The United States in the context of the global food problem. Experience for Russia

Abstract

The global food problem (GFP) is currently one of the most serious challenges to humanity. Without exaggeration, the future of modern civilization depends on how successfully it will be solved. The main ways to solve the GFP as a whole were formulated during the preparation for the global food forums, the last of which was held in September 2021 in New York, and consist of a set of activities implemented within the framework of the concept of sustainable development. There are two levels of implementation of measures – within the framework of international cooperation and at the national level. The latter involves the optimization of various aspects of the life of the agricultural sector of national states. At the same time, the study of the experience of countries that have achieved significant results in this direction is of particular value. For Russia, whose agricultural sector has been actively developing in recent years, such, in our opinion, is an example of the US agro–industrial complex - the country closest in terms of production scale, industry diversity, etc. In this article, in the context of the task of solving the GFP, a comparative analysis of the results achieved in this direction in the USA and Russia is carried out, as well as the development, taking into account a comprehensive study of the US experience, of recommendations for optimizing the development of the domestic agricultural sector.
