The classification of the challenges facing the Russian agriculture is carried out, which can be divided into natural and economic by origin, and by scale — into large, key and event-jokers. Natural challenges include: global climate change; falling soil fertility; large differences in natural land productivity, which are poorly taken into account in the distribution of subsidies; high probability of large-scale spread of new types of diseases and pests of agricultural plants and animals. Among the economic challenges are the low effective demand of the population; the lack of effective state regulation of intersectoral relations; the localization of agri-food markets; the decline in the competitiveness of domestic food due to technological lag and insufficient state support. However, Russian agriculture has a huge potential for growth, especially in the field of organic production. Against the background of the pandemic and deurbanization, rural areas can be considered as a huge space for the settlement of a large number of people.
