Abstract: The article is devoted to the problems of the development of rural territories of the Republic of Kalmykia, located in the arid zone and characterized by extremely unfavourable natural and climatic conditions. Research on the living conditions of rural residents, the economic activities of agricultural producers and the state of the natural environment is carried out in conjunction as a socio-ecological economic system. In the course of research, a comprehensive analysis of rural socio-ecological economic systems in the context of its components was carried out. An analysis of the living conditions of the rural population revealed the presence of destructive factors for the development of the socio sphere, such as a stably negative migration balance, which led to a reduction and ageing of the rural population, low living standards of rural residents, financial insecurity of rural settlements, etc. The analysis showed the development of destructive factors both in the life support of rural residents, the production activities of agricultural producers, and in the preservation of the fragile ecological and economic balance of the rural territories of the Republic of Kalmykia. This fact led to the need to improve the model of rural development as a socio ecological and economic system that can neutralize threats to food security.
