This paper considers the issues of the efficiency of agricultural production in the context of the globalization of the markets for agricultural raw materials and food and the increased competition in this regard. Modern realities and the adopted new Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation, adopted in 2020, require an immediate solution to the problems of ensuring the country's food security by increasing the production of high-quality, environmentally friendly, and, most importantly, economically competitive agricultural products, which is not possible without intensifying production processes. However, the pursuit of high yields and high efficiency of agricultural commodity production often leads to the degradation of the prickly factor of production, namely, land. The paper presents the results of the analysis of the level of land degradation in the Republic of Tatarstan and identifies priority areas for combating erosion in agriculture. Measures to combat soil erosion are experimentally substantiated. The practical significance of the research results lies in the fact that they can not only contribute to the development of the agro-industrial complex and other sectors of the economy, improve soil fertility, the dynamic growth of agricultural products, reduce the disposal of agricultural land and create new jobs but also ensure the preservation and restoration of the Volga River. The results show that the ecological efficiency of one anti-erosion structure in combination with soil protection measures protects an average of 120 hectares of land from further development of erosion processes and is economically paid off by the results of two years of economic activity on protected lands.

In the conditions of insufficient use of the possibilities of cooperation in improving the efficiency of agricultural production, improving the food provision to the population through the development of cooperative entrepreneurship, research work was carried out to substantiate the essence of cooperative entrepreneurship, its features in the agricultural sector, develop recommendations for ensuring the development and effective functioning of cooperative forms of management on an entrepreneurial basis. The studies were carried out using monographic, abstract-logical, computational-constructive, economic-statistical methods. The information base for the study was official regulations, materials from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Republic of Tatarstan, official data from Rosstat and Tatarstanstat for 2015-2020, the results of the authors’ own observations and sociological surveys conducted in certain municipal districts of the Republic of Tatarstan. As the main results of the study, the substantiation of the essence and features of cooperative entrepreneurship in the agrarian sector is presented, the presence of a significant reserve for the development of agricultural cooperation through the involvement of non-cooperative peasant (farmer) households and households in cooperatives is revealed. Revealed: insufficient preparedness of managers and specialists of agricultural cooperatives in the organization of effective entrepreneurial activity; lack of financial resources for a significant part of the newly registered cooperatives to carry out full-fledged entrepreneurial activities; shortcomings in the current legislation on agricultural cooperation. It is proposed to deepen scientific research, improve the training and advanced training of cooperative personnel in the field of organizing effective business activities, intra-cooperative relations in compliance with cooperative principles; allocation of additional financial resources to support newly registered cooperatives; improvement of the current legislation in the field of agricultural cooperation, the introduction of statistical reporting on the results of the work of cooperatives
One of the most acute problems of agriculture in the Republic of Tatarstan in modern conditions is the progressive degradation of soil cover. Every year the scale of water erosion increases, causing huge damage not only to agriculture, but also to large and small rivers of the region. The territory of the republic is characterized by a large dissection, which serves as the basis of soil erosion. The research was carried out to analyze the impact of soil erosion on the efficiency of agricultural production and the development of science-based measures to combat soil erosion in agriculture of the Republic of Tatarstan. In general, in the subject of the Federation it is necessary to carry out erosion control works on the area of more than 2 million hectares of agricultural land. Every year spring melt water and storm water runoff on average washes away up to 22 tons of fertile soil from one hectare of arable land, which leads to an annual loss of up to 700 thousand tons of humus in the scale of the Republic of Tatarstan. This is comparable to the introduction of 10 million tons of organic fertilizers. Complex of anti-erosion measures depending on the relief and objective conditions of terrain includes organizational-economic, agromeliorative, forest-meliorative and hydromeliorative works, which ensure effective regulation of storm and melt water runoff, increase moisture reserve in soil cover and reduce washout of fertile soil layer, prevent new and expansion and spread of existing erosion centers and thereby contribute to improvement of fertility of agricultural lands. Thus, in the course of scientific research it is established that on average in the Republic of Tatarstan one set of anti-erosion measures protects up to 120 hectares of land from further development of erosion processes. The cost of the complex of anti-erosion measures, including anti-erosion pond - 2.5 million rubles, the payback period is 2 years.
