Abstract
Modern socio-political and economic problems have increased the urgency of agricultural development through modern innovation. Such development is only possible with the availability of highly qualified personnel. However, at present, the rural economy of Russia experiences a shortage of necessary personnel, which is one of the reasons for the slow introduction of innovations and insufficiently rapid advancement of agriculture. This situation is due to the reluctance of young and skilled people to lead a working life in rural areas caused by such problems as low wages, domestic inconveniences, etc. Hence the necessity to work on solving these, preserve and grow human capital in agricultural production, thus filling the agrarian sector with labor resources in the necessary quantity and high quality and fully ensuring the food security in Russia and its regions.
