The issue of food security is still relevant, especially in the context of a pandemic and an economic crisis. However, along with the physical and economic availability of food, the issue of food compliance with quality and safety standards has come to the fore. The transition of many countries to the production of genetically modified products affects the health of the population and the future generation. Therefore, the main direction of agricultural policy should be to support organic producers.

The implementation of state programs for the development of agro-industrial and fisheries complexes with the provision of state support to organizations ensured the achievement of the criteria for food security in Russia. At the same time, further growth in production, export development and competitiveness can only be achieved if the existing gaps in various industries are eliminated, provided that the enterprises that make up the industrial core of agricultural and fishing production are developed on a new technical and technological basis. In order to further develop the production of new types of healthy food products, the state must take measures to reduce poverty in order to expand the total demand for food products in the country.

Despite the substantial progress in agro-industrial production development was achieved in the twentieth century, the food problem has not only lost its acuteness, but also turned into a global problem of food safety of mankind. The proper legal regulation of the production of necessary quantity of quality and safe food in the state is a guarantee of food safety of the state. The concept of food safety is legally enshrined in Art. 2 of the Law of Ukraine “On State Support to Agriculture of Ukraine” (dated June 24, 2004) as the protection of human life interests, which is expressed in guaranteeing by the state of unimpeded economic access of a person to food products in order to maintain his/her normal life activities. This normative definition of food safety has become the subject to substantiated criticism in legal literature, since it reflects only one aspect of Ukraine’s food safety – the economic availability of food for the population. The food safety has a number of distinctive features, which determine its role in guaranteeing the national safety of the state. Firstly, the food safety has internal and external aspects. The internal aspect of food safety lies in the functioning of effective mechanisms in the state for guaranteeing human being the access to food products in the quantity and range, sufficient to ensure his/her livelihoods (quantitative measurement), as well as ensuring the proper quality and safety of such products (qualitative measurement). The agricultural legislation of Ukraine provides only a few legal mechanisms to ensure quality measuring of food safety. At the same time, the ensuring the quantitative measurement of Ukraine’s food safety is extremely negative due to difficult economic situation in Ukraine. Legally established minimum wages, scholarships, pensions are not enough to provide a full-fledged human nutrition. The external aspect of food safety is self-sustaining by the state of its food needs in order to reduce the dependence of its economy on food imports. Secondly, ensuring food safety is an essential condition for the realization of one of the basic human rights – the right to adequate food, which is part of the right to a sufficient standard of living. Thirdly, food safety, in particular its qualitative criterion, is an integral part of the internal environmental safety of citizens, because the use of poor quality and dangerous food products significantly affects human health, can provoke diseases and cause fatalities as a result of food poisoning. Fourthly, guaranteeing the food safety of the state is a strategic goal of the state agrarian policy. Given the importance of food to ensure human existence, food safety can be considered as a kind of system of economic and social relations, which is the biosocial basis for the existence of both society and the human individual. In economically developed countries issues of food safety have been subject to considerable legislative regulation. In Ukraine the level of legal regulation of food safety is unsatisfactory. In national agrarian and environmental legislation only quality criteria of food safety are legally defined. Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine “Some Issues of Food Safety” (dated December 5, 2007, No. 1379) approved the Methodology for Determining the Main Indicators of Food Safety. These indicators have been criticized in special literature because they do not take into account issues of quality and safety of food products, peculiarities of development of the agro-food sector as a system-forming for the whole system of food safety. In Ukrainian legal science the necessity of adopting of a special law “On Food Security” or “On Food Security of the State” was substantiated. But the attempt to adopt a special law, aimed at ensuring the state food safety, was unsuccessful. In 2012 the draft law “On Food Safety” was returned by the President of Ukraine to the Parliament with substantive remarks and rejected by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. By this time relations in the field of food safety remain without proper legislative regulation. Currently, the issue of adopting of a special law of Ukraine, aimed at the comprehensive regulation of relations in the field of food safety, is still relevant.

Russia's financial requirements in respect to foreign countries have considerably lowered during recent years without noticeable return for the country's budget. Different assessments of the value of foreign financial assets are considered in the article and main reasons that have led to their lowering are revealed. The state policy in the field is critically analyzed, alternative variants of increasing the effectiveness of foreign financial assets realization are offered.


Objective. The purpose of the article is to compare the levels and mechanisms of food security management in Ukraine and Poland, to identify the main factors influencing the processes of its formation and to determine the directions of increasing the level of Ukraine food security. Methods. The scientific results of the study were obtained using the following methods: theoretical generalization and comparison (for the study of meaningful aspects of the definition of «food security»), analysis and synthesis (for comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels), abstract-logical method (for establishing the links between the level of economic development of countries and the levels of their food security and determining the directions of increasing the Ukraine level of food security). Results. On the basis of a comparative analysis of Ukraine and Poland food security levels, a significant gap in Ukraine’s provision of food security has been identified. Thus, with respect to all food security components identified by FAO, except for the «use» of sanitary and safe drinking water, Poland has reached far ahead of Ukraine. It has been found that for the period 2012–2018, the value of the Global Food Security Index for Ukraine decreased by 2.1 due to a decrease in the level of affordability and availability of food, while the Polish side increased its position on GFSI by 2.8 due to the increase in affordability and availability of food in the country. It has been found that the decisive influence on the level of food security in Poland, as well as high ranking in the ranking is carried out by the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), the implementation of the Polish Rural Development Program and significant public spending on agriculture. It has been determined that the main directions for improving the level of food security of Ukraine should be: lifting the moratorium on the sale of agricultural land; financing the agri-food sector not only through public spending but also through EU programs; creation and implementation of the National Rural Development Program; full and unconditional implementation of Government programs on EU integration; adaptation to the EU Common Agricultural Policy standards.

Beginning in the early 1970s, Jewish and Muslim feminists, tackled “oral law”—Mishna and Talmud, in Judaism, and the parallel Hadith and Fiqh in Islam, and several analogous methodologies were devised. A parallel case study of maintenance and rebellion of wives —mezonoteha, moredet al ba?ala; nafaqa al-mar?a and nush?z—in classical Jewish and Islamic oral law demonstrates similarities in content and discourse. Differences between the two, however, were found in the application of oral law to daily life, as reflected in “responsa”—piskei halacha and fatwas. In modern times, as the state became more involved in regulating maintenance and disobedience, and Jewish law was backed for the first time in history by a state, state policy and implementation were influenced by the political system and socioeconomic circumstances of the country. Despite their similar origin in oral law, maintenance and rebellion have divergent relevance to modern Jews and Muslims.
