The article presents the problems and main directions of development of private subsidiary and peasant (individual) farms, which under the conditions of cooperation can achieve high results in the agricultural sector of the region. This can help ensure food security in the region and sustainable rural development. The purpose of the article is to propose the main directions for the development of small farmings. The development of the agricultural sector in private subsidiary plots and peasant (individual) farms of the population of the Penza Re-gion is presented as an object. The following research methods were used in the study: monographic, economic-statistical, abstract-logical. Special attention is paid to the review of the development directions of private sub-sidiary plots of the population as one of the important links in solving the food supply of the population and the retention of labour force in rural areas. As a result of the analysis of crop and livestock production, the authors noted that the production dynamics of these types of products in peasant (individual) farms is positive, and livestock production in private subsidiary plots of the population is significantly declining, because they have difficulties with the distribution of products and the use of innovative equipment and technologies. The authors focused mainly on the federal project "Development of Vegetable and Potato Farming", which enables self-employed farmers in the agricultural sector to receive subsidies to cover part of their costs. According to the authors, not all owners of private subsidiary plots will be able to register self-employment. In order to support small forms of farming, the legal foundations must be developed at the state level. The main results of the re-search carried out are, firstly, bringing together smaller forms of farming to create and improve consumer coop-eration and, secondly, increasing the efficiency of cooperatives in a single methodological link.
Keywords: small business, cultivation areas, production, self-employed, consumer cooperation.
