Modeling of Cluster Processes in the Sphere of Manufacture of ECO-Products: Issues of Ecological and Food Security of Russia

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to model cluster processes in the sphere of manufacture of ECO-products as a perspective direction for ecological and food security of Russia. For that, the work uses the method of horizontal analysis and analysis of causal connections, as well as proprietary method of evaluation of national ecological security, traditional method of evaluation of national food security, and method of modeling of socio-economic processes. The authors determine the level and evaluate dynamics of development of situation in the sphere of ecological and food security of Russia, conduct analysis of current state and problems of development of the sphere of manufacture of ECO-products in Russia and cluster processes in this sphere, and develop cluster model of import-substitution in the sphere of manufacture of ECO-products as a perspective direction of provision of ecological and food security of Russia. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that modern Russia is characterized by low level of ecological and food security. Its increase requires the usage of cluster instrumentarium. Modeling of cluster processes in the sphere of manufacture of ECO-products showed that clustering allows solving all the main problems of development of this sphere, which pre-determines its high effectiveness.
