of the region's agricultural production. The development of Yamal fish farming in the Pur-Taz interfluve makes it possible to simultaneously focus on the Arctic sea and regional river directions. Possible proposals for developing transport value include: combining the use of corporate transport value; creation of a sustainable road network with winter roads; road connectivity with improved pavement, an emerging livestock processing cluster; transfer to the history of roads with dirt tracks in the south-west of the Tyumen region.

Theoretical and methodological basis in the management of sustainable development of rural territories in the Republic of Bulgaria

Rural areas in Bulgaria have an untapped potential, both in the use and protection of available resources and their socio-economic development, and for generation of additional income. Their sustainable development would balance the economic, social, and environmental growth and significantly improve the rural quality of life. The aim of this study is to identify the theoretical and methodological foundations for the management of sustainable development of rural areas in Bulgaria. On the basis of the general scientific methods of induction, deduction and translation, content analysis, and critical analysis of documents and literature sources, the following are reasoned: 1) the theoretical foundations of sustainable development; 2) the strategic framework for sustainable development; 3) the problems in defining the rural territories; 4) the development of alternative tourism as a good practice for the diversification of the functional use of the territory. The article argues that the management of sustainable development is based on the collaboration between the authorities, local communities and businesses for the diversification in the functional use of the territory and the optimal utilization of available resources.

Цифровые экосистемы малого агробизнеса в условиях санкций

The concept of digital modernization of agriculture, written in a number of program documents of the Russian Federation, implies the transformation of the domestic agro-industrial complex from resource and energy-intensive agricultural production to modern agro-industrial complex 4.0, based on information and digital technologies, the Internet of Things, robotization and automation of production processes, introduction of cognitive technologies, precision farming technologies, etc. At the same time, digital innovations should not only increase the qualitative and quantitative indicators of agricultural production, but also stimulate the processes of social, economic and logistical renewal of the Russian agroindustrial complex. The solution of these tasks generally complies with the concept written in the Strategy for Sustainable Development of Rural Territories of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030. However, the geopolitical events of February 2022 made significant adjustments to the development plans suggested by the Russian state. The imposition of unprecedented sanctions against Russia became the main factor influencing the course of agricultural reform. It is no longer just about individual personal restrictions or “sectoral sanctions” by analogy with the sanctions of 2014. We are talking about a full-scale “economic war” declared against our state. The purpose of this study is a scientific and practical analysis of the specifics of digital ecosystems of agricultural production in the context of the possibility of their full functioning in the sanctions regime, as well as the prospects for their further development and the introduction of modern digital technologies in small agricultural production. The result of research is the development of the concept of digital economy ecosystem of agricultural production functioning under sanctions, analysis of existing and promising digital ecosystems built on the domestic element base and using Russian software. The results of the analysis can be used in the development and implementation of the state agrarian policy in the field of digitalization of agricultural production in the sanctions regime and the development of practical measures aimed at circumvention of restrictions and the development of import-substituting digital technologies.

Socio-ecological and economic paradigm of sustainable development of rural territories of Ukraine

The article, based on a study of the key provisions of the concept of sustainable development and the essence of the concepts of «paradigm» and «system» found that the modern socio-ecological-economic paradigm is a system of selective views, compromises and actions of society. through available economic, institutional, financial, social mechanisms and tools to harmonize relations between the population, government and business. It is determined that the formation of socio-ecological-economic paradigm of sustainable development involves its territorial differentiation, which means the transition to a model that takes into account the economic and natural specifics of certain areas, ensuring a balance between economy, social sphere and ecology. It is proposed to consider the socio-ecological-economic paradigm of sustainable development according to the types of relationships formed between its components: economic-ecological, which provide for the impact of economic activity on the environment. Reflecting the impact of the environment on production conditions, form the raw material base; socio-economic relations provide the spheres of economic activity with labor resources, through which the research and production process takes place; socio-ecological reflect the interaction of the environment and society, their mutual influence. The purely economic ties that arise due to the influence of economic laws, and are the basis for the formation of certain patterns of economic processes and relations, and social ties that arise during the functioning of society and characterize the features and stages of social relations; institutional ties are formed in the process of historical development of the socio-economic environment in the context of reconciling the interests of social groups, etc. A scheme of sustainable development of rural areas as complex systems has been developed in three-dimensional space, which includes, depending on the availability of key links in the system and provides for deviations from its sustainable development.

Should rural entrepreneurs be guided or supported?

In contemporary global environment, the role of rural entrepreneurs in the sustainable development of rural areas is growing significantly. Existing research recognizes the importance of rural entrepreneurs at national and international levels. National governments tend to develop efficient forms of support for rural entrepreneurs. However, the results of this support system can be ineffective. Our study aims to identify strategies to improve state and municipal programs to support rural entrepreneurs. The government support can be classified into two forms: the programs that mainly focus on financial support and programs aimed to provide special consultations on conducting rural business. Based on a comparative analysis of support programs for rural entrepreneurs in Russia and New Zealand, we have identified the key types of support that governments provide to rural entrepreneurs. The study employs qualitative methodology, by interviewing rural entrepreneurs in the Sverdlovsk region, Russia and Canterbury region, New Zealand. This study has determined the most significant and attractive areas of state support for rural entrepreneurs. It also examines the effectiveness of existing measures of state support for rural entrepreneurship. The study concludes that both actors: the state, including local government, and rural entrepreneurs, are willing to consider program measures to form entrepreneurial ecosystems at national and regional levels. These programs need to ensure the interconnectedness and interdependence of all actions of both governments and entrepreneurs to improve the level of food security of the country and the sustainable development of rural territories.

Development of the concept of system management of the reproduction of personal potential as an element of ensuring the sustainable development of rural territories

This article is devoted to the concept of systemic management of personal potential reproduction as an element of ensuring sustainable development of rural areas. The concept contains structural and substantive elements substantiated by us: 1) the relevance of the formation; 2) key difficulties; 3) purpose; 4) the task; 5) expected results; 6) benefits; 7) performance criteria. The scientific significance of the development lies in determining the main components of the concept, practical - in achieving a balanced rate of reproduction of personnel potential, as a result of which the profitability and labor productivity in the industry will increase. Also, the article defines the structure of the management system for the reproduction of personal potential in agriculture. The scientific significance of the development consists in a well-grounded and structured by us set of interrelated system components, the identification of which simplifies the process of reproduction management. Applying the methodology developed by us for assessing the impact of internal and external factors on the rate of reproduction of personal potential in the industry, the structure of the system specifies the subjects that can regulate the influence of these factors, using the tools of which it is possible to achieve the target rates of balanced reproduction (for the industry, agricultural organizations and their employees).

Why is it so difficult to promote territorial development through public policies? The obstacles faced by a Brazilian experience

The use of the territorial approach to confronting structural problems in regions with low levels of socio-economic development has motivated the experimentation of a series of public policies around the world. The objective of this article is to analyze, based on a Brazilian experience, the obstacles encountered by public policies in promoting processes for territorial development. The discussions proposed here were based on the case of the São Paulo’s Southwestern Territory, which experienced, between 2003 and 2016, the three national policies with territorial focus studied in this research: the Zero Hunger Program, the National Program for the Sustainable Development of Rural Territories (PRONAT), and the Territorial Citizenship Program (PTC). The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and documentary evidence. The analysis was based on the institutional arrangements approach. As a result, we found that territorial policies encountered difficulties to go beyond the sectoral scale, promote inter-municipal actions, and diversify the social actors involved. Our main finding was that this occurred due to three types of fragmentation in territorial policies, which we call sectoral, spatial and top-down fragmentation. As lessons and paths to be followed, we first emphasize that Brazil needs to return to an agenda that considers the territorial approach to development; then we indicate that public investments need to be constant and long-term; territorial committees need to be autonomous and legally capable of managing public resources; we suggest linking territorially focused policies with the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda; Finally, we recommend an approximation between the territorial approach to policies and the neo-endogenous framework.

Geospatial factors of the organization of sustainable forest management

The paper analyzes the importance of the geospatial factor in the development and transformation of the forest complex of the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation over the past century, as well as the conditions that ensure the implementation of the sustainable development of the country’s forest territories. Based on a detailed analysis of the factors affecting the sustainability of forest management in the country, the authors conclude that the geospatial characteristics of the territory used in forestry are a key factor. It is also emphasized that the successful consideration of the geospatial characteristics of forest areas has always been associated with the availability of labor resources that ensured the maximum use of the geospatial and environmental properties of the territory. Among the main reasons of modern problems in the development of forest management, there is a lack of the necessary territorial infrastructure, as well as information on the ecological state of forest areas. The paper indicates the need to form modern geographic information resources as the basis of the forest industry. It also shows that the implementation of the forest management system should be carried out in close connection with the land use and land management system as the basis for the sustainable development of the natural and ecological framework of the state, while digitalization, which is currently actively developing in the country, should be one of the key tools that will provide the forestry complex of the Russian Federation with reliable and operational information. The paper highlights the need to create a new legislative framework that allows regulating forestry on a conceptually new basis of forest management, based on the principles of environmental and economic balance, ensuring the sustainability of the development of this most important sector of the country, as well as the need to strengthen the role of the state in forest management on the basis of a planned system for regulating forest consumption, including strengthening control functions that prevent illegal trafficking in forest products and its theft. Based on the analysis of project documents and state programs, other justified recommendations and proposals are also given to solve a number of current problems of the Russian timber industry in the framework of the implementation of the Strategy for the Sustainable Development of Rural Territories of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2030.

Стратегічне управління розвитком галузі коноплярства

The purpose of the article - substantiation of theoretical, methodical and practical aspects of formation of strategic management of development of the hemp industry in Ukraine in the conditions of strengthening of competition and maintenance of sustainable development of rural territories. Research methods. The methodological basis of the study were the provisions of economic theory and systems analysis. The stages of development of cannabis were considered using the historical method. The dynamics of sown areas was studied using the statistical and economic method. Using a logical method, the tools (methods) of strategic management in the field of cannabis were evaluated on the example of the Institute of Bast Cultures of NAAS of Ukraine and the main directions of strategic management development. The method of analysis and synthesis was used to identify opportunities to expand the tools of strategic management (agricultural cluster as a consequence of the use of an innovative European tool - smart specialization). Theoretical generalizations to substantiate the use of existing and innovative tools of strategic management and conclusions were formed using the abstract-logical method. Research results. The historical key moments that influenced the development of the cannabis industry over the last hundred years are highlighted. The inefficiency of the traditional top-down management strategy is proved and a new tool of strategic management of the European model is substantiated - smart specialization as a basis for regional development. The algorithm of creation and efficiency of agrotourism cluster "Slobozhanske hemp" in Sumy region is given. The main directions of development of strategic management in the field of hemp are outlined. A SWOT analysis matrix was used to study in detail the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the cannabis industry. On the example of the Institute of Bast Crops of NAAS of Ukraine, the main tools of strategic planning were outlined and analyzed. Scientific novelty. The necessity of reorientation of the strategy of regional management from vertical (top-down) to innovative, local, multilevel (smart specialization) is substantiated. With the help of SWOT-analysis, it identified weaknesses and threats that prevent the defense management strategy to move to a defensive - offensive base strategy. The combination of strengths and opportunities in the long run will provide an opportunity to choose a strategy for sustainable development of the cannabis industry. The expediency of creating the Agro-tourist cluster "Slobozhanske hemp" in Sumy region as a powerful economic mechanism and a "green tourist magnet" is considered. The analysis of the main tools of strategic management of ILK NAAS of Ukraine provided an opportunity to formulate the main directions of development of strategic management in the field of hemp. Practical significance. The reorientation of the regional management strategy from vertical to horizontal provides an opportunity for businesses not only to expand their capabilities in the field of growing and processing hemp products from the introduction of modern scientific advances, due to lower state regulation, but also to revive age-old traditions. everyday life. In general, the solution of the tasks will contribute to the expansion of sown areas of technical hemp, the creation of facilities for processing hemp, the creation of jobs and, consequently, the added value obtained by deep processing of products, increase tax revenues to budgets of various levels.

Sustainable Development of Rural Territories in the Conditions of Territorial-Production Localization: Methodological Aspect

Sustainable development of rural territories in the conditions of territorial-production localization: methodological aspect. The issues of sustainable development of territories are given great attention. However, in most of the works, general statements of problems, concepts and principles prevail: an analysis of the sustainable development of territories, a comparative analysis of the development of various socio-economic systems in the regions and other general problems of the country’s social and economic development. The insufficient depth of elaboration of conceptual provisions limits the practical value based on the recommendations existing in theories, aimed mainly at the sphere of macroeconomic regulation. This makes it necessary to further study the issues of sustainable development of rural territories. One of the promising areas is production and territorial localization. The local market is a market of a municipality of a region of the Russian Federation or part thereof, representing an economic system based on the principles of limited resources, characterized by the predominance of locally produced goods, unified logistics and a zone of price influence. Development is a process of qualitative and quantitative changes that enhance and improve the current state of the system, i.e. the process of transition from the old, simple to the new, more complex, higher, quantitative and qualitative state of the system. The concept of "development" is closely related to "management." When these concepts are correlated, the relation of the part to the whole is traced. The assessment of the level of development and location of local markets in rural areas was carried out on the basis of the adjusted XYZ analysis, which allowed us to predict development prospects.

The impact of digitalization of agriculture on sustainable development of rural territories

The article focuses on studies of the digitalization of agriculture and rural areas based on the use of information and communication technologies, since the sustainable development in rural areas will be determined by the fact how innovatively developed they will be in the coming decades. The emergence of digital technologies in agriculture is based on progressive solutions such as robotization, automation, and geo-positioning. Digitalization based on the use of information and communication technologies and related technological changes are considered as objective processes, as a result of the technological progress. The purpose of the current research is to improve the theory and practice of the development of digital technologies in agriculture and rural areas. The main research methods that were used to carry out the work are observation methods, analysis and synthesis, a systematic approach. The performed analysis of innovative processes in agriculture from the standpoint of the use of information and communication technologies shows the effectiveness of their implementation in the agricultural sector to achieve economic and social effect.

There are 33 rural, 18 semi-rural and 9 urban municipalities in Lithuania according to three criterias: 1) part of population living in rural areas; 2) population density and 3) distance of municipality from large towns/cities. Silutė district municipality together with Rusnė ward has been studied in detail to search the main problems of sustainable development of these rural territories of Klaipėda region. System analysis approach and method of integrated sustainability index were applied with suplement of social inquiry fulfiled in Rusnė ward. The indices selected for calculations and comparison of rural and semi-rural municipalities, including Silutė district, were social, economic and environmental: for Silutė 4 different indices in each group were selected, for Rusnė ward – 3 indices. The integrated sustainability index was calculated for all rural municipalities of Lithuania and Rusnė ward. The research period for Silutė and other municipalities was 2006-2012, and for Rusnė ward 2008-2012. Research has revealed that the main problems with sustainability in the studied territories are of social character. According to the Integrated sustainability index, Silutė district municipality was somehow lower than other rural municipalities of Lithuania, and even in Rusnė ward this index was a little higher during 2011–2012, than in Silutė district municipality.KEYWORDS: rural municipalities, semi-rural municipalities, sustainable development, indices of sustainability.JEL CODES: Q56, R11, J11

Indicators of Sustainable Development Goals in the Rural Territories of Russia

This paper analyzes the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals [SDG] in the rural territories of Russia. The sustainable development of rural territories is a problem of world significance. The importance of the discussed problem is that economically steady and socially developed rural territories are the guarantors of stability, independence, and food security of the state. Therefore, the vector of their development becomes the priority direction of national policy. The solution to this scientific problem is the formation of a new scientific direction in studies of sustainable development of rural areas by justifying the necessary conceptual basis and defining indicators of regional development following the goals of sustainable development. The authors analyze rural territories with respect to the share of product output produced by the agricultural industry in the gross regional product (GRP). The correlation, dependence, or influence of the agricultural sector on the regional economy is shown. According to the received results, 57 Russian regions can be carried to rural territories that make more than 50% of all territory. The authors analyzed indicators of sustainable development of the rural territories included in the State program “Complex development of rural territories,” according to SDG. It is shown that not all SDGs were included in the state program of development of rural territories. However, Russia is at the level of world indicators in terms of achieving these goals.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ ДИНАМИКИ ОСНОВНЫХ ВОЗРАСТНЫХ ГРУПП СЕЛЬСКОГО НАСЕЛЕНИЯ РЕГИОНА

Regional features of dynamics of number of country people of the Saratov region and its main age groups, efficiency of implementation of federal target programs on growth of number of youth are shown in article. Parameters of national structure of rural areas at which in the region its reliable influence on demographic indicators is noted are determined. It is revealed that the number of country people of the Saratov region from 2011 to 2019 was reduced by 10%. The working-age population was reduced by 18%, is younger than working- age – for 8%, is more senior than working-age grew by 8%. The share of working-age population in the total number of the population was reduced from 69 to 54%, is more senior than able-bodied grew from 24 to 29%. At the same time, the share of the population is younger than working-age across the Saratov region grew from 17.0% in 2011to 17.3% in 2019. Steady growth of a share of youth in structure of the population is connected with increase in birth rate as a result of implementation of federal target programs. The peak of efficiency fell on 2015–2016. Results of execution of the regional program «Sustainable Development of Rural Territories of the Saratov Region for 2014-2020» are analysed. In the Right bank the share of youth grew from 15.9% in 2011 to 16.4% in 2015–2016, but then was reduced to 15.8%. On certain Right-bank areas where Russians in structure of the population from 80 to 96%, the share of youth decreased from 23 to 35%. In the Left bank the youth share in 2015– 2016 grew from 18.2 to 19.4% and decreased to 18.9% in 2019. The reliable negative correlative dependence between the number of Russians in structure of the population and youth number is established.

The current issues of the development of the concept of rationalization of the formation of socio-natural resources and reserves of sustainable spatial development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas, taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, are considered. Special attention is paid to the methodology of developing and improving mechanisms for regulating the use of resources of the socio-natural and economic space of agro-food systems and agro-industrial complexes in achieving the goals of sustainable development of rural territories (SDGS). The necessity of developing and implementing resource-saving and resource-restoring policies in the concept of sustainable development and Spatial development Strategy is substantiated. The author's recommendations on the main issues of the upcoming UN Summit on Food Systems are formulated: measures to ensure compromises between current and long-term SDGs, synergy in integrated urban-rural systems, the formation of a system of interests in the process of transformation (transformation) of food systems and rural areas for their sustainable development. The methodology of formation of the basic principles and mechanisms of management of social resources of spatial development of the agro-industrial complex is proposed. The complex of response measures of the Russian agro-food complex to modern global challenges caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemics is considered. The position stated in the materials of the UN Summit on Food Systems on the allocation of measures in the system to ensure the effectiveness of the management of "fair" agro-industrial production of such target categories as "economic sustainability", "social sustainability", "environmental sustainability"was supported. The main provisions of the effective implementation of a comprehensive resource–saving policy in the structure of the concept of sustainable development of integrated systems "city-village"are substantiated. The regularity of agro-food systems associated with the principle of equifinality, representing the marginal reserves of spatial development of the agro-industrial complex and rural areas, is highlighted.

Key Elements for the Design of a Wine Route. The Case of La Axarquía in Málaga (Spain)

The design of enotourist routes represents an opportunity for the sustainable development of rural territories. This qualitative study was structured in three parts to reach a cohesion model representing the academic literature, visitors, and winemakers. This research focused on the region of La Axarquía in Málaga (Spain) because of its wine and tourist tradition. In relation to the methodology, this study used content analysis techniques for the analysis of both the relevant literature and the questionnaires completed by all the winemakers of the territory, 60 tourists who visited the wineries, and the 10 most representative agents linked to the tourist development of this region. The findings provided a model with the elements to be taken into account in the creation of a wine route or itinerary in any destination of the world. The application of this model will contribute to the creation of new tourist policies that can move towards efficient progress of the region.
