Abstract: Based on statistical data, the article reveals the impact of agriculture on the economic potential and living standards of the population of the country's agrarian centers. Agriculture developed at a rate slightly higher than the overall economic dynamics in the country in 2010 - 2019. The study also found that the high degree of dependence of the regional economy on the development of agriculture in the period under review did not contribute to an increase in the standard of living of the population of this territory, which is associated with the traditionally low level of wages of workers in this industry. The calculation of deviations from the recommended consumption standards for basic food products in agricultural centers and their comparison with the average values in the country showed that the higher physical availability of food characteristic of agricultural regions does not have a significant effect on the improvement of the diet structure. The low level of wages in agriculture can be regarded as a risk factor for the sustainable development of the Territory. To solve this problem, it is proposed to intensify the work on the popularization of a healthy lifestyle and introduce measures of economic incentives to stop excessive consumption of food.
