Abstract: The article, based on the generalization of the results of scientific research, materials of authoritative international organizations, government statistics and other information from open sources, reveals the impact of agriculture on the national security of modern Russia, which is carried out by providing the population with quality food, the impact of the situation on the food market on the overall inflation rate in the country, the participation of the agricultural sector in the formation of gross domestic product. Domestic product and export income of the country, providing employment for a significant part of the population. It is established that a large share of imports remains in the commodity resources of beef, cheese, and animal oil. A significant deviation of per capita production from the consumption norms recommended by the Ministry of Health of Russia was revealed for the following food products: fish, milk, vegetables and melons, fruits and berries. This dictates the need to introduce additional measures of state support for the missing types of food. The standard of living in rural areas remains low, which poses a threat to the stable development of agriculture, as it causes an outflow of population to cities, which weakens the labour potential of the agricultural sector. This requires making decisions aimed at strengthening the economic potential of agricultural and industrial centres, including the creation of modern jobs for young people, which will contribute to the growth of living standards and the consolidation of the population and personnel in rural areas.
