The authors conducted fi studies with the method of participant observation, which allowed them to see and record the overall picture of economic practices of farmers working near the megalopolis. The study showed that, as a rule, such practices are based on the specifi motivation and activity of suburban farmers, who strive to create a special ‘architecture’ from their self-organization initiatives. Based on the traditions of phenomenological sociology, the authors show the reader “phenomenology of suburban farming”. The suggested analytical perspective is somewhat diff from those popular in today’s research projects focusing on farming and social-economic trends and analyzing primarily organization-economic parameters of farms, the impact of state support and investment policy on increasing their competitiveness and ensuring opportunities for further development. In the fi study, the authors focused on both economic and social-cultural practices of farmers working in the immediate vicinity of Moscow. This approach and step-by-step tracking of productive eff of such farmers revealed the construction of rural-urban worlds on the example of the Moscow Region, in which suburban farmers produce not only various environmentally friendly agricultural products in demand by metropolitan residents but also a variety of recreational services. The originality of the study is determined by the fact that such cases are quite few in contemporary sociological research. In the fi study of the activities of suburban farmers, the authors observed a daily regime of real involvement in economic practices, which contributed to establishing trusting contacts with respondents.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья содержит попытку анализа и осмысления практик сельскохозяйственных производителей, работающих не в сельской российской глубинке, где размещено их статистическое большинство, а вблизи Москвы. Полевое исследование в режиме включенного наблюдения позволило авторам увидеть и зафиксировать совокупную картину хозяйственных практик фермеров, работающих неподалеку от мегаполиса. Исследование показало, что, как правило, такие практики основаны на специфической мотивационно-деятельностной энергетике пригородных фермеров, позволяющей выстраивать из своих самоорганизационных инициатив особую «архитектуру». Опиралось на традиции феноменологической социологии, авторы предприняли попытку увидеть и осмыслить то, что можно назвать «феноменологией пригородных фермерства». Этот ракурс рассмотрения несколько отличается от популярных в современных научно-исследовательских акциях, посвященных изучению фермерства, социально-экономических трендов, нацеленных, в первую очередь, на анализ организационноэкономических параметров таких хозяйств, влияния государственной поддержки и инвестиционной политики на повышение их конкурентоспособности, обеспечивающей возможности дальнейшего развития. В процессе исследования авторы сфокусировали свое внимание прежде всего на хозяйственных, а также социокультурных практиках фермеров, работающих в ближайших окрестностях Москвы. Такой подход к изучению и поэтапному отслеживанию производительных усилий таких фермеров, позволил исследователям зафиксировать глубинные процессы создания и конструирования сельско-городских миров на примере Подмосковья, в которых пригородные фермеры производят не только различную востребованную столичными жителями экологичную сельскохозяйственную продукцию, но и разнообразные услуги рекреационного характера. Оригинальность исследования обусловлена тем, что подобного рода социологические кейсы довольно немногочисленны в современных социологических практиках. В ходе изучения деятельности пригородных фермеров в полевых условиях исследователями каждодневно соблюдался режим реальной включенности в хозяйственные практики респондентов, что способствовало возникновению обстоятельных и вполне доверительных контактов с ними.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>phenomenology of farming</kwd><kwd>self-organization practices of suburban farmers</kwd><kwd>economic practices of farmers</kwd><kwd>suburban and urban agriculture</kwd><kwd>rural communities</kwd><kwd>rural everyday life</kwd><kwd>lifestyle</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>феноменология фермерства</kwd><kwd>практики самоорганизации пригородных фермеров</kwd><kwd>хозяйственные практики фермеров</kwd><kwd>пригородное и городское сельское хозяйство</kwd><kwd>сельские сообщества</kwd><kwd>сельская повседневность</kwd><kwd>образ жизни</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The article was written on the basis of the RANEPA state assignment research program.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Статья подготовлена в рамках выполнения научно-­исследовательской работы государственного задания РАНХиГС.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Azhaev V.N.
