Problems and main directions of innovative development of small and medium-sized businesses in agriculture of Russia

Abstract

The article of the current state of small and medium-sized businesses in the Russian Federation is discussed. The problems that unlike the countries of Western Europe, hamper the harmonious development of small and medium-sized businesses are noted. Most attention is paid to the problems of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas. A large imbalance has been established between the number of small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas and the city. The results of studies in the form of diagrams are presented. The reasons for the large difference in the number of small and medium-sized enterprises between the countryside and the city are determined. It is noted that the emergence of a large number of urban-type villages in rural areas near large cities does not change the situation. Areas of activity in which small and medium-sized businesses will more conveniently develop in rural areas are identified. Conditions have been established that will contribute to the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in rural areas. The proposals for improving the efficiency of small and medium-sized businesses in rural areas in the Russian Federation are presented. Particular attention in the proposals is given to the problem of reducing the young population in rural areas. Therefore, the submitted proposals take into account the strategic and socio-economic aspects of the development of small and medium-sized enterprises in the Russian Federation. It is noted that this approach to solving problems is used in Western Europe.

Study of the impact of recultivated granite stone quarry dumps on the environment and agricultural land in the Leningrad region

“…Various reasons contribute to this [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. One of them is the sharp increase in industry and population [7,12,13,16,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. This has led to an increase in the generation of electrical energy and pollution of areas [26][27][28][29][30][31][32].…”

“…On the other hand, population growth requires more food [1, 2, 22-24, 31, 39, 40]. Agricultural fields are located next to industrial areas, which contributes to their pollution [24,31,[39][40][41][42][43]. One such situation is observed in the Leningrad region (Russian Federation).…”

Monitoring of soil pollution caused by industrial enterprises in one of the districts of St. Petersburg

“…Urban areas located between enterprises and residential areas are particularly affected in this case. The expansion of industrial zones and residential areas leads to a sharp reduction in green spaces and the deterioration of the ecological situation [23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. St. Petersburg is no exception to this rule.…”

Assessment of the level of soil pollution of agricultural lands Kotlin Island

“…A very difficult situation arises with agricultural lands located in such areas. Mankind consumes more and more products every year [29,31,[34][35][36][37]. It is extremely difficult to take these lands out of use for several reasons [25-27, 34, 35, 38-41].…”
