The article deals with the concept, essence and objectives of “green” logistics as a new scientific direction based on the use of knowledge in the field of economics, ecology, sociology, management, and other areas on the application of logistics information technologies to reduce environmental harm while increasing the efficiency of the use of certain resources. The idea, essence and objectives of the concept of “sustainable development” are considered. A number of intersections of “green” logistics and the ideas of sustainable development are noted. It is proposed to consider “green” logistics as an element of sustainable development, which will allow us to use an integrated approach to study this design, to identify and develop their relationships. Certain options for improving the effectiveness of these two institutions through the development of interaction mechanisms are proposed. The importance and significance of scientific support and human resources for the effective solution to the tasks set for “green” logistics as an element of sustainable development are noted.

The article, using the example of the Russian Federation, considers a number of environmental postulates that the authors consider to be the necessary condition and at the same time content for the successful implementation of the national environmental policy. The authors investigate the high-quality environmental law; effective working mechanisms for monitoring and supervising its compliance; and the inevitability of legal liability for violation of environmental legal norms.

The introduction against Russia of "food sanctions" promoted the interest of scientists to analyze such scientific categories as "risks" and "threats" in the agricultural sector of the economy in terms of import substitution. Largely, the introduction of food sanctions is intended to reorient Russia's foreign trade markets in order to find suppliers that are free from the current political environment. Reducing competition should help domestic agricultural producers to work effectively and reach a leading position in their food segment. The importance to study the emerging risks and threats in relation to the regional food supply system in the process of import substitution is connected with the fact that without proper understanding and analysis, a significant number of problems of economic, social and managerial relations in the food turnover both within the state and within the borders of a separate region can arise. In the article, the authors attempt to show the risks and threats of food security in the region in modern economic conditions.

The article considers the concept and system of food security indicators, analyzes the levels and measures of state support for agriculture as a basic branch of the economy, aimed at providing citizens with high-quality and affordable food products in sufficient quantities. The authors pay special attention to the study of state support measures for agricultural producers after Russia’s accession to the WTO. It also analyzes certain problematic legislative aspects of the topic under study and suggests appropriate legal ways to solve them, namely, to make certain additions and establish legal norms in a separate Chapter of the Federal law "On agricultural development", as well as to develop a draft and adopt a Federal law "On ensuring food security of the Russian Federation" in the near future.
