摘要：This article discusses the concept of sustainable development in general and in relation to rural areas. It describes the multitasking functionality of rural areas. Main issues of all spheres of rural life are analyzed, and the necessity of practical implementation of state programs for sustainable rural development is argued. The results of development programs, the challenges of their implementation are considered, and ways of solving them are proposed in order to identify indicators of the current state and progress of sustainable development in our country, to compare them with other countries in order to better understand where we are, what we have achieved and where additional efforts are needed. There is still a lot of work to be done to achieve our goals, as not all the indicators analyzed are positive.
