The article is aimed at forming a methodical approach to the assessment of tendencies in production, sales and organization of consumption of food products and services, which includes all the components of the food sector and allows to conduct a comprehensive assessment of tendencies in its development. The proposed methodical approach includes assessment of the status and dynamics of food supply to the population, assessment of the status and dynamics of indicators of agricultural enterprises, food industry, trade in foods, restaurant economy and assessment of the factors that influence the development of the food sector. The use of the proposed methodical approach allows to reasonably make decisions on the development of a strategy for the development of food sector enterprises. The conducted studies have shown that in Ukraine as a whole and in its regions in particular in recent years there have been positive tendencies in the production, sale and organization of consumption of food products and services. At this, sales of foods by enterprises of both agriculture and food industry is much higher than by retail enterprises of food products and restaurant enterprises, which indicates the sufficient provision with food products to the financially reliable demand of the population of Ukraine. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of methodical instrumentarium for assessing the effectiveness of management of food sector enterprises, which will be adapted to modern conditions for the implementation of specific managerial decisions.

Force Planning

One component of military policy in particular lies at the very crossroads of strategic planning and structural arenas of policy. This is force planning, the interactive, intertemporal art intended to ensure that deficiencies in today’s force structure are being corrected while preparing for a future that may resemble the present or differ from it in unexpected ways. While force planners must think about what the future security environment might look like, what technologies might be available, and how future forces might leverage these emerging technologies to meet the challenges of a future security environment, they must always be cognizant of domestic structural factors. This chapter argues that a force planner must always be guided by a coherent strategic logic. Structural factors can never be eliminated, but a strong strategic rationale can minimize them.

The bioeconomy has been introduced as a potential answer to some of the issues that modern mankind is confronted with: Climate change, industrial restructuring, food security, health, and energy security. In its goal to establish sustainable green growth, the bioeconomy relies heavily on the agriculture and food sector, whereas a special place belongs to organic food. Increasing organic food consumption depends on understanding organic food consumers. Research of their profile, both worldwide and in Serbia, has failed to find their common characteristics. In this paper, results of research with the first application of a logit model in defining domestic organic food consumers are presented. The results showed they were urban, highly educated, and with higher income. The greatest obstacle for increasing their future consumption of organic food was its insufficient availability. The paper provides managerial implications as well.

Subject Outlook for the food and agriculture sectors. Significance Speaking in Astana in June, Kazakhstani President Nursultan Nazarbayev said the country's agricultural sector was expected to benefit from 16 billion dollars in foreign direct investment (FDI) by 2021. This is foreseen in the 'Agribusiness-2020' strategic programme, which was adopted in February 2013. Agriculture and food processing remain key areas of Kazakhstan's economy, the former having traditionally absorbed a large amount of state subsidies. However, their future looks uncertain in light of Kazakhstan's accession to the WTO and its membership in the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU). Impacts Flooding the Kazakhstani market with cheap imports may lead to mass bankruptcies in domestic agri-business and spark social unrest. Corruption remains a serious obstacle to the efficient use of government-allocated funds to support agriculture and food processing. Investor interest in Kazakhstan's agriculture will remain limited because of internal constraints.

The second chapter represents an analysis of agri-food sector indicator of Serbia. The authors were aiming to show how the analysed indicators have an effect on the export of agri-food products. After reading this chapter, readers will be familiar with the structure of agricultural production and the status of natural resources in Serbia. They will understand that the results of overall analysis have a practical significance, as well as that by the rational use of comparative and competitive advantage dynamizes the export of agriculture and food industry of Serbia on foreign market. They will be able to notice the connection between the unfavourable structure of agricultural production and the structure of agricultural areas. Readers will comprehend the impact of number and size of agricultural holdings on the productivity level and the price competitiveness of products. They will perceive types of land in Serbia according to land capability classification and will know about the quality of soil, water, air and forest potential. They will be able to understand a limiting role of age and educational level of human resources in agriculture. Readers will be familiar with the degree of utilization of production capacity in food industry.

The fourth industrial revolution is a prospective innovation path for human life to possibly replace human intelligence and manual labour with artificial intelligence and robotics. The concept of 4IR is being embraced and applied in all sectors of human life. The academics are researching intensely into the revolution, while industry captain braces up to the inevitable and fast implementation in energy, automobile, telecommunication, services, security, medicine, and other industrial sectors. Agriculture and food sector, which is termed Food 4.0, being the highest employer of human resources, is a major sector that is expected to benefit tremendously from the concept and application of 4IR in driving the sector into the new era of development.

Subject. The article examines the conformity of strategic planning tools and measures for agriculture with the current situation in the sector and national food security goals. Objectives. I determine agricultural planning tools, which appear most effective for food issues, referring to foreign countries’ practices. Methods. The study involves methods of expert assessment, generalization and sorting of leading scholars’ proceedings. I conducted the comparative analysis of advanced economies’ data, referring to the statistical database on the official website of the OECD. Results. I performed a scientific overview of strategic planning tools and measures for agriculture, which are widely used by advanced economies. The development of agriculture and food security are viewed as a comprehensive matter. Pursuing the high food independence and the development of the export potential, countries, like Russia, apply a variety of planning tools and measures, such as quotas, direct subsidies, guarantees, State aid, food aid. Using the above mechanisms, advanced economies try to address all aspects of the food security, thus ensuring the equilibrium of food demand and supply in terms of regional consumption rates and further. Conclusions. The use of such mechanisms in Russia may prove even more useful than abroad. If put on scientific grounds and approaches, planning mechanisms for agriculture will become even more result-oriented to address food security issues.
