Barriers to a sustainable living in Italy: results of a national survey

Abstract Background Sustainable living plays a crucial role in creating a fairer society, but various constraints prevent consumers from adopting sustainable behaviours. This study investigated the reasons for non-adoption of sustainable products or behaviours among the Italian population. Methods From January to June 2023, we surveyed the Italian population using a 40-question online survey that asked about knowledge, awareness, and attitudes toward sustainable behaviours and products. Participants were asked about the reasons why they did not engage in a certain behaviour or did not use a selected product. Descriptive statistics, t-test and chi-square tests were performed to assess association with participant characteristics. Results The 420 participants had a median age of 39 years (interquartile range: 32-56), 66% were female. The largest discrepancy between knowledge of sustainability impacts and implementation was in the personal care (92% knowledge, 31% implementation) and transportation (85% knowledge, 48% implementation) domains. In general, the main reasons for not using the surveyed products were practical complications in everyday life (25%), the difficulty of finding or producing them (23%) and their cost (13%). Specifically, practical complications (42%) were the main reason for not adopting sustainable behaviours in the transport domain. In the personal care domain, low confidence in product quality or ignorance of their existence accounted for only 26% of reasons for non-use, while supply problems, practical complications in everyday life and existence unawareness accounted for 61%. Conclusions Targeted measures are needed to address the reasons for non-use or adoption of sustainable products and behaviours. In this way, these actions will help to promote healthy living, protect our planet, support socio-economic development, and ensure global prosperity. Key messages • A greater sustainability- implementation awareness gap was found in personal care and transportation domains. • The main reasons for not implementing sustainable living were practical complications in daily life, supply difficulties and product cost.

Integrating Machine Learning for Enhanced Agricultural Productivity: A Focus on Bananas and Arecanut in the Context of India’s Economic Growth

AbstractAgriculture is one of the sectors that has an important impact, taking into account the problem of sufficient food supply on a global level. The process of predicting the yield of crops is among the most challenging undertakings in the agricultural industry. Agriculture is the main source of income for most developing nations. The purpose of the study is to investigate the significant role that agriculture plays in boosting India's economic growth. Additionally, the research considers the challenges posed by a growing population and a changing environment in terms of agricultural production and food security. The research focuses on analysing the complex characteristics of the agricultural industry, with a particular emphasis on the nutritional importance of tropical fruits, notably bananas and arecanut. These fruits are well-known for their vital nutrients and their role in ensuring world food security. This study acknowledges the importance of sustainable agriculture practices and incorporates sophisticated machine learning algorithms as dynamic tools to forecast crop yields and enhance decision-making processes throughout the crop development cycle. The main aim of this study is to create strong machine learning models and statistical techniques that can accurately predict crop yield by combining a variety of environmental parameters, then assess which models outperform each other. Assist yield projections may provide governments and policymakers with valuable information to make well-informed choices about food security, import–export policies, and resource allocation. It facilitates national- and regional-level food supply planning. The validation method utilises important metrics like R square (R2), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). This present research adds to the continuing discussion on using creative methods to promote sustainable agricultural growth and ensure food security.

Multi Combustor Turbine Engine Acceleration Process Control Law Design

Abstract Focusing on the collaborative fuel supply and acceleration problem of multi combustor turbine engine, a variable geometry composite regulation acceleration control law design method based on the combination of compressor intermediate stage air bleed(CIB) and low-pressure turbine guide vanes(LTGV) is proposed. The multi combustor collaborative fuel supply law and variable geometry regulation law during acceleration process are obtained by Particle Swarm Optimization-Sequence Quadratic Program (PSO-SQP) optimization, and the composite regulation acceleration control strategy of dual/single combustion chamber idle acceleration process is explored. The multi combustor acceleration process simulation results indicate that the variable geometry composite regulation method can effectively alleviate the stability margin limitation of the compressor during the initial acceleration stage. Compared with conventional acceleration methods, the maximum relative reduction in acceleration time of our method reaches 26%; Enhancing the combustion exergy efficiency during the acceleration process can significantly improve the engine's acceleration performance.; For the acceleration process from single combustion chamber idle operation to normal operation of a dual combustion chamber, simultaneous fuel supply from both combustion chambers during acceleration has a shorter acceleration time. The research results of this paper can provide important references for the design of transition state control systems for multi combustor turbine engines.

A Lagrange barrier approach for the minimum concave cost supply problem via a logarithmic descent direction algorithm

The minimisation of concave costs in the supply chain presents a challenging non-deterministic polynomial (NP) optimisation problem, widely applicable in industrial and management engineering. To approximate solutions to this problem, we propose a logarithmic descent direction algorithm (LDDA) that utilises the Lagrange logarithmic barrier function. As the barrier variable decreases from a high positive value to zero, the algorithm is capable of tracking the minimal track of the logarithmic barrier function, thereby obtaining top-quality solutions. The Lagrange function is utilised to handle linear equality constraints, whilst the logarithmic barrier function compels the solution towards the global or near-global optimum. Within this concave cost supply model, a logarithmic descent direction is constructed, and an iterative optimisation process for the algorithm is proposed. A corresponding Lyapunov function naturally emerges from this descent direction, thus ensuring convergence of the proposed algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Экология техносферы человеческого сообщества

In the 19th century, the sphere of interest of the science of “ecology” was formulated. Over the course of a century and a half, the semantics of its tasks has undergone significant changes. However, the original definition of ecology given by E.G. Haeckel, as a science about the interaction of living and inanimate nature, has again become relevant with the technological development of mankind. This development led to the emergence of an alternative habitat - the technosphere. The technosphere, within the framework of environmental ideas, is considered as a formation deeply hostile to nature in its essence. Nature is considered as a certain ideal that creates favorable conditions for the existence of living organisms in it. The experience of natural disasters and cataclysms, accompanied by the mass death of living organisms, indicates that this is an idealized idea. The existence of modern man outside the technosphere is practically impossible. The techno-sphere takes on the task of providing humanity with protection from pathogens. An example of such control is the use of DDT against vectors of malaria and other diseases. The technosphere solves problems in relation to humanity that are similar to providing the body with food, solving the problems of energy supply and movement over various distances – both people and cargo. The technosphere is evolving, using the achievements of developing sciences and technologies, reducing the specific impact on the natural environment while meeting the needs of the individual. For the further development of human ecology at the intersection of natural and artificial, the solution of traditional management problems is required: strict control of raw materials, technologies and products used, and their rational distribution. This is important since the human population is steadily growing and a significant part of the planet’s population finds itself in conditions of food and energy shortages, while the other part has an abundance of resources.

Research on mobile energy storage scheduling strategy for emergency power supply protection of post-disaster isolated loads

Aiming at the problem of insufficient power supply capacity of isolated loads in oceanic islands, a concept based on mobile energy storage and power conservation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the energy flow and traffic flow characteristics of mobile energy storage are quantitatively analyzed, and an accurate mathematical model is established. Furthermore, the time-space distribution characteristics of load are carefully considered, and the Voronoi diagram and Tyson polygon method are introduced to determine cell differentiation. On this basis, combined with the power demand of load nodes and the energy storage characteristics of mobile energy storage vehicles, the evaluation indicators of cell energy and relative surplus energy of cells are designed, and the agent-cellular automata algorithm is used to schedule the mobile energy storage. The simulation results show that the power supply mode based on mobile energy storage can effectively improve the reliability of isolated loads. This paper provides a new perspective for solving the reliable power supply problem of isolated loads.

A Compact Broadband Rectifier Based on Coupled Transmission Line for Wireless Power Transfer

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) can effectively solve the problem of autonomous power supply for low-power devices. Rectifier is the key component in WPT technology. In this paper, a novel impedance matching network for the broadband rectifier is proposed. This impedance matching network compensates for the diode impedance and reduces its impedance change when the frequency or input power changes. The passive boosting mechanism utilizing coupled transmission lines (CTLs) improves the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the diode in the low power region. The structure is especially optimized for low-power device applications. For validation, a broadband rectifier operating at 1.9–3 GHz is fabricated and measured. The structure fabricated on the Rogers 4003 substrate with a thickness of 1.508 mm and the diode is HSMS2860. The DC voltage Vout on the load (RL=1300 Ω) was measured. The results show that at 0 dBm, the PCE keeps more than 60% at 1.98–3 GHz. The peak PCE of 79.6% is obtained at 4 dBm. The compact size of the broadband rectifier is 19 mm × 21 mm. This broadband rectifier for low input power ranges can be applied to WPT technology.

A comparative performance study of terminal control strategy for the multi-split backplane cooling system in data centers

Multi-split backplane cooling, a typical rack-level cooling technology, has the advantage of solving local hot-spot problems with huge energy-saving potential. These systems adopt the multi-split mode, and the operation effect is affected by terminal control performance. However, there are factors in the operation process, such as superheat degree (SH), rack airflow, evaporating/condensing pressures, etc., which improve the control complication, particularly under large head load differences among different terminals. Therefore, appreciative control strategies for outlet air temperatures of terminal evaporators, including single-loop control limited by minimum stable superheat degree (SLC) and fan/electronic expansion valve (EEV) double-loop control (DLC), are proposed considering that cooling performance can be affected by both refrigerant flow and airflow. Then, comparative simulation studies are carried out to evaluate energy efficiency, control effect, and feasibility under the condition of different server heat distribution characteristics. Results indicate that the DLC strategy achieves 23% higher energy efficiency than the SLC strategy with a better temperature control effect when the inlet air temperature (IAT) difference between terminal evaporators is within ±5K. The SLC strategy has better reliability by more stable control of SH at IATs below 42°C, but it may lead to cooling failure when IATs exceed 42°C. An insufficient liquid supply problem may happen to the evaporator adopting the DLC strategy when the IAT is too high, which can be solved by adjusting the pressure differential between the evaporator and condenser. Moreover, the DLC system exhibits intense coupling effects, and how to decouple it is worthy of further study.

CALCULATION TO DETERMINE THE TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF PUMPING UNITS FOR LIFTING WATER FROM WATERCOURSES POWERED BY WATER ENERGY FOR WATERING PASTURES AND IRRIGATION OF LAND

The problem of effective water supply using natural energy resources of water in modern conditions is promising and relevant, the solution of which is rationally carried out from watercourses with the necessary standard sizes of a hydraulic ram pumping unit, the design of which has a novelty. At the Kazakh National Agrarian Research University conducted applied research to improve the efficiency of water supply from watercourses in the system of irrigation of lands and irrigation of pastures of peasant and farm farms of the agro-industrial complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan through the development of an improved hydraulic ram pumping unit with an increase in its energy indicators: hydraulic shock pressure, supply, pressure and efficiency. This article presents a calculation to substantiate the economic efficiency of the studies carried out on the use of the necessary standard sizes of an improved hydraulic ram pumping unit (NUV-7-12 and NUV-17-20) for water supply to peasant and farm farms of the Republic of Kazakhstan and irrigation of lands located in areas of adjacent watercourses, compared with basic pumping units (AN - 2K - 9 - M1 and ANS-60 D).

The history of orphanages in Central Kazakhstan in the 1940–1950s.

In thearticle the functioning of orphanages in Central Kazakhstan during the war and the first years after it based on archival materials and memoirswas analyzed. The focus of the study is orphanages and children/adolescents who were left without families and placed in public care for various reasons (famine, deportations, the Great Patriotic War, evacuation, political repressions and arrests of parents, death of parents, etc.). The children’s contingent and their composition in the regional orphanages, highlighting the main sources of children's enrollmentwere studied by the authors. Authors analyzed children’s material, housing, sanitary and hygienic living conditions. Special attention was paid to health issues and the quality of medical care, problems of nutrition and supply of food and non-food products, education. The authors concluded that a sharp increase in the number of children in orphanages in Central Kazakhstan occurred in the 1940s. The situation in orphanages was extremely difficult: high overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, hunger, diseases, abuse, etc. Detectable improvements were noted only by the mid-1950s. They were explicit in the enhancement of the orphanages’ material conditions: quality of food, clothing, education and general appearance of orphanages and the inmates themselves.

The role of distribution centres in the logistics infrastructure of Kazakhstan

Distribution centres play a key role in the supply chain and their insufficient number will entail supply chain disruptions —supply delays and problems, as well as lost profits. Currently, distribution centres in Kazakhstan are located only in large cities. However, the growth of e-commerce (from 11729.9 billion tenge to 15763.7 billion tenge in 2022 compared to 2020) determines the need to solve this problem. Our study establishes the dependence between the areas of distribution centres and the e-commerce volume. This analysis, unlike the existing ones, examines the effect of the growth of e-commerce volumes on the increasing number of distribution centres as a prerequisite for the development of the logistics infrastructure of Kazakhstan against the background of the increase in the volume of goods supplied from China in transit to Europe. The aim of the study was to analyse the role of distribution centres in the logistics infrastructure of Kazakhstan. We justify the need to increase the number of distribution centres due to the increase in both turnover in goods transit, wholesale, and retail trade. The introduction of distribution centres ensures the continuous movement of goods and strengthens the connection between suppliers and consumers. The emergence of new technologies and innovations, combined with favourable market conditions and political support, creates favourable conditions for the development of reliable distribution centres that can improve logistics efficiency and contribute to the overall economic development of Kazakhstan.

Measuring the impact of automated dispensing cabinets implementation on data and inventory management of human normal immunoglobulin in an acute teaching hospital: A pre- and post- intervention study

BackgroundHuman Normal Immunoglobulin (HNIg) is a complex plasma-derived blood product used to treat a variety of medical conditions. Global supply problems have increased focus on HNIg stewardship, including mandatory recording of HNIg usage on the National Immunoglobulin Database (NIgD). Local departmental audits identified significant inconsistencies in data uploaded to NIgD. Inventory management issues caused a number of stock losses in the last financial year. A paper-based HNIg batch number recording system was replaced with the use of Automated Dispensing Cabinets (ADCs), which generated an electronic batch number report, with matching fields required for electronic upload to NIgD. AimTo measure the impact of ADC implementation on the accuracy of data uploaded to NIgD, HNIg stock control and staff time associated with processes of HNIg data and inventory management. MethodThree months of pre- and post-implementation HNIg dispensing data was compared to the data uploaded to the NIgD for discrepancies. Inventory reports were used to identify unexplained stock adjustments. Time and motion methods were used to quantify staff time associated with HNIg activities. ResultsPre-implementation: 20.7 % (3762.5 g/18,217 g) of HNIg by volume (23.7 % of dispensing episodes; 66/279) were inaccurately uploaded or absent on the NIgD and three stock adjustments were made (loss of >£15 k). Post-implementation: 12 % (2325 g/19,347 g) of HNIg by volume (10.8 % of dispensing episodes; 31/286) were inaccurately uploaded or absent on the NIgD and zero stock adjustments were observed; Mean time for dispensing per HNIg prescription reduced from 17 min to 8 min; Time spent uploading data to NIgD per month reduced from 5 h to 1.75 h. Discussion/ConclusionThe use of ADCs improved accuracy of NIgD data upload. Following implementation direct observations have cited unregistered or finished patient episodes, dispensing procedural compliance, and user familiarity with the system as common reasons for incomplete data uploads to NIgD. The new ADC process had consequences of forcing dispensing procedure compliance to improve uploads, whilst reducing dispensing times. It led to improved stock control and removed upload burden from dispensers. ADC stock discrepancy alerts allowed staff to proactively resolve discrepancies in real time. Time taken for additional processes to support management of stocks in ADCs, including monthly stock cycle counts, were important considerations for implementation. The key advantage of using ADC batch number reports is the ability to upload as a single monthly batch without having to manually access individual patient records on the NIgD. It facilitates early identification of failed upload attempts and supports resolution of stock discrepancies.

Low frequency vibration monitoring of wind turbine tower based on optical fiber sensor and its potential for internet of things

Among all renewable energy sources, wind energy is a cost-effective alternative energy source. The majority of wind turbines are built in harsh environments due to their power generation characteristics, which is one of the prime reasons resulting in frequent failures of wind turbine. Among various failures, the vibration of wind turbine tower cannot be ignored because it is a precursor of the failure of the wind turbine. The electrical vibration sensors have the problems of power supply and electromagnetic interference for the condition assessment of wind turbine tower. A vibration sensor based on optical Fabry-Perot (F-P) interference principle with high sensitivity is designed, fabricated and characterized to further meet the requirements of vibration detection of wind turbine tower. The mechanical simulation model of the diaphragm and optical vibration platform is constructed to verify the sensing characteristic of the F-P optical fiber vibration sensor (OFVS). The experiment results indicate a resonant frequency of the F-P OFVS of 223 Hz, an output sensitivity of 122.22 mV/m·s−2 at 10 Hz, and a horizontal output of less than 6 %. In addition, the designed F-P OFVS possesses the superiorities of compact structure, passive and excellent anti-electromagnetic interference, and has a wide application prospect in the vibration detection of the wind turbine tower.

Investigating the influence of geometry on the performance of a wave-powered marine observation buoy: The wave-to-wire approach

As an important marine monitoring platform, marine observation buoys have been widely used in marine environmental monitoring, marine resource surveys, etc., attracting great attention worldwide. However, the lack of a reliable power supply is a crucial problem that seriously restricts buoys’ operation lifetime and carrying capacity. The floating buoy with an inbuilt wave energy harvester is a promising solution to the long-term and sustainable energy supply problem. This study develops a fully coupled wave-to-wire (W2W) mathematical model where the relevant friction parameters and power-take-off system parameters are identified from flume experimental results. Besides, the influence of geometry on the buoy’s electric power performance is investigated under regular and irregular waves, respectively. Numerical results imply that the cylinder-cone-shape buoy produces the most electric power when the three shapes have the same geometric sizes, while the cylinder-sphere-shape buoy performs the best W2W efficiency among the three shapes with the same mass. Moreover, a high W2W efficiency of up to 23.13% is gained under a regular wave. Finally, according to the similarity theory, the averaged electric power of a full-size buoy is estimated at 4.84kW in realistic sea states.

A systematic review of indications when and how a military walking blood bank could bridge blood product unavailability.

Blood supply problems in remote areas are well known. To overcome this shortage, many countries have developed innovative walking blood bank (WBB) protocols. However, no common standards have yet been set for their use and common actions. Given that these procedures involve a certain risk, it would be interesting to analyse the activating criteria that lead to using this unusual protocol. Thus, this review aimed to identify indications for a WBB and the common risk mitigation measures. This PRISMA-compliant review only included studies published from 1985 to 25th of January 2023 that describe adult male military casualties requiring blood transfused locally using a walking blood transfusion protocol. All relevant data (i.e., activation and contextual factors and risk mitigation measures) were tabulated to retrieve information from the selected military studies. Our results indicated that activation criteria were homogeneous across the 12 reviewed studies. Whole blood was collected from a WBB when there was a shortage of blood products and when platelets were needed. In the literature reviewed, the main risks associated with such a protocol, namely hemolytic adverse events and transfusion transmitted diseases, are mitigated by the use of typing and screening measures if they are reported. However, there is less consistency in the implementation of those risk mitigation measures. This unusual protocol needs to be integrated into the medical support plan until conventional transfusion support can take over, and should include on-site blood collection from a donor, whether a WBB or an emergency donor panel. The benefits of such a protocol outweigh the risks in a life-threatening situation, especially since these risks can be anticipated and minimised by planning to pre-screen all potential donors before their deployment. Finally, educating and training the staff who must implement this unusual procedure can also improve the safety and survival rate of future patients.

Risks of sanitation and water supply in Pontianak City poorer areas settlements

Abstract The availability of sufficient and safe drinking water is one of the criteria for a settlement to be declared as a poorer area. Areas declared as poorer areas by the city government have water supply problems that require intervention. The Sanitation Risk Index is calculated using a questionnaire on households regarding sanitation conditions and water supply. This research examines the relationship between the Sanitation Risk Index and its effect on water use, as well as the strategies implemented to reduce sanitation risks in water supply in poorer areas in Pontianak City, West Kalimantan. The city of Pontianak is located downstream of Kapuas River. Many settlements grow along riverbanks and require clean water and adequate sanitation facilities. This study began with an assessment of sanitation conditions and clean water supply with a sanitation risk assessment using a questionnaire in poorer areas. The results of the questionnaire led to calculation of the Sanitation Risk Index (IRS). Descriptive and statistical analyses show the relationship between IRS and water supply. In obtaining the water supply strategy carried out here, it was found that more than 50% of the population uses refillable water for drinking; however, rainwater and river water are still used by poorer area settlements for daily activities. The sanitation risk index was 350, indicating the influence of sanitation risk on the quality and supply of water in Pontianak City poorer area settlements. There are urgent problems that must be resolved in the clean water supply sector in the studied poorer areas.

Experimental analysis on improving heat storage efficiency of high-temperature packed bed system using spherical capsules filled with MgCl2–KCl–NaCl/Al2O3 nanoparticles composite phase change material

While thermal energy storage (TES) systems are becoming crucial to the stable operation of solar power plants, molten salt packed bed thermal energy storage (PBTES) systems attracted widespread attention due to their wide operating temperature range and low cost. However, achieving high-efficiency thermal storage systems is still a datum challenge to meet the higher energy demand, as well as sustainable development and utilization of renewable energy systems. This study developed spherical capsules employing nanocomposite salts (MgCl2–KCl–NaCl/Al2O3 nanoparticles) as composite phase change materials to experimentally study the heat storage process of a high-temperature PBTES prototype experimental system. Also, the heat storage performance of the PBTES system under different operating conditions is further investigated. The results showed that the nanocomposite salt gradually melted along the flow direction of the heat transfer fluid by exhibiting three-stage characteristics including solid phase sensible heat, phase change latent heat, and liquid phase sensible heat. Also, the temperature difference inside and outside the capsules showed the characteristics of peak-trough-peak. The PBTES system reached a heat storage density of 1290.51 MJ m−3 at a thermal efficiency of 86.95 %. The average heat storage rate increased by 49.55 % and the heat storage time was shortened by 29.67 % when the blower speed was increased from 800 r·min−1 to 1200 r·min−1. The experimental results implied that the PBTES system encapsulating nanocomposite salts has excellent thermal performance. This study demonstrated solving the problems of insufficient thermal energy supply in time or space and improving energy utilization could result in a high-efficiency thermal storage system.

Public Health Insurance and Labor Supply of Middle-aged and Elderly People in China

According to cross-sectional data in 2013 wave and 2015 wave of CHARLS, there is research for effects of public health insurance on labor supply of people who are middle-aged and elderly in China by Ordinary Least Square. China is facing severe labor supply problems because of the aging population. Moreover, people who are middle-aged and seniors play a significant role in Chinese labor market. The paper will focus on studying labor participation and the labor hours of middle-aged and older adults. Meanwhile, public health insurance is one of the focuses of this research. Nowadays, there is a significant public health insurance named New Rural Cooperative Medical insurance (NRCMI), which has been implemented for many years. It aims to support the health status of people who are middle-aged and seniors. After a series of calculations and studies, it shows that NRCMI has great effects on labor decisions of people in middle-aged and seniors. NRCMI can improve the labor participation by 11.6 percentage points, and it can also increase the labor hours by 239.343 hours. Therefore, NRCMI has a tremendous impact on China's labour supply, and the government should increase the promotion of NRCMI and ensure the full implementation.

Optimal Scheduling of Island Microgrids with Seawater Pumped Storage Plants for Multi‐Energy Complementarity

The rapid development of new energy sources, such as offshore wind power and photovoltaic power, has provided a new solution to the problem of power supply for islands far from the mainland. Wave energy is a kind of renewable energy originated from the ocean, but the existing island power supply programs seldom consider this favorable natural condition. In addition, seawater variable‐speed pumped storage is a new idea to consume offshore wind power and improve the reliability of coastal and island power systems. In view of the stochastic and intermittent nature of new energy sources, this paper adopts seawater variable‐speed pumped storage power plants as energy storage equipment, and put forward an island power supply scheme with wind power, photovoltaic power generation, wave power generation, pumped storage power plants and diesel generator sets as a multifunctional complementary isolated grid. Firstly, wave energy generators, wind farms, photovoltaic farms, pumped storage power stations and diesel generator sets are modeled separately. Then, considering their respective operating conditions, constraints and load requirements, the optimal scheduling of island microgrids with multi‐energy complementarity is constructed. Finally, based on the improved particle swarm optimization algorithm, the model is solved. According to the wind power photovoltaic and wave power output curves of several typical scenarios in an island far away from the mainland, the cost and benefit of different schemes are compared to verify the effectiveness of the optimal scheduling in this paper. © 2024 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan and Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Современные проблемы обеспечения продовольственной безопасности

The article examines the problems of food security and the sequence of their identification, by reviewing the main indicators of food security, analyzing some of them, forecasting for the period 2023-2025. Such an indicator as the consumer price index for basic food products, and also suggests ways to solve the problems of food supply. During the implementation of theoretical studies, the assumption was confirmed that the main solution to the problem of food security for the country's population is to stimulate the agro-industrial sector to increase production volumes with the active use of import substitution.
