РОЛЬ ТЕРИТОРІАЛЬНИХ ФАКТОРІВ У ТРАНСФОРМАЦІЇ МІСЦЕВОГО ПРОДОВОЛЬЧОГО ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ

Abstract

The article substantiates the role of territorial factors in the transformation of local food supply. It has been established that the modern globalized food system is the source of many economic, social and environmental problems. No economic system can guarantee absolute food security for the population. Retrospective analysis proved that economic crises were observed in different time periods, which were caused, among other things, by insufficient food supply in different countries and regions of the world. The food system built at the time was unable to solve the problems of food security in developing countries. In the future, this led to the creation of inequality, including in industrially developed countries, excluding the access of the most vulnerable part of the population to quality nutrition. The study established that the principle of geographical distribution and management is the basis for determining the territorial factors of influence on food supply. The negative content of the factors that determine the issue of local provision leads to the emergence of food threats. In response to these and other pressing social, economic and environmental challenges, the concept of a sustainable food system has recently emerged. In the article, the task of the research is defined and concerns the method of achieving a sustainable food system, namely the "territorial organization" of food systems. Within multi-level governance, the role of territorial factors in the transformation of local food supply plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable food system. The article structures the transformation factors of local food supply, which includes the following levels: national, regional, territorial, regional, local and individual. It was established that the relationships between the subjects of the food supply market have different scales, which is determined by their scope and territorial affiliation. In general, this contributes to a multi-level hierarchy of levels of factors influencing food security.
