Introduction. To ensure the sustainability of food security in the Black Sea region under conditions of socio-economic instability, it is necessary to optimize the management of agrarian nature management. In this context, a special role belongs to the development of food potential in the agro-industrial complex of the region. The purpose of the article is to analyze and study the directions of ensuring and regulating food security of the Black Sea region. Materials and methods. To achieve the established goal and solve certain problems on the basis of abstract-logical approach we used general scientific and specific methods: system analysis; content analysis; grouping and systematization; induction; deduction. Application of the intersectoral approach to the circular use of natural resources, determination of the peculiarities of agricultural production development allowed to form ways to improve the state regulation of the processes of food supply of the population of the region in the context of strengthening food security. Results. Measures in the following directions are proposed: state regulation of food security of the region in the sphere of international trade in food products; state regulation of food security of the region in the economic sphere; state regulation of food security of the region in the social sphere; state regulation of food security of the region in the direction of interaction with scientific and educational sphere. Discussion and conclusion. It was determined that the main goal of the regional mechanism of increasing food security should be the establishment of stable regional food supply chains by ensuring the effective use of agro-industrial potential of the region and increasing the purchasing power of the population to ensure its access to the necessary quality food products.

“…The growing geopolitical importance for Russia of the world ocean and the sea areas surrounding the country has created prerequisites for maritime research at the 'interface' with limology, which has gained popularity in recent years. This has attracted attention to coastal regional studies (including interregional comparative studies [47]), the typology of coastal territories [48]) and the substantiation of the concept of Russia's maritime border as a continuous and discrete socio-geographical feature, which has a special significance for the country's geopolitics and geo-economic interests shaped by the hierarchical co-development of leading marine economy centres, or 'strongholds' [49].…”

Originated in the 1960s, the ‘marine branch’ of Soviet, and later Russian, economic and social geography contributed to the diversification of geographical science and expanded its scope. The new branch was a product of the rapid growth of the marine economy and the country’s military infrastructure and settlement system starting to gravitate towards the World Ocean. This article uses bibliographical and scientometric materials to explore the factors, features and priorities of the development of the Russian post-Soviet human geography of the World Ocean. Special attention is paid to path dependence in the evolution of this branch of geography (associated with the established professional community, the fundamental research themes and the basic concepts) and the emergence of new growth poles within the scope of marine human geography. Although this subdiscipline showed a high degree of resilience in the first years after the demise of the USSR, it became marginalised from the scientific mainstream. The interest in marine studies revived only in the early 2000s, gaining momentum after a decade of desolation. The renaissance was due to new transboundary marine research, the analyses of the geopolitical and geoeconomic aspects of the marine economy and close attention given to coastal border areas (particularly the prospects and risks of the socio-economic development of these territories within the continent-ocean dichotomy). The marine focus of Russia’s geostrategy will generate steady demand for a national human geography of the World Ocean, including its inevitable humanities component. Another trend is the involvement of marine human geography in cross-branch geographical synthesis. The study also identifies Russian research and publication centres excelling at marine human geography.

“…Until 1991, Russia's maritime activity was carried out within the framework of a single all-Union economic complex focused on the most active development of the World Ocean (and, accordingly, the country's assertion as not only a continental, but also a sea power (Gorshkov, 1976). After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia, having formally become geographically more oceanic (96% of its maritime boundaries extend to Arctic and Pacific waters (Druzhinin, 2020a)), lost a significant part of the former coastal infrastructure of the Soviet Union (outside the Russian Federation, in the newly independent states, there are 15 large system-forming coastal cities, 9 out of 17 former Soviet shipping companies, and 25 out of 67 of its seaports (Alkhimenko, 2005). The growth of the maritime-oriented post-Soviet Russia that had manifested itself since 1994 was primarily a compensatory, restorative nature.…”

—One of the modern global trends is the accelerated formation of a “blue economy” based on transport and logistics, resource and raw materials, and other opportunities of the seas and oceans, which occupy more than 70% of the Earth’s surface. The article substantiates the growth in the importance of maritime economic activity for the Russian Federation and emphasizes the peculiarities of realizing its interests in the World Ocean, taking into account foreign policy, marketing and economic, technical and technological, financial and investment, infrastructural, and institutional opportunities and limitations. Attention is focused on the factors and features of the dynamics and spatial localization of such important industries for Russia as seaports and logistics, hydrocarbon production on sea shelves, production and processing of marine biological resources, shipbuilding, and coastal industry. It is shown that, on the one hand, Russia’s sphere of potential (declared) interests is the waters of the entire World Ocean and, on the other, the country’s maritime activity has a predominantly Circumeurasian (delimiting the mainland confined to its marginal seas) character, consistently shifting (under the influence of climatic, market, and geopolitical factors) into the Arctic, as well as the coastal zones and water areas of the Far East. The maritime interests of the leading Russian companies (Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil, NOVATEK, Rosatom and Rosatomflot, Sovkomflot, Norilsk Nickel, etc.) are emphasized, an inventory of limiting factors and the risks of further maritime orientation of the Russian economy has been compiled, and the most important areas of Russia’s presence in regions of the World Ocean in conditions of growing geopolitical turbulence and geoeconomic competition are identified. As specific results, we should single out the well-substantiated priority directions of Russia’s presence in the World Ocean, as well as the main priorities and directions for building up an effective Russian presence there. The identified limiting factors and limitations of maritime activity in modern Russia are of particular interest.
