| Annotation: | Food security of both the country and individual regions is a structural element of the national security system. In accordance with the Doctrine of Food Security, food security is the most important component of socio-economic policy, as well as a necessary condition for the implementation of the strategic national priority improving the quality of life of Russian citizens by guaranteeing high standards of living. The main problems in the field of food security include: lack of seeds and breeding material, unavailability of quality products, low demand of the population for healthy nutrition. When considering the methodological tools for assessing the level of food security, the following features can be highlighted: a large number of methods are focused on conducting an assessment at the national level, which does not allow analyzing the situation at the regional level; there is no single approved methodology for assessing food security of territories, which complicates comparative analysis. This article proposes a methodological approach to assessing food security based on identifying indicators, comparing actual indicators with thresholds, and also on the basis of the standardization method. This approach was tested on the example of the Krasnoyarsk Territory. Given the heterogeneity of the climate and the extent of this region, the authors considered it possible to divide the region into macro-regions and conduct an analysis at the first stage for the identified macro-regions. At the second stage, an attempt was made to consolidate the assessments into a single integrated assessment for the entire region. The analysis, in our opinion, allows us to develop recommendations for the formation of a food security strategy for the territory, as well as to identify risks and threats to ensuring economic security at the regional level. | ||
