Abstract

Effective management of any system is impossible without a clear definition of its elements, hierarchical levels, and desired performance indicators. Considering this problem in the context of food security management, the authors set out to create a system of food security indicators at different hierarchical levels. The purpose of the article is to deepen theoretical and methodological provisions and develop a system of indicators as a component of food security management at different levels, which should meet the criteria and dimensions of the SDGs-2030. The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method and general scientific and special methods of scientific knowledge. The results obtained are of great practical importance in shaping national and regional food security policies (programs) on a sustainable development basis. Proceeding from the results of the research and the scientific and theoretical positions of the epistemological content of the category of the concept “food security”, taking into account the criteria of food security of formation at different hierarchical levels and methodological aspects of its monitoring, it is proposed 54 indicators.

Highlights

  • The process of food security should be accompanied by organized monitoring of the nature of the changes, their quantitative and qualitative assessment to prepare the appropriate recommendations, and management decisions

  • Considering this problem in the context of food security management, the authors set out to create a system of food security indicators at different hierarchical levels

  • It is obvious that the estimated indicators are not constant – they depend on the desirable criteria and specific features of a particular region, which forms the specific tasks of the state policy of each country to achieve food security grounding on sustainable development

Summary

Introduction

The process of food security should be accompanied by organized monitoring of the nature of the changes, their quantitative and qualitative assessment to prepare the appropriate recommendations, and management decisions. The monitoring system is based on a combination of economic and social indicators with indicators that reflect the results of activities of state authorities in food security. In the context of European integration, which involves openness of the internal and external markets of food, it is necessary to monitor the indicators of food security of the country at different hierarchical levels constantly, which will allow to react promptly to changes and to formulate corresponding state, regional and local policies. It is obvious that the estimated indicators are not constant – they depend on the desirable criteria and specific features of a particular region, which forms the specific tasks of the state policy of each country to achieve food security grounding on sustainable development
