Agriculture is one of the most important sectors of national policy, contributing to the formation of the market for consumer goods made from agricultural raw materials by more than 70% in the country. In the context of globalization, the problem of survival facing humanity is due to the aggravation of a number of global problems, including the problem of agricultural production. Human capital is a certain stock of health, knowledge, skills, abilities, motivations, formed as a result of investments and accumulated by a specific person, which are expediently used in a particular sphere of social reproduction, providing the village with specialists and personnel. The article examines the presence of economic problems in the village, security, level of professional education, age structure, labor resources, managers and specialists. The introduction of new training methods, IT technology, artificial intelligence, the development of new areas for the development of digital technology

The article analyzes individual social and economic problems of the village, the presence of agricultural organizations, the number and level of professional education, the age composition of specialists and managers, machine operators and livestock breeders. For the first time, the human development of the village of the Republic of Tatarstan is considered, as well as the trends in solving the difficulties encountered in the agricultural sector. The agricultural sector of the Republic of Tatarstan accounts for over 14% of the gross social product and the same national income of the Republic of Tatarstan. The resource potential created in the agro-industrial complex between the individual regions is distributed extremely unevenly. More sharp contrasts are observed in the material and technical provision of agriculture in certain regions, in the availability of land and labor resources, in the qualitative state of the available human potential, in the level of its use, in the social development of the village. Of the actual workers aged 30 to 60 years, pre-retirement contingent prevails. Workers under the age of 40 are generally not satisfied with working conditions, wages and rural infrastructure. The leadership of the republic, the Ministry of Agriculture, financial organizations of the Republic of Tatarstan need to make additional efforts to fully provide highly qualified specialists of agricultural organizations, social and economic conditions, and infrastructure. The use of highly efficient equipment, new technologies will increase the productivity of machine operators, reduce the timing of field work, and in livestock can optimize their number. An analysis of the availability, age and educational level of agricultural workers, the introduction of new technologies will make it possible to forecast a decrease of at least 3% in the number of labor resources in agricultural enterprises over 3-5 years. Agricultural enterprises should introduce deep processing of grain, meat, milk and other raw materials, having united in cooperatives. To ensure the economic growth of the agro-industrial complex, certain investments are necessary in order to form highly productive human capital. Only in such conditions can a return on investment be achieved.
