Motives: The article examines the potential of the digital environment in the sustainable supply of fresh food to the big city. Urbanization is a difficult process to manage, and adapting it to the demands of sustainable development requires the search for the new opportunities and ways. In this context, it is highly probable to use the opportunities provided by the digital environment through the Internet, digital technologies and devices, or other digital means. The place and role of ensuring food security in cities and the sustainability of urbanization processes have been little studied. Aim: It is expedient to assess the role of the suburban zone and the zone of transportation of these products to the city in the provision of large cities with fresh food products in terms of sustainable development of urbanization zones. Results: Research and calculations conducted on the example of the Baku agglomeration (Azerbaijan) have provided an opportunity to comment on the impact of food security factors on the sustainability of urbanization processes in the digital environment. To determine the changes in the transportation zone of fresh milk to this agglomeration, we calculated the proposed “weighted average distance of transportation” indicator. It was revealed that the formation of the digital environment in the agricultural production business entities is faster in the areas located closer to the Baku agglomeration.

The article describes overall useful agricultural soil in Azerbaijan, as well as the level use in crop production and animal husbandry, as well as the quality and evaluation of variety of crops in accordance with a system of 100 points under the land cadastre. To determine the efficient level of useful agricultural soils, first of all, the main types and subtypes of soil and their cultivated area used in agricultural production were identified. Data was calculated on the overall soil fund of the republic, the agricultural region and its composition (structure), the level of use of each type and subtype of soil in agriculture, as well as in crop production and animal husbandry. Calculations show that the total utilization rate in agriculture varies between 0.52 and 0.98. To assess the quality of the type and subtype of soil used in agricultural production, to assess the quality of various plants, a system of 100 points was used, and it was proposed to combine the soil in 10 agricultural production groups instead of 5 There are ways to calculate the “Comparative soil value” (TMDƏ) for a specific territory to simplify and facilitate the practical use of materials from agricultural soil groups. Using the data obtained from the survey, any farm manager can plan to obtain higher yields per unit area with minimal and less labor, and can also determine the need of plants for fertilizers depending on soil quality.
