The article introduces the target indicators for the development of rural areas in Russia, provided for by the state program for integrated rural development. In this regard, the influence of the technological transformation of agricultural production on the efficiency of the use of agricultural resources, and its indirect significant impact on the socio-economic development of rural areas is shown. Against the background of the rapid modernization of the country's agricultural production and a significant increase in its efficiency in recent years, the deepening differentiation of Russian regions in terms of the pace of introduction of new technologies into agriculture has been revealed, which is reflected in labor productivity, wage levels in the region and the efficiency of agricultural land use. The close relationship between the level of technological transformation of agricultural production and the attractiveness of rural areas and the development of its social infrastructure has been confirmed. Based on the materials of rural areas of Udmurtia, the gap in the technological development of agricultural production between the districts is shown and, using correlation analysis methods, the impact of investments aimed at agricultural modernization on the level of socio-economic development of the village is proved. On this basis, it is concluded that innovative investments aimed at the development of agricultural production are a powerful driving force not only for increasing agricultural production, but also for the development of rural areas, their attractiveness and improving the quality of life. Based on the conducted research, an economic mechanism has been developed for the development of rural areas, primarily in depressed regions, through the development of agricultural production. At the same time, this development should be based on technological transformation based on innovative investments.
