In this article we have studied the issues of ensuring the socio-economic security of the rural population of Ukraine. It is determined that an important role in this process is played by the state policy on financing the development of rural infrastructure. At the same time, it is proved that the key role in ensuring the socio-economic development of the rural population belongs to the system of agricultural production, which provides the rural population with jobs and in case of its effective activity contributes to increasing incomes. It is determined that in the system of social and economic security, in particular, food security, which is based on the effective functioning of the agricultural sector, is becoming important. In the article we study the dynamics of food production in some European countries and the EU, as well as the main trends in the financing of agricultural development programs through targeted government programs in Ukraine. The method of integrated assessment of the state of socio-economic security of the rural population is applied. Based on it, it is determined that the integral value of this indicator in Ukraine is within critical limits, which requires a set of measures aimed at improving the socio-economic development of rural areas.
