Abstract: Basic food consumption is one of the most important characteristics of food security. To solve this urgent problem, in 2020, the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation was approved, which should solve problems both in the field of organizing agro-industrial production and the socio-economic policy of the state. The new version of the document strengthens both of these components, but it is necessary to adjust the existing mechanisms for solving the tasks and new challenges. In solving these problems, it is necessary to take into account such a category of farms as peasant (farm) farms, which are becoming more and more significant producers of agricultural products, playing an important role in the development of rural areas. Small businesses of the agro-industrial complex, including peasant (farm) farms, produce more than half of the agricultural products produced in the country. Their development creates conditions not only for self-employment of the rural population, but also self-sufficiency in basic food. At the same time, problems persist in the development of small agricultural enterprises. According to Rosstat data over the past 5 years, due to unfavorable conditions for development, the number of peasant (farm) farms decreased by 48 thousand and amounted to 162,379. Many problems remain that prevent their activation and require the creation of new mechanisms, including the normalization of the social sphere in the countryside for more successful functioning.
