FACTORS OF INFLUENCE ON FOOD SECURITY OF THE STATE

Abstract

The article is devoted to determining the factors that affect the food security of any country. The work defines the concept of "food security". It has been proven that food security is affected by a large number of factors. The classical distribution of influence factors is given. An improved classification of factors affecting the food security of the state is proposed, which, unlike the existing ones, proposes to consider all factors (by the criterion of subjectivity, by the position regarding the object of influence, by the nature of the consequences, by types and by the duration of the impact on the object) in depending on the level of the system - mega-level, macro-level, meso-level and micro-level, which will allow building a stable system of food security of the state. The main subjects of guaranteeing (ensuring) food safety are presented, depending on the hierarchical levels of the system. Stabilizing and destructive factors affecting the food security of the state in the context of internal influencing factors are carefully considered. It is suggested that within the framework of the classification of factors affecting food security by species, consider institutional factors, to which boycotts, sanctions and anti-sanctions should be classified. The global factors affecting food security affecting all levels of the system are given separately. The need for state support was noted as one of the most important factors influencing food security. It was concluded that the development of food security is influenced by numerous factors that can be grouped and classified according to the main characteristics, to assess their impact on the overall level of food security in order to make the necessary effective management decisions, develop measures to reduce the level of internal and external threats and increase economic security of the country, the region, every person and the world community in general.
