Аннотация: Предметом исследования явилась региональная аграрная политика, в которой сегодня происходят значительные социально-экономические преобразования, направленные, в первую очередь, на обеспечение национальной продовольственной безопасности. В тоже время пока еще глубоко спорными остаются вопросы инструментальной и методологической поддержки обоснования целей и индикаторов стратегического развития сельского хозяйства. Поэтому проблеме разработки моделей и методов организационно-экономического механизма стратегического целеполагания уделяется особое внимание как на правовом, так и на научно-методическом уровне. В основу исследования положена методика ОЭСР, по количественной оценке, проводимой в регионах агропродовольственной политики, и инструменты эконометрического анализа. Информационными ресурсами выступили данные по сельскому хозяйству Пензенской области и соседних с ней регионов. В результате исследования получены новые данные и результаты о современном состоянии аграрной политики в исследуемом субъекте РФ, которая нуждается в серьезных методических корректировках по переориентации государственной политики в сельском хозяйстве, инструментами которых могут стать разработанные стратегические модели формирования агропродовольственной политики.
