Food security strategy of the Republic of Moldova (2023 - 2030) in the context of conceptual theoretical and practical approaches to population food supply

Abstract

The article analyzes the "Food Security Strategy of the Republic of Moldova (2023 - 2030)" in the context of existing international scientific and practical approaches to agro-industrial complex reform. It is mentioned that the strategy for ensuring food security, mechanisms for ensuring physical and economic accessibility of food do not fully comply with scientific approaches and international standards; the problem of improving the standard of living of the population is not solved, and the increasing level of poverty and the significant decrease in production, primarily of animal products, do not ensure the most important right of the population - the right to decent food. It is argued that the acute problem of providing food for the population requires Moldovan science and practice to carry out a thorough and comprehensive scientific study of all aspects of food security and to fully reflect them in the strategy for providing the population with the quantities of food necessary for an active and healthy life.
