Solutions for Food Security in Times of Economic Crisis

Анотація

Introduction. The global food system is at a turning point, facing numerous challenges that require a transformative approach. In the context of a growing global population, intensifying climate changes, resource shortages, and shifting dietary preferences, fundamental changes in the ways food is produced, distributed, and consumed are necessary. Food is the most essential life resource, as the quality of life can be objectively assessed by the population's access to it. Methodology. The justification of theoretical-methodological provisions and applied foundations for forming food security was carried out based on the principles of a systemic approach, using general scientific and specialized methods for studying economic processes. The comparative analysis method was applied to compare quantitative and qualitative indicators of food supply development, and the synergetic method was used to characterize the influence of organizational and economic mechanisms on the formation of food security under sustainable development. Results. It has been proven that growing tensions in the global agri-food market and the increasing need for food force every country and groups of countries to search for the most rational ways to meet their internal needs for agricultural products, raw materials, and food. To prevent and mitigate the negative consequences of the global food crisis, measures to ensure food independence and respond to various risks must be taken by all states, regardless of their level of domestic food supply. As a result, the concept of food supply is evolving, along with the organizational and economic mechanism for its realization—from providing food aid to managing individual risks, from international assistance to strengthening state responsibility.
