Abstract: The article considers direct measures of state support as a necessary condition for ensuring food security in the Russian Federation. The authors analyze the differences between the state program "Integrated Development of rural territories" and the federal target program "Sustainable development of rural territories for 2014-2017 and for the period up to 2020". The following is a list of direct measures of state support for rural areas within the framework of the state program "Integrated Development of rural Areas", as well as measures to support federal executive authorities. It should be noted that the effectiveness of state support for rural areas is one of the most important factors for the growth of the quality and standard of living in these territories. The authors give examples of support measures in which partial continuity of performance indicators is noted, while emphasizing that in addition to the continuity of performance indicators of support tools implemented within the framework of state programs, some of the criteria are also measures to assess the effectiveness of some national projects. The article highlights 4 levels of effects from the implementation of state support: resources (inputs), direct result (outputs), final result (outcomes), and socio-economic effect (impacts). The analysis of the efficiency indicators of state support showed that low-level effects (inputs) are present in the implementation of support measures in each of the previously listed areas and represent the amount of budget allocations allocated to the subjects of the Russian Federation from the federal budget. In turn, high-level indicators (impacts) among the analyzed indicators of the effectiveness of state support are absent in all the identified areas. This is due to the fact that, unlike output and outcome level indicators, impact level indicators determine the long-term effect of the implementation of programs and projects, and therefore they are likely to be determined within the framework of various development strategies, as well as be part of the global development goals of the state.
