The article assesses the food security of municipalities in the Volgograd region based on indicators of self-sufficiency in agricultural products. It was proposed to adapt the methodology for calculating self-sufficiency indicators, replacing indicators of consumption of basic products in municipalities that are not publicly available with indicators of necessary production volumes in accordance with rational norms. This makes it possible to better assess the extent to which municipalities are able to provide the population with basic food supplies, as well as to identify bottlenecks in order to develop proposals to address them. The highest self-sufficiency ratios for the main types of products was noted in the municipalities of the North-Western agricultural region with most favourable conditions for agricultural activities and, conversely, the lowest figures are typical for agricultural Zavolzhsky area – with the less favourable agricultural conditions.

In the context of increasing demand for food with limited agricultural resources, there is a widespread search for additional sources of biologically full-fledged local food. This also applies to the northern and Arctic territories. The purpose of the article is to consider the features of ensuring food security of the population of the northern and Arctic territories. The subject of the study is the process of food security management. The research methods used were analytical, historical, statistical, logical, and comparative. The research hypothesis. Regulation of the production of local agricultural products, the creation of enterprises for its processing, storage and sale of food, the formation of rear food bases in adjacent, favorable agricultural zones, the delivery of food from other regions of the country will eliminate the dependence of the population of the northern and Arctic territories on imported food, reduce losses and improve its quality. Summary of the main material. The content of food security is considered. Its main elements, including food independence, physical and economic accessibility of food for all social groups of the population, and food safety for consumers, are established. The current state of food independence is characterized. The northern and Arctic specifics of ensuring food security are revealed. The analysis of self-sufficiency of the population of the North and the Arctic with agricultural products is given. The risks and threats to food security have been identified. Measures to overcome them are considered. Practical value. The recommendations and suggestions can be used in the development and adjustment of State programs for the development of the agri-food sector and rural areas by the subjects of the Northern and Arctic zones, as well as in the further research work of the author.

The article reveals the northern and Arctic specifics of food security, including unfavorable conditions for agriculture, low provision of biological resources, a decrease in the level of self-sufficiency of the population in agricultural products, and a high dependence of food on imports. The author considers risks and threats to food security and measures to overcome them. The main directions of ensuring food security related to the availability of domestic and imported food products, improving the quality of life, and reducing the poverty of citizens are proposed.

The Impact

The paper evaluates the level of competition on the vegetable market. Based on the analysis of the production development trends and resource potential, dynamics and ratio of export and import of agricultural products, including vegetables are presented; dynamics of self-sufficiency ratio of these products is studied; challenges of food security and competitive advantages of Georgian vegetables are identified.The article concludes that the country has a significant potential for exporting vegetables both to the countries of Europe and Middle East. The paper discusses the factors that hinder export of vegetables; in addition, the ways for reducing dependency on seasonality, opportunities for the development of modern greenhouses and mechanisms for supplying goods to customers all year round are suggested.On the basis of analyzing the level of competition on the vegetable market, vegetable business is considered as monopolistic. In addition, it is calculated that, currently, local vegetables products account for only 75% of the market.The paper evaluates the outcomes of high market power caused by monopoly in vegetable business; the impact of market power on pricing mechanism and the welfare of population is determined. In accordance with the problems identified, conclusions are made and recommendations for solving these problems are suggested.

Food security of a region is not only a relatively new direction of scientific research, but also a state policy in the framework of ensuring national security. The aim of the study is to develop a food security rating of the Russian Federation regions and to determine the place of the Udmurt Republic in it. Rosstat was the source of statistical information for the study. A linear panel data model was used to construct a food security rating of the regions. When compiling the rating of food security of the regions, statistical data were used on the indicator of food independence for the period from 2010 to 2019, reflecting the current level of self-sufficiency of the territories of the Russian Federation with agricultural products. In carrying out the study, the annual rating of food security of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation was identified, the regions leaders and outsiders were identified, and a proposal was made to improve the approach to compiling the rating. The constructed food security rating of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is relevant for the federal level to identify problem regions, optimize food flows and adjust federal and regional support programs aimed at financing producers of agricultural products.

Access To Food

The goal is to consider the issues of ensuring food security of the Republic of Kazakhstan and ways of solution. Food policy is the basis of national security and an important direction for the development of agricultural sector of the economy, the essence of which is to increase the level of economic growth, which makes it possible to maximally satisfy the urgent needs of the population and have sufficient public reserves, active payments and trade balances. Objectives – to show the need to increase the competitive advantages of food products on domestic market, as well as to create a domestic brand of goods. Results – The profound impact of COVID-2019 on food systems has been analyzed, which for a variety of reasons has threatened people's access to food worldwide. It was revealed that in the conditions of the Eurasian Economic Union, the development of interstate integration, implementation of a single food issue and measures to ensure food security, important aspect is maintaining the balance of interests of the common market for agricultural products and protecting the sovereignty of the EAEU member States. The article analyzes production of the main types of agricultural products in Kazakhstan (1990-2020), the level of self-sufficiency in the country in meat, milk, eggs, potatoes, vegetables and melons, etc. The dynamics of changes in livestock population, as well as the growth of production of meat in the republic and the world, food consumption per capita is presented. The authors provide data in terms of comparison of agricultural output in the EAEU countries. The volumes of export of Kazakhstani grain and flour are indicated. In the final part of the article, perspective directions of ensuring food stability in the Republic of Kazakhstan are considered. Conclusions – to ensure the country's food independence, it is necessary to pursue a policy of import substitution, use preferential micro-lending, and develop foreign trade activities from narrowly oriented exports to diversification of goods.
