Highlights

In the context of modern globalization processes with a limited resource food base, problems of ensuring food security are of particular importance
[2] In these conditions, the question of how the state aligns the priorities of agrarian policy in the context of national security, how it overcomes the risks of an unstable transitional economy, when food production and its imports are subject to various fluctuations and there is no proven food quality control, becomes essential for political science and practice
The Ukrainian crisis and the entry of the Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol into the Russian Federation following the results of the referendum demanded a revision of the priorities of the agrarian policy, already in March 2014, at a meeting of the Government of the Russian Federation, the issue of the state of food security in Russia was specially considered and appropriate decisions were made

Summary

Introduction

In the context of modern globalization processes with a limited resource food base, problems of ensuring food security are of particular importance. [1] The complexity of the problem is due to the implementation of socio-economic reforms in line with the transition to a market economy against the background of the challenges of globalization, political risks in the macro- and micro-political environment. All this in recent decades has been accompanied by crisis phenomena in the economy and directly affects the food security of the Russian state. The new version of the Food Security Doctrine was approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated January 21, 2020 No 20, which clearly defined the criteria and indicators of import substitution in the agricultural sector and defined mechanisms for ensuring food security
