The article analyses the problem of determining the factors, rates and directions of social and economic growth in the agrarian sphere of the Russian Federation. To ensure the sustainable development of the agrarian
economy and rural local communities, the most significant points of agricultural development have been identified: the state agrarian policy, innovation and technological development, the creation of a cluster structure of production, and the formation of human capital. An analysis of the influence of growth points on the development of the agro-industrial complex is provided. The introduction of new machinery and technologies, attraction of investments can contribute to socio-economic and sociocultural transformations of rural local communities, qualitative and quantitative changes in the life of the village.
