Also presented is an analysis of the distribution costs of agricultural products, raw materials and food, which are formed by the infrastructural elements of the agri-food market, including logistics costs, the level of which is high in Russia. Suggestions have been formulated on the formation of an efficient commodity distribution network for the export of agricultural products, raw materials and food with the participation of regional small and medium-sized enterprises, which is necessary to ensure and maintain a high level of competitiveness of export products.
The concept of a green economy has emerged in recent years as a strategic priority for States and intergovernmental organizations and is a generally recognized model that focuses on improving the well-being of the population, achieving social equality, and significantly reducing environmental risks and environmental deficits. The existing definitions of the green economy are based on the definition of the UN environmental protection Organization, which treats this type of economy as not only increasing the well-being of people and ensuring social justice, but also significantly reducing the risks to all existing ecosystems. Based on this, the formation and implementation of the green growth model of the economy requires proper consideration of the relationship between socio-economic and environmental factors. The purpose of the article is to review the historical retrospective, analyze the current state and trends in the development of the green economy, proving the viability of this model of economy in achieving a three – fold result-social, economic and environmental. The retrospective analysis revealed the evolution of the essential basis of the green economy, which originates from the concept of sustainable development. On the basis of structural and functional analysis, the goal orientation, principles, tasks, and technologies for the development of the green economy at the present stage are identified. The review of the global state of the green economy showed that Russia is at the initial stage of forming a model of green economic growth. At the same time, the government is taking real measures to green the economy, which give confidence in achieving the maturity of the green economy in our country and the success of its tasks.
The article discusses the nature and state of food security in Russia, the risks and threats to food security, and the main directions of economic policy in the field of food security in the country
The article actualizes the need to develop a strategy for rural territory sustainable development at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The scientific novelty of the study is determined by the formation of a set of methodical recommendations on the use of cluster technologies at the zone level in rural territory. It is argued that the use of cluster technologies gives high importance to the innovative component in the concept of sustainable development. The systematic approach usage in combination with cluster technologies allows to develop strategic plans for the development in rural territories from the perspective of long-term improvement of their economic and social component. It is proved that for the Russian Federation, the cluster-oriented policy is one of the promising directions for improving competitiveness and implementing the strategy for sustainable development in rural areas. The main stages of the clustering algorithm for rural municipalities in terms of social and economic development are presented. Methodical aspects of cluster research of rural territory sustainable development at the zone level are clarified. The necessity of forming the cluster portrait of rural municipalities, which should include «cores» (integrators), the cluster-forming block, «satellites» and «growth points», is shown. The results of clustering in rural municipalities in the non-black soil zone of the Republic Bashkortostan on the key indicators of socio-economic development are presented. The grouped «growth points» can become the effective tool for sustainable development, which should be considered as the most important elements of forming the «framework» of the agricultural sphere in rural municipalities. The use of cluster technologies helps to make the transition from the actually existing monofunctional model to a multifunctional model of sustainable development of rural territory. It is summarized that for the rural areas, the formation of cluster systems will stimulate the creation of new jobs in rural areas and contribute to improving the efficiency of agricultural production.
The expansion of government support measures for the development of industries and sub-complexes of the agro-industrial complex is able to ensure the country's food security in modern conditions. However, government support measures for priority programs are limited. The reason for this is the lack of funds in budgets of different levels. The authors analyzed the state support of the agro-industrial complex of the Kemerovo region in 2014-2019. A comparative analysis of the ratio of government support to the agro-industrial complex and agricultural production in the Siberian Federal District is carried out. This study allowed us to conclude that in the industrial region, where the share of agriculture in the gross regional product is insignificant and, accordingly, the level of state support is low, it should be aimed at developing the production of environmentally friendly products through financial support for production in areas remote from industrial centers. Nowadays the volume of state support for the agricultural sector can be offset by extra budgetary funds – investments of industrial enterprises based on co-financing of promising areas of agricultural development.
The article discusses the problems of strategic development of placement management and specialization of agrarian entities of the municipal level, where the main threats associated with the justification of the object of strategic management at the municipal level, the assessment of its condition, tendencies and prospects of functioning, starting with the initial link of economic interactions of agricultural organizations, as well as the possibility of the formation of agricultural production, implementation and transformation of its potential, with the allocation of features respective defined relationships at this level.

The transformation of the management strategy of economic entities in the field of accommodation and specialization was carried out and her organizational and structural model was presented, which will have a certain sequence and interaction at the municipal level.
Sustainable development of provinces is an intrinsic part of Russia interior policy. The management in this area is a major function of the executive branch offices. The management of the sustainable development of provinces includes a complex of legal, social-economic, organizational, administrative, ecological and other actions as well as ways and means of State and municipal governance. One of the ways of management is a change to administrative boundaries of municipal entities to boost the efficiency both by lowering administrative barriers and more efficient use of budgetary means. The balanced development of any province is impossible without effective means of management aimed on the diversification of the province's economy. While conducting the administrative reforms it is necessary to form the development scenarios of the provinces with predominantly agrarian population to avoid the distancing of the authorities from the population. Sustainable development is inextricably connected to the support of the agrarians and hence the economic and food security of the country. Effective management allows to actively affect the current situation and development trends of agrarian provinces, track and correct uncontrollable phenomena and trends, make predictions and plans of this provinces' development that eventually improve the population's quality of life.
An important indicator of the characteristics of land use is how many hectares of agricultural land per one rural resident: the Udmurt Republic -3.6 hectares; the Kirov region-11.5 hectares. It is difficult to compare this indicator, since most of the rural population is not engaged in agricultural production, with the exception of farming. At the same time, this indicator indicates the unsuitability of land due to natural and climatic conditions and low population density (the Kirov region, which has the highest indicator) and insufficient state support for small businesses.
