Note (General)Economic development takes place in the process of transformation of production relations under the influence of changes in human roles in the economic system. As human needs have grown, it has become necessary to update technology development processes and human development requirements, especially human capital requirements. Agriculture is no exception. The formation and use of human capital is of particular importance for the agricultural sector and for the transition to a social-oriented type of economic development. Today, Russia's agriculture has a significant improvement compared with the times after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when almost all sectors of the economy were on the verge of survival. However, in rural Russia including the social sphere still there are many unsolved problems, such as low income in rural areas, low life expectancy, etc. Under such circumstance, innovation (including both technological and social innovation) and entrepreneurship (as one of the types of human capital), are considered as possible keys to the improvement in agricultural and rural development. The main purpose of this study is to clarify the relationships among agriculture and rural development, human development and human capital in Russian Federation since 2000s. Firstly, we made literature review on the issues of agriculture and rural development, human development and human capital. Secondly, we described the situation in Russia based on data from government statistics and censuses. Thirdly, hypotheses and methods for verification for this study were proposed based on literature review. In the fourth, we used regional and municipal data to verify our hypotheses. Finally, we draw general conclusion and show policy implications to central and local governments based on the analysis. Based on the review of the existing literatures, we set two hypotheses for verification. They are hypothesis 1: “There is a positive relationship between agricultural development and human development in Russia since 2000s” and hypothesis 2 “Structural changes in agricultural sector and human capital have impacts on the agricultural development in Russia since 2010”. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was introduced to clarify the causal relationship among variables in the research for hypothesis verification. Since one of the objectives of our study is to determine the effectiveness of agricultural production in Russia as a whole, Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) was also chosen in the research. The following conclusions are obtained based on the analytical results. First, agricultural development in Russia has made a significant progress since 2000s. It has improved the nation’s food security and rural development. Secondly, structural changes in agricultural sector as well as human capital of higher education have impacts on the agricultural development since 2000s. However, human capital in general education had no impact on agricultural development in the period of 2012-2016. The fruits of agricultural development in Russia needs to spill over to the whole rural sector which means that it is necessary to realize agricultural development and rural development simultaneously. Therefore, policy implications drawn from this research recommend that agriculture and rural development in Russia should be accelerated by the supply of technological innovation and social innovation including institutional innovation through the improvement in human capital.
