- Abstract
A country’s food security is associated with the problem of protecting its national interests, which includes meeting the demand of the population for high-quality food products and ensuring socio-economic stability in general. Therefore, the government at the federal and regional levels must create the necessary conditions for both the development of agricultural production and its service industries, and the development of rural areas, thereby ensuring socio-economic stability in the society. At the same time, to ensure food security, it is important to reduce to a reasonable extent the volume of food and important agricultural resources imports. At the same time, it should create balanced structures for food export and import, as well as its sufficient reserves. The studies of the agricultural production and consumption in Russia made it possible to substantiate and specify the factors and principles of self-sufficiency in agricultural raw materials and food. It is substantiated that the national food security and independence take into account zonal specialization; levels of regional self-sufficiency in basic foodstuffs, market infrastructure development; the global agro-food and major resource markets impact, as well as the globalization processes, and increased agricultural policy protectionism agricultural policy; the need to strengthen state regulation of the agricultural sector.
