National security is always directed at ensuring the country's sovereignty, protection of national interests, as well as the provision of sustainable economic development. Food security is a specific dimension of national security. The development of the circumpolar territories in the northern areas of the Asian part of Russia shifts the emphasis of food supply and gives new impetus to the development of agricultural production. In this chapter, the authors argue that the self-sufficiency of northern territories in the Asian part of Russia may be achieved by 2030 by means of development of vegetable production.

Being a member of the EU, today the Czech Republic is not entirely dependent on domestic production of food and farming commodities. Since borders inside the EU are open, particular commodities can flow without any tariff measures. But food self-sufficiency belongs to internal factors of national security and therefore it deserves sufficient attention. The aim of this article is to evaluate, based on an analysis, the self-sufficiency rate of the Czech Republic and Poland in selected commodities of crop production between marketing years 2000/2001–2009/2010, with special attention to the most important and cultivated commodities – basic cereals, oilseeds, corn and potatoes. Based on analyses of self-sufficiency rate it can be concluded, that both countries can be considered as stabilised with restpect to rate of self-sufficency of selected crops – none of the presented groups falls under 80%. For most described commodities the trend of self-sufficiency rate in the Czech Republic and Poland is stabilised or growing. Only production of potatoes is coming close to critical treshhold in CZ, therefore national strategies should be put in place to maintain the self-sufficiency rate above the critical limit. After an analysis of internation trade it can be concluded that the Czech Republic is specialised exporter of not-processed commodities but country significantly falls behind Poland in competitiveness of processing of commodities.

The article deals with definition and national security of Ukraine at the present stage of formation of the state as one of the vectors of the Sustainable Development Strategy. The authors have identified and substantiated new views on the methodology of national security and ways to ensure under the Strategy of Sustainable Development of the country. On the basis of the conducted researches the conclusions concerning definition of national security of Ukraine and ways of its maintenance have been made. According to the authors’ approach, national security has been defined as a dynamic component of the strategic development of the state, the purpose of which is to ensure the security of the state, business and citizens, security of investment and private property, peace and border protection. The main structural elements of security are: institutional security, security of the regulatory subsystem, security of the functional-communicative subsystem and spiritual and ideological security. The interests or goals that need to be achieved on the path of development are considered as a constant value, and the threats are dynamic and change depending on the way of choosing to achieve interests. The basis of Ukraine's national security is the national interest, which is a set of internal and external needs of the state in ensuring the security and progressive development of the individual, society and the state. The bearer of the national interests of the state is the Ukrainian people. National interests are achieved through the execution of public administration in the security process.

This paper was done within the framework of the Monitoring of the SDGs in Africa (SODDA) project which supported the analysis of the food balance sheets drawn up through the letter of agreement between FAO/GS1 and AFRISTAT. Analysis of the self-sufficiency rate over the 2010–2015 period shows that Mali has higher food self-sufficiency than Benin and Guinea. In Guinea, overall, 43.2% of domestic product supplies are on average imports. Plant products are the most dependent on imports with an average annual IDR of 48.2% compared to 12.5% for animal products. In the three countries, plant products are the most dependent on imports. The use of FAO methodologies for calculating the prevalence of undernourishment under SDG 2 and the food loss index under SDG 12 made it possible to estimate these two indicators using BAs and other related indicators. The results in 2015 show that Benin and Guinea with respectively 14.2% and 15.6% of the population with a prevalence of undernourishment are ahead of Mali with 5%. In terms of individuals, estimates give 1.5 million Beninese, 1.2 million Guineans and 0.9 million Malians who were undernourished in 2015.

In the face of increasing threats to the national interests of Russia, the main strategic priority of its food security is the acquisition by the country of full food independence and sustainable competitive positions on the world food market. At the same time, the problem of a reliable estimation of the state of food security becomes important. The effective Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation includes detailed, but unclear and contradictory system of indicators that reflects the country’s priorities in food security only partially. The integrated assessment of food security executed for the period from 2010 to 2018 in accordance with the norms of the effective Doctrine revealed generally positive trends and the achievement of target safety criteria for a number of food products. However, the calculations on the indicators of the new Doctrine draft aimed at country’s self-sufficiency with basic food products and implementing its export potential showed that the criteria of independence for some kind of food are not met, and the export potential is absent, which predetermines the need to change food safety priorities and currently used methods of estimating its condition. The results obtained in the work can be applied in further research of the issues of assessing food safety and developing measures aimed at improving the efficiency of the national economic policy in food security.

The theoretical and methodological basis for the study of food security problems has been substantiated in relation to the goals of sustainable development of the agro-food system. The conceptual positions are the following: multicriterial approach to the estimation of food security; distinction in priorities of food security at the level of national and regional agrifood systems; relation of physical and economic availability of food; orientation on regional particularities in substantiation of directions of agrifood policy. The study reveals the concept of food security in the context of sustainable development of the agro-food system, substantiates the criteria and indicators, proposes methods of assessment. The new risks in the development of the agro-food system associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, which aggravated the existing systemic problems and had a negative impact on the level of food security, were identified. A comparative analysis of the level of food security on the example of the Volga Federal District (PFD) regions of the Russian Federation in terms of self-sufficiency, physical and economic availability of food, the stability of the functioning of regional agro-food systems was carried out. Integral indicators of food security and sustainable development of agro-food systems were calculated. This allowed us to carry out the typology of the subjects of the Volga Federal District according to these indicators. The measures contributing to the transition of the agro-food system to the model of sustainable development, the solution of social problems, including the overcoming of negative trends in the post-pandemic economy are formulated.

Težnja zmanjševanja vojaških izdatkov je značilna tudi za sodobno Slovenijo, čeprav se razsežnost in spekter groženj, ki nam grozijo, nista zmanjšala. Ravno nasprotno. Spremenile so se zgolj oblike teh groženj in pojavile nove, tako imenovane sodobne grožnje. Zmanjševanje vojaških izdatkov prinaša manjšo varnost državljanov in okrnjen nacionalni steber obrambe, kar se je pokazalo ob zadnji grožnji nacionalni varnosti, ob tako imenovani migrantski krizi, ko je na nepripravljenost Slovenske vojske in nizko stopnjo nacionalne varnosti opozoril celo vrhovni poveljnik obrambnih sil, predsednik države Borut Pahor. Poleg slabljenja domačega obrambnega sistema se je v zadnjih letih za nekatere grožnje nacionalni varnosti kot zelo šibka pokazala tudi pomoč evropskih institucij in Nata, zato je samozadostnost v nacionalnem varnostnem sistemu toliko bolj pomembna. The tendency to reduce military expenditure is characteristic of the modern Slovenia as well, although the dimensions and the array of threats we face have not been reduced. Quite the opposite - they have merely changed their form and were joined by new, the so-called modern threats. The reduction of military expenditure contributes to the weaker security of the citizens and a stunted defence pillar, which proved to be the case in the recent threat to the national security, namely the migrant crisis. During that period, even the Commander-in-Chief, President Borut Pahor drew attention to the lack of readiness of the Slovenian Armed Forces and the low level of national security. In addition to the deteriorating Slovenian defence system, EU institutions and NATO have in the recent years also provided poor assistance with regard to certain threats to national security, which makes the self-sufficiency in the national security system all the more important.
