Abstract
The article examines challenges, threats and risks of food security in Moldova in the context of providing the country’s population with foodstuff. It is noted that threats to food security in Moldova have now increased and are associated with political and macroeconomic, social and trade-economic, natural and man-made, technological and agro-ecological challenges and threats. It is concluded that the food security of Moldova is not ensured at the present stage; a qualitative transformation of Moldovan agricultural production is required, as well as an increase in its efficiency in the production of agricultural products and food in order to meet the needs of the domestic market.
Highlights
The sustainable functioning of the agro-industrial complex, which ensures the required level of production of all main types of products and the national food security of Moldova, guarantying the country’s food independence, is more important than ever for providing the population with its own food
This is due to the fact that, according to UNDP, the growing urban population of Moldova is at a very high food risk [16]
The situation with the coronavirus pandemic has shown that each state, closing itself within its national borders, is forced to solve its problems on its own, including such an important one as providing the population with food
Summary
- an increase in the cost of imported food products; - Moldova is one of the countries with a very high level of risk of doing fruit and berry and fruit and vegetable business due to its high dependence on supplies to one country: more than 95% of all apples are supplied to the Russian market with a rather unpredictable foreign trade policy.
