One of the main problems of today is to ensure food security of the country and its regions. The level of food security has fluctuations and changes over time, so this situation emphasizes the increasing relevance and stability. Investigating its level in the region, it is advisable to study the features of its dependence on internal factors: the current state of food supply in the region in sufficient quantity, quality and range, the real ability of the population to consume a rational norm of food of proper quality. An important component of the characteristics of food security in the region, in accordance with regulations, are scientifically sound safety indicators. The formation of food security of the country and regions is a holistic complex, which is associated with the macroeconomic development of the state. Food security strategy - functional, involves the development of economic characteristics of the control system and their main criteria, which allow for rapid assessment of regional food security and effective decisions on changes in the parameters of the developed strategy. Based on the dynamics of characteristics, extrapolation (forecast levels) are developed for trends and patterns of development and the parameters of the strategy that affect the change of development trends and fluctuations are adjusted. To comprehensively assess the state of food security in Poltava region, the main indicators were studied: providing the diet with the main types of products, economic affordability of food, the capacity of the domestic market of certain foods and food independence of certain foods. The implementation of these measures should be the basis for the formation of a differentiated system of sustainable food supply of the regions. The criterion of completeness of food supply of the region is the degree of its self-sufficiency, and the criterion of sustainability of food supply is the stability of demand and demand for the main types of products due to local production, import and use of reserve funds. The main conditions for the proper functioning of the food market and providing the population with high quality food are targeted and rational use of available and potential natural, industrial, demographic, social, scientific, technical and investment resources that contribute to the full functioning and development of food security through local production. in accordance with scientifically sound standards.

The sustainability of food security is a global concern, and one of the priorities related to it is the ability to identify effective efforts that can protect food security along the food supply chain (FSC). The present study demystifies the relation of sustainability and food security and structurally identifies the sustainable drivers, and the pragmatic interventions that can critically contribute to the sustainability of food security within each stage of the FSC. A systematic review of articles from six databases was implemented. Thematic analysis was engaged to detect the sustainable drivers and interventions practised at each stage in the FSC for food security purposes. Six main themes of the drivers and interventions were derived from the analysis: food security governance involvement, input resource management, output management, information sharing, income, and technology. The result identifies the potential that quality management has on the mediating effect towards sustainable food security, through which a conceptual model for sustainable food security in the FSC was thus developed. It is deduced that mapping and categorizing the drivers and intervention of sustainable food securities could help deepen the understanding of effective and innovative practices towards food security in the FSC.

The article develops theoretical and methodological foundations for the formation of the concept of food security management of the state in terms of investment and innovation development of the agricultural sector. It is determined that the essence of food security is the economic state of the country, in which, regardless of market conditions, the population can be guaranteed and stably provided with food resources, have free access to them in sufficient quantities, range and at reasonable prices, with this corresponds to the normatively justified parameters and medical standards. It is established that the concept of economic security of the state involves the effective functioning of all its constituent subsystems, which must ensure efficient and rational use of all relevant resources to eliminate possible external and internal threats, ensure the stability of the national economy and direct protection of state interests. Stimulating the development of agricultural production and reducing the negative impact of its systemic indicators will ensure the stability of food security and food independence by increasing the sustainability of agricultural production and food quality and income, expanding exports and imports, increasing food stocks, improving greening, improving the legal framework, realization of production potential of agriculture. The paper notes that food security is one of the most important indicators of socio-economic development of the country. It is provided primarily by the level of agricultural production, saturation of the market with its own agricultural products, which promotes its independence and meets the main groups of indicators defined in world practice (level of availability and consumption of food, availability and sufficiency of food, quality and safety of food). The development of agricultural sectors depends on the intensification of investment strategies, state support in financing and investing, promoting the competitiveness of agricultural producers in the domestic market and protecting their interests in foreign economic activity, the introduction of credit mechanisms as an option to update the material base, improve the mechanism pricing, completion of land reform and direct control over the quality of production and use of natural resources.

<p><strong>English</strong><br />Inclusion of Indonesia in the ASEAN Single Market can be seen as opportunities and challenges for the national food resiliency. Results of the study shows that Indonesia was sufficient in food availability, moderate in food accessibility, low in food utilization, and relatively unstable in food price. To improve its food resiliency in the region, it is advisable for Indonesia to carry out some strategic steps as follows: (1) improving food self-resiliency, (2) developing local foods, (3) improving market access, and (4) improving cooperation in food security. The needed support policies were: (1) continuing efforts to increase sustainable food production, (2) developing local food industries, (3) promoting local food products, (4) improving infrastructures, logistics system, supply chain, as well as institutions and market information systems, (5) standardization of food quality and safety, (6) establishing collaboration in regional food security, and (7) managing regional food trade to achieve food resiliency.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Indonesian</strong><br />Menjelang diberlakukannya pasar tunggal ASEAN akhir tahun 2015, Indonesia perlu untuk meningkatkan daya tahan perekonomiannya. Salah satu faktor yang menentukan daya tahan perekonomian nasional adalah ketahanan pangan nasional. Masuknya Indonesia di dalam pasar tunggal ASEAN dapat dipandang sebagai peluang sekaligus tantangan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan pangan yang mandiri. Hasil kajian pustaka dan data sekunder menunjukkan bahwa Indonesia mempunyai tingkat ketersediaan pangan yang cukup baik, kondisi akses pangan ekonomi yang sedang, tingkat pemanfaatan pangan yang kurang baik, serta tingkat harga pangan yang tinggi dan kurang stabil dibandingkan dengan negara-negara anggota ASEAN pada umumnya. Agar Indonesia mendapatkan manfaat positif dari masuknya ke dalam pasar tunggal ASEAN, disarankan untuk melaksanakan langkah-langkah strategis sebagai berikut: (1) meningkatkan kemandirian pangan nasional, (2) mengembangkan pangan lokal, (3) meningkatkan akses pasar, dan (4) meningkatkan kerja sama dalam penanganan masalah pangan. Guna melaksanakan langkah-langkah strategis tersebut diperlukan dukungan kebijakan sebagai berikut: (1) melanjutkan upaya peningkatan produksi pangan pokok secara berkelanjutan, (2) mengembangkan industri pangan lokal dari hulu ke hilir, (3) meningkatkan promosi produk pangan lokal di pasar domestik dan pasar internasional, (4) meningkatkan infrastruktur, sistem logistik, rantai pasok, serta meningkatkan kelembagaan dan sistem informasi pasar, (5) menerapkan standardisasi kualitas dan keamanan pangan, (6) meningkatkan kerja sama dalam penanganan masalah pangan di kawasan, dan (7) memanfaatkan perdagangan pangan kawasan untuk penanganan masalah pangan manakala produksi pangan nasional tidak mencukupi kebutuhan dalam negeri.</p>

AbstractIf historians now recognize that the Habsburg Monarchy was developing into a strong, cohesive state in the decades before the First World War, they have yet to fully examine contemporaneous European debates about Austria's legitimacy and place in the future world order. As the intertwined fields of law and social science began during this period to elaborate a binary distinction between “modern” nation-states and “archaic” multinational “empires,” Austria, like other composite monarchies, found itself searching for a legally and scientifically valid justification for its continued existence. This article argues that Austrian sociology provided such a justification and was used to articulate a defense of the Habsburg Monarchy and other supposedly “abnormal” multinational states. While the birth of the social sciences is typically associated with Germany and France, a turn to sociology also occurred in the late Habsburg Monarchy, spurred by legal scholars who feared that the increasingly hegemonic idea of nation-based sovereignty threatened the stability of the pluralistic Austrian state. Proponents of the “sociological idea of the state,” notably the sociologist, politician, and later president of Czechoslovakia Tomáš Masaryk and the Polish-Jewish sociologist and jurist Ludwig Gumplowicz, challenged the concept of statehood advanced by mainstream Western European legal philosophy and called for a reform of Austria's law and political science curriculum. I reveal how, more than a century before the “imperial turn,” Habsburg actors came to reject the emerging scholarly distinction between “nations” and “empires” and fought, with considerable success, to institutionalize an alternative to nationalist social scientific discourse.

The Impact

With the global health crisis related to the new coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19), the thorny issue of food security has arisen with force, especially with shortages of certain products on the markets, soaring prices, and sometimes even stock-outs. The covid-19 pandemic has led to a global economic crisis that has called into question the stability ensuring global food security. So, the present paper aims to analyze and discuss the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on agriculture, food supply, and food security in Morocco. Toward this end, data provided by the Food Agriculture Organization (FAO), and the World Health Organization (WHO) have been analyzed, as well as studies conducted and published on the subject. The findings indicate that the Covid 19 pandemic has ensued several negative effects, which have directly and indirectly threatened Moroccan food security. It severely affected the agricultural sector which contributes significantly to GDP, due to suspension of agricultural activities, restriction of trade in agricultural commodities, and agricultural labor.  Also, It has primarily affected food imports due to the dependence on food importation and has impacted food supply chains, as the shutdown and closing of some stores severely disrupted the supply chain (transportation, storage, and distribution), resulting in food insufficiency in many far areas. Globally, food security in Morocco has demonstrated its resilience during the Covid-19 pandemic, due to the agricultural strategy put in place, the market was regularly supplied and the availability of products was ensured in all the cities of the Kingdom. Finally, based on the findings, we have suggested some recommendations that would help boost sustainable food security.

All countries around the world are dealing the same problem in assuring the sufficiency of food for feeding their people. Indonesia is the biggest agrarian state in South East Asia and the fourth largest state in the world. The challenge faced by Indonesia with a large population is on how food meets the needs of its population, which until now Indonesia has not been able to guarantee the fulfillment of food supply for its population. This study aims to analyze the influence of determinant factors toward Indonesian food security. Binary Logit Model was employed to analyze determinant factors of Indonesian food security. Jonsson and Toole criterion of food security was used to identify Indonesian food security status as dependent variable. This research found that land area, rice production, corn production, soybean production, chicken meat production, beef production, the population density the CPI (Customer Price Index) including the CPI for housing, electricity and gas, the CPI for health, the CPI for transportation and financial services, and FIMI (Food Insecurity Multidimensional Index) have significant influences towards the level of food security in Indonesia. It means that food security could be achieved by not only improving the quantity and quality of consumption, but also improving food supply, the ability to access economically and the stability.

The differentiation by the level and quality of life, the inequality of income distribution in the worlds regions, as well as occurring global problems reveal the need to assess the degree of stability of state food security systems and search for adequate methods for its regulation at the interstate level. The paper studies the indicators that are used to determine the level of food security of countries in general and the stability of development of their agricultural sector, in particular. Studying the dynamics of food security indicators makes it possible to identify a number of factors that impede the achievement of an optimal level of stability of food systems in different regions of the world and to reveal the dependence of the state of food security on countries economy and social development. The ways of improving the system of ensuring food security of countries are proposed, and threats and prospects for the development of the world and domestic food markets in changing geopolitical circumstances are assessed. Modern methodological approaches to assessing food security and methods for its regulation, as well as the state of affairs in ensuring the stability of the development of the food system in Russia in the conditions of a pandemic, are considered.

Food supply for special consumers is the most dynamic subsystem of the system of procurement for power ministries and departments. In modern conditions, its functioning should take into account the peculiarities of the organizational structure of units and the nature of the tasks performed. The aim of the study is to systematize the existing methods for assessing the food security of the region and develop a methodological approach to assessing the food security of special consumers. As a result of the analysis of the existing methods for assessing the level of regional food security, conclusions were drawn about the absence of a single universal methodology for assessing food security, a variety of criteria and assessment indicators, the impossibility of unification, and comparative analysis by territories in accordance with their specificity and zoning. A conceptual diagram of an integrated assessment of the level of food security of special consumers is proposed.

Food and nutrition security has been neglected in the planning field for reasons of a lack of connection between food and planning and the perception that agricultural activities have no place in the modernizing world. However, considering increasing climate change impacts and implications on industrialized agriculture, there is a clear need to establish shorter, more sustainable agricultural production practices and food supply chains. Urban agriculture is proposed as a potential method of intervention for planners to support sustainable food production and supply chains. The paper utilized a multiple-case study design to analyze four best practice examples of urban agriculture in the Global South to uncover its potential to address food security associated risks and contribute to sustainable development objectives. The results delivered evidence of the potential to harness the multifunctionality of urban agriculture to not only improve the food security of the most at-risk populations, but to also address other urban risks such as unemployment, community decline and food deserts. The recommendations for this paper relate to establishing a food security department, mapping and encouraging more sustainable food supply chains, creating land uses and zonings specific to urban agriculture and to utilize its multifunctionality to address other urban risks.
