Abstract: The article describes the system of sustainable development of the plant industry based on improving the selection and seed production of crops in the Russian Federation. The high dependence of the country on foreign producers of seeds of higher reproductions is shown. Reasons have been revealed that limit the dynamic development of selection and seed production in Russia. A hierarchy of the system of sustainable development of the crop industry is proposed, in which the allocated levels form the corresponding subsystems for improving selection and seed production. The need for deep localization of seed production by foreign companies in the country has not been proved to the detriment of national selection. In this regard, an explanation is given of what seeds can and should be considered domestic. During the study, a set of methods was used: abstract-logical (when setting the goal and objectives of the study, substantiating the directions for improving selection and seed production), comparative analysis (when studying the theoretical aspects of the sustainable development of crop production in the country), monographic (when studying the state of selection and seed production of crops).
