The task of modern manufacturers is to monitor not only the quality of products, but also the selection of ingredients, taking into account the requirements of healthy and proper nutrition. Ice cream becomes even healthier and tastier as a result of enrichment with beneficial ingredients such as probiotics, bioelements, vitamins [1; 4; 7].
Ice cream based on fermentation differs from the traditional type of ice cream in terms of organoleptic characteristics, so consumer acceptability is an important evaluation factor.
Production of ice cream enriched with functional ingredients with a reduced energy value is an urgent and timely task.
Probiotic ice cream is superior in vitamin ratio to regular ice cream. It is rich in calcium protein phosphorus because of this, it is well absorbed by the human body. The ice cream is rich in vitamins B, D, A, E, magnesium, amino acids and enzymes that help speed up digestion.
Highly promising ice cream trends include the combination of different types of probiotics and dietary fiber, sugar substitutes for honey or sweeteners, the addition of fruit purees, etc. [4].
The dietary properties of fermented ice cream are due to the fact that the beneficial microorganisms contained in it effectively cleanse the intestines of toxins and are easily absorbed as a result of the partial breakdown of milk proteins and contribute to the accumulation of vitamins. Dairy products are recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, osteoporosis in the treatment of antibiotics [5; 6].
In the research probiotic starter cultures for the production of fermented ice cream with specified functional properties have been selected. The amount of ferment introduced and its influence on the quality indicators of the finished product have been established.

Studies have been carried out to identify the effect of sulfitation treatment of sugar-beet processing semi-products on their color when it is carried out at one or several processing stages, as well as in its complete absence. At the first stage, the influence of the process of sulfitation treatment of the extractant and thin juice on the color of the thin juice and thick juice obtained from the thin juice by evaporation was studied. It was established that the sulfitation treatment of only the extractant provided a decrease in the color of the thick juice by 9.21%, while the sulfitation treatment of only thin juice – by 55.00%, and the sulfitation treatment of extractant and thin juice – by 58.16%. In addition, an increase in the purity of the thick juice by 0.45% due to the sulfitation treatment of the extractant and thin juice reduced the sucrose content in molasses by 0.11% and, consequently, reduced the overall loss of sugar in production. At the second stage, the effect of sulfitation treatment of a B+C remelt syrups with the use of sulfur dioxide and sodium bisulfite was studied. It was established that the amount of blocked aldehyde and ketone groups when thick juice was treated with sulfur dioxide was higher than when treated with sodium bisulfite due to the divalent anion SO₃ ^2–, and not the monovalent HSO^3–. At the third stage, under production conditions, the effect of sulfitation treatment of massecuite I on the boiling time and color of white sugar was studied. It was established that the average value of the color of white sugar in the presence of sulfitation treatment of massecuite I was 0.44 ICUMSA units, while without treatment – 0.50 ICUMSA units, i.e. under production conditions, the sulfitation treatment of massecuite A made it possible to reduce the color of the finished product – white sugar by 12.0%.

The article considers the possibility of using beet juice in the production of white flour bread. The use of beetroot juice in the recipe will not only enrich the product with vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, pectin, fiber, but also improve and make the appearance of the product noticeable.
The purpose of the research is to study the technology of white flour bread production with the addition of table beet juice.
The tasks are the following: to substantiate the use of beet juice in the technology of wheat bread; to investigate the effect of beet juice on the lifting power of baker's yeast; to determine the effect of beet juice on the quality indicators of wheat bread; to develop a technical and technological map for white flour bread with the addition of beet juice.
To evaluate raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products, modern methods of analysis have been used to determine the chemical composition, nutritional and biological value, physicochemical and organoleptic characteristics of the samples under study. Trial baking was carried out on the basis of the Maikop State Technological University at the Department of Food Technology and Catering, the Faculty of Agricultural Technologies. To knead the dough, a blend of juices obtained from Bordeaux and Krasny shar beet varieties was used. The dough was prepared using straight dough method, long straight dough method and sourdough methods. In the course of the study, a positive effect of table beet juice on the technological properties of the dough, the lifting power of yeast, as well as the quality of the finished bread was established. The use of juice during kneading has shown an acceleration of the lifting force of the yeast and an improvement in its technological properties.

The sugar industry in Russia plays a huge role in ensuring the country’s food security and is a strategic industry. Of the 90 sugar factories in Russia today, a third of the factories are closed due to unprofitability associated with the high cost of sugar production due to low feed capacity. The raw material for sugar production is sugar beet, mainly domestically produced. The locations of most sugar factories are small municipalities, for which they are the town-forming enterprises. For the revival of closed sugar factories, it is necessary to increase their capacity, which is difficult to do due to the fact that in the diffusion section of each sugar factory there is one large-sized imported diffusion apparatus of a mechanical type, which does not allow increasing capacity in any other way than purchasing a new, more high-performance expensive imported diffusion apparatus of a mechanical type. In the current conditions of uncertainty and disruption of trade relations with other countries, new suppliers of high-performance diffusion apparatus are needed in Russia itself, the apparatus of which would at least not be inferior to the Western apparatus. The Russian company Ingehim has developed a diffusion pulsating apparatus (DPA) without mechanical movable transporting devices, which reduces energy consumption, operating costs and lowers quality requirements for sugar beet chips. The test results obtained using an experimental unit showed a higher quality of the diffusion juice. The lightness of the juice was found to be much higher compared to juices produced in conventional diffusion apparatus, and the juice purity was found to be 5% higher at a comparable solids content, resulting in an additional amount of sugar produced per year, allowing for a faster return on investment.

The article presents an analytical review of the methods for determining the activity of water in food products. This is necessary in order to select among several methods the most suitable, which can be taken as a basis for further development of the methodology for determining water activity for non-smoking tobacco and nicotine-containing products.
Water activity is an indirect indicator of microbiological contamination and is particularly important for tobacco and non-tobacco products consumed directly without burning. When water activity values are relatively high in Non-tobacco nicotine-containing products of oral type (NTNCPOT), microflora can develop. Non-tobacco nicotine-containing oral consumption products are actively marketed and are partially replacing traditional nicotine “consumption” methods. A distinctive feature of this product is its method of consumption, which is that as a result of consumption there is no process of inhaling tobacco smoke, which has a negative impact on the human body. On this basis, this product is a less dangerous alternative to smoking cigarettes. Since the products are so widespread, it is necessary to establish quality control. Water activity is not a standard indicator for controlling tobacco products, but since these products are intended for oral consumption, this indicator should begin to be defined as one of the most important for consumer safety. For non-smoking tobacco and nicotine-containing oral products, the CORESTA CRM88 method is the most appropriate. In order to develop a methodology for determining water activity and establishing the necessary values, further study of smokeless tobacco products and non-smokeless nicotine-containing oral products is needed.

Data on the biological and nutritional value of quail meat have been studied. The use of quail meat and product development have been substantiated on the materials and technical basis of KubSAU named after I.T. Trubilin. As a result of the research, biotechnological requirements for the composition and quality of the developed products intended for preschool children have been analyzed, the qualitative characteristics of the main raw material, i.e. quail meat and additional raw materials have been selected and assessed. By the method of calculating the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the selected ingredients, a combination of formulation components with a hypoallergenic effect has been determined. The modeling of prescription compositions of products containing dietary raw materials of low allergenic activity has been carried out, a technology for the production of products developed, including the heat treatment of whole quail carcasses, which has made it possible to reduce the loss of meat juice to 35.8% against 55.17% during heat treatment of deboned meat. Experimental batches of food products for the nutrition of pre-preschool children have been developed, followed by an assessment of the nutritional and biological value. The daily satisfaction of toddler children in the main nutrients has been studied. The developed boiled sausage product and meat souffle meet the requirements for protein content of 13.37 and 14.6; fat 16.56 and 4.4; salts 0.72 and 0.4, respectively.

Most food mixtures, where the liquid acts as a dispersion medium, are formed with the participation of water and aqueous solutions,. The formation of stable surface interactions in disperse systems with the participation of water is based on overcoming the forces of surface tension at the interface between the phases. The aim of the research is to analyze the effect of mechanical activation during stirring and microwave exposure on the surface properties of water and aqueous solutions. The object of the research is distilled water, bottled “Berdovskaya taiga” drinking water, an aqueous solution of NaCl (3.33%), an aqueous solution of NaCl (3.33%) with the addition of 1% flour with stirring. The main research method is the method of capillary rise of liquid in a tube of small cross section, partially immersed in liquid. It has been established that both mechanical and electromagnetic effects change the surface energy of water and aqueous solutions. But their influence is ambiguous. Surface tension during mechanical activation by stirring decreases to a certain minimum for different time intervals for different solutions, and then increases to a certain level. The retention time of the reduced surface energy of distilled water after stirring at a frequency of 100 rpm is 60–80 s. There is a tendency for a noticeable effect of impurities on the surface tension. The more complex the solution and the higher the concentration of impurities, the lower its surface energy. According to the results of the research, for technological purposes, for example, dough kneading, it is recommended to mechanically process (mix) solutions for dough kneading for 60–70 s or microwave treatment for no more than 20 s.

Products from rolling smoking tobacco, they are also “hand-rolled”, are currently a trending phenomenon in the development of the tobacco products market, both in the Russian Federation and abroad. In view of the fact that maximum allowable values for the content of nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide in smoke are set for cigarettes, manufacturers produce tobacco blendings for cigarettes with a high content of components such as reconstituted tobacco and extended stem, on the one hand, regulating toxicity, and on the other hand, reducing flavoring properties. This leads to the fact that modern cigarettes, in terms of taste and aroma of tobacco smoke, poorly meet consumer taste preferences. By creating products from rolling smoking tobacco, combining different types of tobacco, using paper for self-rolling paper of different composition and breathability, as well as changing the mass of tobacco and the diameter of the product, the consumer can create an ideal product that meets all his taste preferences. In connection with the growing popularity of hand-rolled cigarettes, the relevance of research on their qualitative characteristics is growing. This article discusses such qualitative characteristics as the chemical composition and technological properties of samples: raw tobacco; tobacco blendings with and without a vein; rolling smoking tobacco of various brands. The main purpose of the research is to study the influence of the design of the product (diameter, weight, air permeability of paper) on the tasting assessment. For each type of smoking tobacco, products (hand-rolled) of various weights and diameters have been made, using four types of paper, differing in composition and air permeability. The dependence of the tasting evaluation of products from rolling smoking tobacco on the air permeability of the paper and the design features of the products (fiber width, weight and diameter of the products) has been established.

Milk is a fundamental component of the human diet. Approximately 60% of the adult population worldwide has lactose intolerance. Lactose intolerance occurs due to the inability of the small intestine to produce enough enzymes to digest lactose. The purpose of the research is to study the prospects for the production of lactose-free products. Statistical and research data have been analyzed by the method of generalization of scientific publications of Russian and foreign authors on the study of lactose structure and properties, lactose intolerance syndrome, methods of β-galactosidase isolation and the use of lactose-free products. It has been stated in the research that the symptoms of lactose intolerance include abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence. Also, people with lactose intolerance have an increased risk of developing various extra-intestinal diseases, including cancer. Lactose intolerance makes people consume fewer dairy products, which can lead to a deficiency of calcium and other important nutrients. The article describes in detail the causes of lactose intolerance and its role in the human body. It has been shown that the development of lactose-free functional food products that meet the needs of consumers is one of the food industry priorities today. It has been established that the lactose-free dairy products market is the fastest growing segment of the dairy industry. The advantages of including lactose-free dairy products in the human diet have also been investigated, and the prospects for their production described. It has been shown that lactose-free dairy products are able to provide a person unable to digest lactose with the necessary nutrients present in conventional dairy products, such as calcium and vitamins.

Oat biscuits are popular among the population of various age groups. They have good organoleptic properties, but at the same time, high sugar content with low protein and biologically active nutrients. The disadvantage of oat biscuits as well as wheat flour cookies, is the imbalance in micronutrient composition against the background of high energy value and sugar content. The authors substantiated the recipe for oat biscuits enriched with Jerusalem artichoke processed products – puree and syrup, taking into account the requirements of “healthy eating”. Jerusalem artichoke is a valuable source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals; it is widely used in the nutrition of patients with diabetes mellitus, for the correction of metabolic disorders, in the production of functional and specialized food products. The optimization of the recipe for oat biscuits has been carried out using the generalized desirability function. When developing new recipes for food products, organoleptic properties and quality indicators of model samples have been taken into account. The solution of the problem of mathematical programming was carried out in MathCAD v.15. Statistica v.10 was used for regression analysis. For the first time, regression equations have been obtained that describe the dependence of organoleptic indicators and swelling of oatmeal cookies with Jerusalem artichoke on the mass fraction of prescription components. The recipe for oat biscuits for specialized purposes has been determined, providing optimal quality characteristics of the finished product, consisting of (wt %): oat flakes – 55, Jerusalem artichoke (puree) – 20, Jerusalem artichoke syrup – 6, mineral water – 10, dry whey – 9. The proposed approach is effective in modeling recipes for flour confectionery products, including functional and specialized purposes, and is a methodological basis for finding new technological solutions in the food industry and public catering.

Hookah tobacco is positioned as a “nicotine alternative” to traditional smoking, but the aerosol produced contains the same toxic components as cigarette smoke.
Consumer properties and safety indicators of tobacco aerosol for hookah depend on the component composition of the tobacco mixture and the coal used. The main factor that has a physiological effect on the user of hookah tobacco or non-tobacco mixture for heating is the content of nicotine that passes into the aerosol.
There is no single approach to the regulation of a segmental product, in addition, there are no standardized methods for generating and collecting aerosol. The smoking pattern on a laboratory smoking machine does not fully reflect the behavioral profile of a person, however, the quantitative composition of the aerosol obtained from machine testing can be used as input to determine the risk of the product.
During the research, laboratory and analytical equipment was used: CERULEAN SM 405 linear smoking machine; "Expert-001-1(0.1)" ionomer, SF-16 spectrophotometer, Crystal 2000M / HP 5890 Series 11 chromatograph with FID.
Experimental data have been obtained to evaluate consumer and physic-chemical parameters, including organoleptic evaluation, the content of nicotine, glycerin and propylene glycol in samples of tobacco for hookah / non-tobacco mixture for heating.
The method of machine generation and collection of the solid-liquid phase of an aerosol has been standardized, which makes it possible to obtain reliable data on the quantitative content of nicotine in the produced aerosol. The content of nicotine in the samples is 0.1–1.9%, the transition of nicotine into the produced aerosol is insignificant.
The microscopy method for determining the structure of the base (carrier) in combination with the determination of consumer properties (organoleptic evaluation, total content of glycerol and propylene glycol, pH and nicotine content) are tools for identifying tobacco or non-tobacco hookah products.

The relevance of the research has been substantiated. Russia has faced extraordinary economic circumstances. Russia is under unprecedented external pressure from a wide range of economic sanctions. In this connection, there is an objective need for a systematic analysis and forecasting of measures taken to support the Russian economy. The purpose of the research is to study measures to support the Russian economy and identify possible macroeconomic consequences of sanctions. In the research such methods of modern scientific knowledge as analysis, synthesis, induction, abstraction have been used. This article discusses the main directions of the anti-sanctions plan of the Russian Government, such as tax incentives, subsidies and the weakening of state control. The current price situation has been considered. The financial measures taken by the government to ensure the stability of the economy and support citizens in the condition of sanctions, as well as tax support measures have been considered. The possible results of the measures taken have been indicated. Some results of the forecast for the Russian economy made by S&P Global Market Intelligence have been presented. In addition, these data are compared with the first macroeconomic consensus forecast of the Bank of Russia since the expansion of Western sanctions against Russia and the extension of blocking to the reserves of the Central Bank itself. The author's presentation of the macroeconomic mechanism of sanctions has been augmented.

The relevance of the research has been substantiated. Russia is under unprecedented external pressure from a wide range of economic sanctions. The agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable in such conditions. In this connection, there is an objective need for a systematic analysis and forecasting of measures taken to protect the domestic food market.
The article outlines the main directions of the state economic policy of the Russian Federation. The main factors influencing the rise in food prices have been identified. These factors include an increase in the cost of the production cycle of crops and livestock due to import dependence, disruption of supply chains, mandatory labeling of certain goods, an increase in the price of mineral fertilizers, an increase in electricity tariffs and packaging costs, the exhaustion of limits on preferential loans to agricultural producers, an increase in world prices for food products deterioration of natural and climatic conditions.
The level of self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs and the main factors of growth in food prices have been considered. In addition, food inflation in the Russian Federation has been studied.
Particular attention is paid to the measures taken by the Government that will help stabilize prices for important agricultural products and thereby ensure the country's food security: a temporary ban on the export of sunflower and rapeseed seeds; a quota for deliveries abroad of sunflower oil and cake, as well as solid residues from sunflower seeds; limiting the number of checkpoints for the export of soybeans and soybean meal from Russia; introduction of duties on the export of sunflower meal and oilseed flax.
The purpose of the research is to study the measures taken by the Government to protect the domestic food market and stabilize prices for important agricultural products, as well as to identify the main factors affecting the rise in food prices.
This study was conducted using the methods of statistical analysis, synthesis, comparison and deductive method.

The transition to the market economy in the Russian Federation caused a sharp weakening and change in the content of the vertical components of the economic system and a disruption of the existing horizontal information flows. A specialist of an agricultural enterprise must solve the problems of forming the range and volumes of products and assess the existing and expected future market needs for these products. To do this he/she must have information about the current state of the external environment and forecasts for the future. The functioning of domestic agricultural producers under the conditions of economic sanctions applied to Russia has necessitated the rapid development of production for the purpose of import substitution. This necessitates the transformation and adaptation of agricultural enterprises to the changed external environment. In turn, this forces us to adapt the internal environment, including the use of modern management technologies, the development of progressive forms of management of agricultural enterprises. The effectiveness of the implementation of the process approach in the enterprise depends not only on the fact that the principles of process management of technological processes are used at the operational level and when planning operations. It should be noted that each change in process parameters affects the financial and economic condition of the entire enterprise. At the process control level, these changes cannot be foreseen. This explains the relevance of introducing the stage of scenario modeling to support and justify strategic decisions. The article proposes an algorithm consisting of three consecutive blocks aimed at successive diagnostics of the internal environment of the enterprise, direct design and implementation of processes and management of subsystems.

The study substantiates the importance of an objective quantitative assessment of the feasibility of creating innovative alliances (solvates) in the industry of the region as the basic platform for structural reform of the national economy especially in the current conditions of a large scale crisis caused by the unprecedented pressure of the collective West on Russia. The purpose of the research is to develop recommendations for the use of intelligent tools of decision support for the rational use of the resources by the participants on the basis of the analysis of theoretical concepts and approaches to the formation of innovative alliances (solvates) in the industry of the region, taking into account their specifics and functional role in the circular process of creating new values. The methodological basis of the research is the convergence of resource-targeted (synchronization of potential sizes with goals) and systemic-synergetic approaches. Methods of scientific analysis and synthesis, economic and mathematical modeling, BigData have been used in the research. The information basis of the research has been formed using official information from the Federal State Statistics Service, as well as data from internal reporting of industrial enterprises. It has been determined that in complex transformational processes that reflect the new economic policy of the state, it is necessary to objectively assess the possibilities of solvates in the industry of a particular region, as well as to identify the reasons for underutilization of their potential. It has been substantiated that the successful implementation of the functions of managing the distribution (between the solvate participants) and the rational use of the resource potential of the association is largely associated with the objectivity of the analysis of the potential effect that can be produced by various forms of interaction. Model tools for assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of various options for organizing production and technological interactions of participants based on the principles of circularity and inclusiveness have been proposed.

The article considers the possibility of solving the urgent problems of insufficient solvent demand and low rates of economic growth of the Russian economy in the process of implementing social policy of an active participant in the process of increasing aggregate supply in the economy as a generator of production growth and employment growth.
Within the framework of the proposed new paradigm of social policy, the author of the article focuses on the need to strengthen the financial position of an individual by providing an additional and stable source of income through state financing of job search, training or opening their own business.
The specifics of the research is the author's proposal to focus special attention on the possibility of receiving financial support from the state in the Russian Federation on a gratuitous and irrevocable basis for the above-mentioned purposes in the form of:
– subsidies for the unemployed to start a business;
– grants for small businesses;
– social contracts.
Thus, an urgent requirement for the modern system of state financing of entrepreneurial activity in the Russian Federation in the conditions of the financial and economic crisis is the need for improvement and universality of use.
A prerequisite for the effective implementation of the new model of social policy is the provision of adequate opportunities for various segments of the population to open their own businesses in order to increase Russia's GDP (Gross Domestic Product), increase the number of taxpayers and expand the tax base, improve the country's macroeconomic indicators.
The positive dynamics of the national income of Russia, the personal income of the citizens of the country, and, consequently, the increase in the level and quality of their life, a decrease in the level of income differentiation is the final result of effective financial support for socially vulnerable segments of the population.
According to the author, the positive consequences of the successful implementation of the proposed approach in the implementation of social policy are as follows:
– macroeconomic ones (stable rates of economic growth, expansion of effective demand, falling unemployment, growth in employment, GDP, tax revenues to the budget, the level and quality of life of the population);
– microeconomic ones (growth of income of the population, decrease in the number of people in need of social support, decrease in the degree of differentiation of incomes of citizens).

The article discusses the analytical aspects of crisis reporting relevant in the conditions of uncertainty and crisis manifestations in the economy, reflected in the indicators of financial statements, unprofitability of activities, in trends of indicative analytical indicators. Some analytical aspects of crisis reporting have been considered, expressed in the presence of negative absolute indicators in reporting, in the frequency of occurrence and negative dynamics.
The indicators of a crisis situation, absolute analytical indicators, include insufficiency of own working capital, the presence and proportion of own working capital. It is a criterion indicator of the financial condition as a whole; its insufficiency may indicate an unstable position of the organization; the insufficiency of net working capital and its negative value signals the unsatisfactory solvency and liquidity of the organization, the unprofitability of production activities; the negative value of the balance of cash flows reflects the current insolvency and financial problems in the organization, indicates the absence of temporarily free funds in the organization; the insufficiency of net assets indicates an unstable situation, the negative dynamics of the indicator indicates a deterioration.
In crisis reporting, unprofitability of activities is reflected in the appearance of various losses and the presence of negative analytical relative indicators, which are indicative. In a trend economy, monitoring and their impact on the financial position of an organization is a necessary tool.
In analytical practice, there are difficulties in reading and understanding trends in the presence of losses in various periods of activity. The variability of economic situations in the presence of unprofitable activity has been considered; the conditions for trends in balance sheet profit (loss) in diagnosing the financial situation have been justified from the point of view of the laws of statistics and economic analysis.

The results of biochemical studies on the quantitative content of ascorbic acid and dry matter in the fruit pulp of Persica vulgaris (Mill.) are presented. Biochemical analyzes were carried out in 2017-2020 in the Laboratory of Physiology and Biochemistry of Plants of the Subtropical Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences on peach varieties of different ripening dates cultivated in the subtropical zone of the Krasnodar Territory. One of the micronutrients that has a powerful antioxidant function and helps neutralize free radicals in cells is vitamin C. The objects of the research are 14 peach varieties: Redhaven, Krasnaya Zarya (Redhaven clone), Collins, Maycrest, Dixired, Veteran, Favorit Morettini, June, Maria Serena, Ukrainian, Larisa, Fayette, Glorious. It has been revealed that the content of vitamin C in peach fruits depends on weather conditions, on the place of growth, ripening time and varietal characteristics. Biochemical analysis of peach fruits has shown varietal differences in the content of vitamin C. It has been revealed that, basically, varieties of early ripening (Collins, June, Spring call, Maria Serena) have a low content of ascorbic acid 8.10– 10.40 mg% compared to the control Redhaven variety. The varieties Krasnaya Zarya, Maycrest, Dixired, Favorit Morettini, Fayette, Redhaven have a high content of vitamin C 13.44–17.54 mg%. Indications of dry matter in peach fruits ranged from 7.21–28.0%, which indicate the quality, transportability and keeping quality.

According to the “Regulations on the implementation of state monitoring of lands”, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 28, 2002 No. 846, information is collected on the state of lands in the Russian Federation, processed and stored. Continuous monitoring of the use of lands is carried out on the basis of their intended purpose and permitted use, analysis and assessment of the qualitative state of land, taking into account the impact of natural and anthropogenic factors. Land monitoring is carried out by the federal executive authorities, the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments in accordance within their powers [1]. But, the ongoing monitoring does not provide the proper result for monitoring land plots and crop rotation fields as a production resource and is not carried out according to a number of parameters characterizing soil fertility that are essential for agricultural production. The specificity of accounting for agricultural lands as a natural resource used as the main means of production in agriculture requires different approaches and a wider list of indicators of the state of such lands and their fertility [2; 3]. In this regard, studies have been carried out to monitor agricultural lands and analyze the current state of the use of agricultural lands for effective agricultural production, and on its basis a comprehensive assessment of the ecological state of agricultural landscapes of the Republic of Adygea has been carried out. The authors have analyzed the state of agricultural lands at the present stage and identified possible ways of rational use of available crop lands. Factors limiting the placement of agricultural crops in specific areas of the republic and the reasons that reduce their productivity and product quality have also been established.
