Abstract: The subject of the study are the norms of criminal and administrative law, providing for the liability for damage to land (soils). The purpose of the research is to formulate conclusions and proposals on improving legal regulation in this area based on the analysis of federal legislation. The relevance of the research topic is evidenced by the fact that, on the one hand, agriculture is of great importance for ensuring food security in Russia, and on the other hand, this type of anthropogenic activity is one of the significant pollutants of the environment, while such an important component of the natural environment as soil (land) is experiencing a huge burden from agriculture. Thus, the protection of the natural environment as a whole and its individual components in agriculture is an important task. Accordingly, the improvement of legal regulation in this area will contribute not only to improving the level of nature protection, but also to ensuring the country's food security. The paper draws a number of conclusions and proposals aimed at improving the effectiveness of criminal liability. Thus, in order to significantly expand the scope of Article 254 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, as well as increase its environmental potential, it is proposed to use the following wording of Part 1 of the article 254: "Soil pollution or damage as a result of economic or other activities that have caused harm to human health or the environment." The use of the term "pollution" will make it possible to include in criminal acts not only pollution with dangerous substances, but also other types of it, for example, energy pollution, the term "spoilage", in turn, will imply some other negative impact on the soil, for example, the destruction of its fertile layer.

Abstract: The author describe the features of the legal regulation of aquaculture (fish farming). For the Russian Federation, fish farming is mainly at the stage of formation. The author analyzes the basic concepts used in the field under consideration and draws a parallel with similar terms used in the field of fishing. The author considers the configuration of the current legal regulation of aquaculture, as well as the prospects for its development. Special attention is paid to modern legislative gaps and topical issues that need to be addressed by the legislator, and the main directions for improving legislation in this area are outlined. In addition, the main environmental risks of aquaculture in case of non-compliance with legal requirements are identified. The methodological basis of the work is: general scientific dialectical, as well as private scientific methods of cognition - formal legal and comparative legal methods. It is noted that currently aquaculture in the Russian Federation is at the stage of evaluating and comprehending previously adopted legislative acts and measures of state support. The author formulated the main issues in the field of legal regulation of aquaculture, which require special attention for the development of this area of the fisheries complex. So, in particular, they include certain aspects of regulating the turnover of fish farms, measures taken to provide Russian fisheries with high-quality feed and planting material, the need to take new measures in the field of agricultural insurance for aquaculture, and others. The paper identifies the main problems hindering the stable and effective development of domestic aquaculture, as well as provides proposals and innovative technologies that contribute to their resolution.

Abstract: The article examines the regulatory norms governing the production of organic products through the prism of categorical analysis, taking into account the synergy of the main indicators of environmental friendliness, agricultural raw materials and finished food products developed during the analysis of existing laws and standards related to organic farming, including international and national regulations, rules for certification of organic products, requirements for the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The authors have attempted to identify and classify various aspects of levels of environmental friendliness of products and raw materials, taking into account such factors as conservation of biodiversity, careful use of resources, and reduction of anthropogenic impact on soil and reservoirs. The impact of several key consumer factors on trust in organic products was considered, such as access to complete and reliable product information, an informed and rational approach to purchasing and using goods, the desire to support local producers and motivation to purchase locally produced goods. In turn, consumer trust and sustained commitment should be ensured by regulatory measures to identify and support bona fide organic producers. For example, such as certification of organic production conducted by independent organizations, campaigns to raise awareness of the differences between organic products and responsible organizations, the allocation of grants and subsidies to create reliable digital sources of information and control within the framework of an evolving product traceability system. Based on the analysis, the authors made recommendations for improving the regulatory framework governing the processes of production, turnover and processing of organic products according to the degree of influence on the possibility of classifying a product to a certain level of environmental friendliness according to five main indicators: raw materials, production, ingredients, energy and efficiency. This approach can serve as a basis for the development of regulatory requirements for food products, in turn, it will help create a more sustainable market for processed food products that meets the needs and expectations of modern consumers.

Abstract: The article examines the trend of summarizing agricultural productivity in the format of fairs, festivals and exhibitions, emphasizes the acquired new features of this activity. The fair is a special, many times enlarged market with an atmosphere of festive trade, which activates the conclusion of trade deals and gives increased dynamics and expansion of the trading space. The agricultural festival also includes extensive trade, but the festival's retail space is clothed in an attractive shell of a theatrical spectacle with various cultural events. An agricultural festival is closer to urban sociality than a market. And it carries a huge potential for entertainment. A distinctive feature of agricultural exhibitions is that they carry a much greater scientific potential compared to the other agricultural events. The material elaborated for the article leads an analytical line from history to the present. Agricultural fairs, festivals and exhibitions are considered in comparison of the Russian approach to holding such events with foreign ones, more European, however, modern agricultural traditions of the American continent are not ignored, especially with the high productivity of the agricultural sector of the United States of America. When analyzing these forms of exposure of agricultural achievements, agricultural crops are highlighted that focus such large agricultural events. The agricultural exposition in various forms is analyzed in the article within the framework of fruit and vegetables production. When considering the three largest and most popular agricultural events, the author emphasizes the international format of this activity in her conclusions, one of the gaining power features being agricultural tourism. Agriculture is a fruitful environment for building successful international contacts, because it provides the food industry, thus taking a leading role in supporting people's livelihoods.

Abstract: Since children and teaching staff spend a significant amount of time in the schoolyard, it is important to maintain a healthy state of green spaces, which is directly related to maintaining ecological balance and improving the quality of the environment. The presence of green areas on school grounds has a positive impact on the health of students, as they spend a significant part of the day inside school premises and need fresh air. In addition, the green areas serve as training grounds for classes in biology, ecology and other subjects. This study is devoted to the study of the territory of secondary school No. 2 in Yoshkar-Ola (Republic of Mari El), located at 46 Osipenko St. and named after O.A. Tikhomirova. In the period 2022-2023, an inventory of woody and shrubby plants was carried out using generally accepted methods [9], and an inventory plan and statement were compiled. Thus, the condition of the tree and shrub plantations on the territory of school No. 2 in the city of Yoshkar-Ola, named after O.A. Tikhomirova, can be assessed as satisfactory. At the same time, the largest number of trees and shrubs belongs to the second vital category, where species such as hanging birch and small-leaved linden predominate. The number of drying plants is minimal – only one specimen of a cultivated apple tree. In general, the environmental situation on the territory of the educational institution is favorable, creating optimal conditions for children and teachers to stay outdoors. However, it should be noted that certain areas of the schoolyard could be improved by planting new ornamental shrubs. This would not only diversify the flora of the area, but also make it more attractive from an aesthetic point of view. In addition, such an event would help to increase the level of biological diversity on the school grounds, which would have a positive impact on the overall environmental situation.
