Abstract
This paper examines the problem of food security in the Republic of Kazakhstan over the past 10 years. Based on statistical data, an assessment was made of the prevalence of malnutrition among the population of the country, including children under 5 years of age. There has been a trend towards for an improvement in the nutrition of the population for a few indicators; however, further optimization of food security indicators is required to achieve the goals of sustainable development (SDGs) of the FAO WHO Agenda for the period up to 2050 in Kazakhstan and in its individual regions. The paper reflects data on demographic changes over the past 10 years and its self-sufficiency in basic foods for 2019. A high degree of self-sufficiency in meat products (117.6%) is revealed in the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan. However, self-sufficiency in dairy products is at an extremely low level (0.1%). Camel breeding has been successfully developing in the country over the past 10 years. However, the number of camels in the country is still at a low level. Camel milk can be considered as a great source of macronutrients, its daily consumption partially facilitates the problem of Food Security in Kazakhstan.

Summary
Food security and nutrition are major issues of the global agenda, which are directly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Improving nutrition directly contributes to the achievement of the goal of ensuring healthy living conditions (SDG 3). Nutrition is a critical factor in achieving the global sustainable development goals and progress towards a more stable and prosperous society. There is a search for rational sources of high-value foods in conditions of natural resource depletion, climate change, and growth of the planet’s population, including in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The needs and priorities of food security for the world’s population are outlined in the FAO WHO, 2018, which reflects the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ways to increase resilience to climate impacts. Food security of an individual country is determined by climate conditions, demographic factors, self-sufficiency in the main types of food products, etc. [1]
