The article analyzes the current state of the industry in the context of restrictive measures, identifies the directions of sustainable development of agriculture. The purpose of the article is to assess the sustainable development of agriculture under the conditions of sanctions pressure. Methods. In the process of studying the problem, a set of general scientific methods was used: statistical observation, logical, monographic, comparison, graphic, as well as universal methods of theoretical knowledge. The empirical basis of the study was the data of the Federal State Statistics Service, materials and publications of domestic and foreign scientists. The scientific novelty of the study is to assess the impact of the imposed sanctions pressure measures on the sustainable development of domestic agriculture, the main aspects of assessing the sustainability of efficient production in difficult external and internal geopolitical conditions are considered. Results. The article analyzes the current state of agricultural development. The possibilities of ensuring, against the background of various external and internal threats, stable economic and physical availability of food in the required volume have been identified. The quantitative and qualitative growth factors that ensure its sustainable development, as well as problems that hinder the stability of the industry, have been identified. It is concluded that at present the Russian agriculture maintains the trend of sustainable development. However, the opportunities for quantitative growth of production volumes in the industry are decreasing, which is largely due to changing climatic conditions. Therefore, the main attention should be paid to the development of qualitative growth parameters, first of all, domestic breeding and seed production, the digital transformation of the industry, the use of advanced management methods, and the improvement of personnel competencies.
