Ретроспективный анализ эволюции системы продовольственного обеспечения

Abstract

A retrospective study of the evolutionary transformation of the concept of food security in the context of Russian reality has been conducted. Currently, food security, as an integral part of national security, has become the cornerstone for maintaining economic stability and political autonomy in the country. With increasing geopolitical volatility and private food crises, this topic is becoming increasingly relevant, and maintaining national food security has taken a leading position among the priorities for each State. At the same time, the analysis of scientific research on this topical issue proves that the formation of national food security depends on its regional food security, therefore it is also especially important to study and improve regional food supply systems. It is determined that food security is an active integration process of interaction between internal and external factors, such as agricultural production, grain stocks, import and export of grain, international food aid, etc. It is noted that the modern food supply system must be considered as a complex system of macroeconomic organization that ensures a balance between food and the demand of the population. The analysis of the elements and characteristics of this system makes it possible to identify the most important problems of its functioning and development, the solution of which contributes to improving the efficiency of work and, as a result, to guarantee the necessary and sufficient level of national food security in conditions of high variability of the surrounding environment. At the same time, the national food security system is closely interrelated with the level of regional food management systems, and the modern concept of food security implies the need to ensure constant access to physical and economic nutrition for every citizen.
