Due to many ways by which they are exploited, insects and their products could be a very big business. They are sold for agricultural protection, crop pollination, as well as human, livestock and pet nutrition. In addition, their products are sold for pharmaceuticals, health, and the implements for research, art works and a host of other uses. This review focused on commercialization of insects and their products with a view of sharing existing knowledge on global commerce of various insects and their products. Available literature revealed that there was an increase in demand for edible insects in the United States of America and prices were as high as $150 kg-1. Similarly, between 2010 and 2015, animal feed market in the United Kingdom grew at 3.5% annually and is currently worth £5 billion. Because of its scarcity, high demand, and recognition of its healing properties, royal jelly, one of the most sought after from bee products commands astronomical price internationally. In addition, no any other industry could generate high level of employment as sericulture, especially in rural areas where it takes 11 workdays to produce a Kg of raw silk. The contribution insects and their products can give to improve the economy of a developing country such as Nigeria is considerable, but underestimated or neglected. Insects are unlikely to make a major contribution in the near future, but the idea that they are potential source of overcoming the economic problems is not as farfetched as it seemed. Therefore, there is the need to adopt an added value approach to insects and their products and sensitize as well as encourage small-scale farmers, who are disadvantaged in international market participation due to lack of access to information, services, technology or the capacity, to produce larger volumes of quality insect products.

Severe aging in rural China is prompting communities to promote support for older people to age in place. The study of the daily life of older adults in rural areas is conducive to understanding their real life and demands, as well as the way they interact with their environment, to develop feasible strategies. In this study, 171 older adults over 60 years old in two different types of villages in Northern Zhejiang Province were investigated and analyzed in terms of the temporal and spatial features of daily activities, as well as their relationship with population attributes, personal competence, and subjective demands. The results show that: (1) significant association can be seen between working hours and the demand for health services, housework hours and gender and age, as well as leisure hours and ADL and the demand for recreational services. (2) The older adults appear to have inter-group homogeneity in some aspects: basic living activities, leisure hours, the gender difference in housework hours, and recreational preference, while they have higher average paid work hours and fewer leisure alternatives than their urban counterparts. Their definitions of paid work, housework, and leisure activities are vague. (3) The definition of home by the older adults in rural places sometimes seems to go beyond the scope of their own house, and the extensive definition of home may change their recognitions of some activities. They also inclined to assign meaning to a place through frequent use rather than through external definitions. (4) The weak consciousness on buying services and deteriorated financial situation hinders the older adults in rural communities from expressing their real demands. Unspoken demands include economic security, recreational choices, and assistance in housework. The results will help to provide references for the improvement of eldercare services and the community environment.

Food security is one of the most important aspects of socio-economic development in Kyrgyzstan. Therefore, studies done in this field of research are of significant theoretical and practical interest. Resolutions of food security issues are one of the conditions for the preservation of state sovereignty, economic security and social stability in society, ultimately, national security. Food safety is important, in terms of strategic interests of the country, and its solution requires: to satisfy public demand for food products; providing industry with raw materials of local manufacture; preservation of social, political and social stability in society; to prevent dependency of the national economy on changes; conditions related to the world markets, the development of internal agricultural production, food and processing industry; neutralization of some import to ensure stable employment and income in rural areas; preservation of ethnic - national characteristics of the local population by creating opportunities for 'survival' of the village: prevention of major foreign exchange expenditure on food imports: the neutralization of the negative impact on the local food market crises in foreign countries - exporters and importers of food products.

The Individual

The current state of most of Russia's territories is such that the development rates of specific regions remain low. This phenomenon does not allow for sustainable long-term economic security. Therefore, it is necessary to develop measures to determine the financial stability of the individual regions and territories of the country for the purposes of their development under current conditions. In this sense, the real problem is to determine the financial indicators to assess the economic security of rural areas. This can be achieved through the formation of a scientifically based action algorithm aimed at improving the situation in rural areas. The research topic is the formation of a system to identify financial indicators in the evaluation of the economic security of rural areas. The theoretical and practical significance of solving problems related to the achievement of sustainable development in rural areas determined the choice of goals, objectives, object and theme of this study. Based on the above, the object of the study is the municipal budget and agricultural enterprises as the basis for the development of rural areas. The purpose of the study is to establish the methodology for evaluating financial security in rural areas as a financial management instrument at the municipal level. The following tasks were implemented in the course of the study: selection of financial indicators based on official and expert sources; Foundation of the mathematical apparatus to calculate the comprehensive and private indicators of the financial security of the territory using the principles of qualimetry (the science of measuring quality). The proposed methodology allows to systematize the financial and economic indicators, it serves as the main calculation of the financial and economic security of the Udmurt Republic; the methodology can also be applied to other rural areas of the country.

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of infrastructure developing that ensures the economic security of small and medium-sized entrepreneurship in the agro-industrial complex, the analysis of factors restricting the development of SMEs and their support institutions is carried out, measures to overcome the problems of developing the infrastructure ensuring the economic security of SMEs are proposed. Infrastructure development depends on the capabilities of SMEs, and the opportunities are due to the influence of the external environment. To assess the situation, a survey of agricultural entrepreneurs was conducted, and according its results entrepreneurs noted the most significant factors limiting the development of SMEs: difficult access to loans, external financing; lack of own funds for business development; taxation; strong competitors, etc. Among the problems that hinder the development of infrastructure were noted: the financial illiteracy of start-up entrepreneurs, the low level of entrepreneurial activity and the income received by SMEs, the disproportion in the distribution of support institutions across the Orenburg region and, as a result, their absence in remote areas and rural areas. To overcome these problems, the creation of institutions for training and retraining entrepreneurs and the “Business Center for Small and MediumEnterprises”.

The Impact

This article maps the impact of neoliberal restructuring of disability services and income support measures on Aboriginal people with disabilities living in rural areas of the West Kimberley in Australia. The international literature has extensively documented disability and Indigenous neoliberal welfare retraction measures, though as discrete areas of research. We aim to emplace the intersectional experience of such reforms by exposing their unique and qualitatively different dynamics and processes of disablement and Indigenous dispossession in the lived experiences of Aboriginal Australians with disabilities in rural Australia. Interviews conducted with Aboriginal people with disabilities living in the West Kimberley revealed the impact of neoliberal policies of retracting disability supports and rationalising services. The effects were felt in terms of people’s mobility, autonomy and economic security, with chronic, and at times crisis, levels of socio-economic insecurity experienced. Neoliberal spatial structures have led to further peripheralisation of rural and remote populations and a resulting increase in levels of inequality, deprivation and marginalisation for Aboriginal Australians with disabilities, who endure and survive by navigating these disabling spaces.

The article reveals the migration processes characteristic of the whole of Russia, including in the village. The migration policy of the regions is one of the key elements of the social development of society, taking into account the economic, political and demographic features of the territory; it determines the direction of migration processes and the formation of migratory connection. The migration process in rural areas (territories) acts as a two-way movement - as a stream of departures and as a stream of arrivals. The article provides basic statistics on migration in the region for 2014-2018. The aim of the study is to analyze the migration situation in rural areas (territories) of the Udmurt Republic, one of the regions of the Russian Federation, since these processes directly affect the state of the labor market. In this regard, it seems relevant to study migration processes in rural areas (territories) of the Udmurt Republic. The object of research is the processes of migration in the context of modern international relations. The subject of the study is - migration processes in rural areas; at the same time, migration is considered in comparison with labor market indicators in addition to traditional indicators of migration growth (decrease) in the population. In accordance with this goal, the main task was determined: to offer statistical indicators characterizing migration in terms of the labor market and the quality of life of rural areas. Methods of comparison, grouping, systematization, analysis of dependence were used. It is concluded that these calculation methods can be applied to determine target indicators of the municipal policy of the region.
