Recent decades have been defined by the principles of development, liberal democracy, market economy and sophisticated competition. A new generation grew up on these claims, believing that economic growth, interdependence, freedom of thought and speech, and human progress were as predictable as they were inevitable. However, in 2022 the situation has changed radically, the consequences of which are the basis for the spread of the food crisis, both in Ukraine and in the world as a whole. The aim of the article is to identify obvious and inconspicuous factors of the food crisis in Ukraine and the world, characterize the risks of new segments of financial tensions, identify issues of segmentation of markets and production, the formation of relevant trade blocs. The subject of research - current trends of financial tensions, changes in financial, economic and food supply chains, new threats of food crises. The research hypothesis is the unconditional influence of the consequences of financial and economic deformations on the tendencies of modification of food chains, regional centers of food security, the emergence and spread of the food crisis on all continents and opportunities to prevent it. Methods used in the study: comparison, comparison, systematic and analytical approaches, generalization and classification, dialectical and formal logic. Presenting main material. It is established that currently Ukrainian society is at a critical stage of historical development, the existing economic landscapes are changing instantly. The global pandemic, new external positions, and climate change indicators have already made a negative contribution to the future of the economy and financial markets: too much external debt, too low projected growth and too fast-growing inflation are currently being noted. Neither the government nor civil society is able to meet these challenges alone, so domestic and global cooperation is becoming vital to us. Some countries are taking unilateral trade measures today, which is exacerbating the crisis. It is emphasized that the lack of food security is a catalyst for all crises, which directly leads to armed conflict. The originality and practical significance of the results is the possibility of applying the recommendations to improve accounting and analytical and financial control procedures, improving the efficiency of business processes of economic entities in modern conditions. Conclusions of the study. Thus, the current year becomes the starting point of the economic downturn, which causes the application of austerity measures, which in turn will lead to new manifestations of populism and new uncompromising positions. Regardless of whether discount rates will rise or oil prices fall, influential investors will continue to grow and determine the direction of the global financial capital market.
