Abstract: Accelerated import substitution associated with the introduction of foreign sanctions against the country has led to the need to improve the spatial organization of agriculture. The previously existing violation in the interaction of social, economic and natural factors did not contribute to the sustainable development of the main and additional sub-sectors of the agricultural sector. Therefore, when developing a strategy for the spatial development of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to take into account the characteristic features of the production of individual types of agricultural products in the regions of the country, to determine the main areas of rational placement, deepening specialization and increasing the concentration of production. At present, in certain regions, these issues are still being resolved individually. Therefore, with various possibilities, there is a violation in the use of land, unemployment in rural areas appears, since production is declining. Due to its inefficiency, land continues to be concentrated in the hands of one owner. As a result, problems arise in the spatial development of agriculture.
Aim. Is to determine the main directions for improving the spatial development of animal husbandry, since it is the primary basis for ensuring national food security.
Research methods. The information base of the study includes materials of the Federal State Statistics Service and its territorial bodies, regulatory and legal documents of the Government of Russia, Rosstat, scientific works of Russian and foreign scientists in the field of spatial development of rural areas. The methods of analysis and synthesis, comparison, economic and statistical methods are used in the study.
Results. The work defines the fundamental directions of development of animal husbandry on an innovative basis, directly influencing the spatial organization, namely: introduction of innovative technologies, that is, the use of energy-saving, adaptive, industrial technologies for keeping animals; introduction of new animal breeds, improving selection and breeding work; use of new materials that contribute not only to the reduction, but also to the elimination of existing losses of livestock products; widespread use of developed systems for managing sub-sectors of agriculture with other industries and sub-sectors.

Keywords: spatial development, strategy, placement, production specialization, agriculture, food security, natural, economic, social and territorial conditions, production
