ENSURING FOOD SECURITY AS A FACTOR OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

PMYMYC

Abstract

The development strategy of Russia for the near future is set out in a number of doctrinal documents and includes various aspects of society. At the same time, almost all of them reflect tasks aimed at forming the country’s human and intellectual capital. One of the mandatory components of the designated capital is nutrition, as the main contribution to the formation of human health. This determines the importance of issues related to ensuring food security and food independence when addressing the problem of internal and external threats to national security. However, as the authors of many scientific articles argue, the concept of “security” has a socio-philosophical aspect, in which the emphasis is placed taking into account the stage of development of society, the current political and socio-economic situation, etc. In this regard, it is of interest to consider the term “safety” as a component of the term “food security” in many of its manifestations in the conditions of innovative development of the agro-industrial complex in relation to the “Science and education - production - market” system. The analysis and systematization of the definitions of “safety” showed the breadth and depth of the issue of ensuring food security, the advisability of joint participation in resolving this issue by scientists and production workers with the involvement of food consumers. A systematic approach to solving the problem creates the need to train a new generation of personnel who have a set of knowledge and skills in the field of ensuring food safety at all stages: design, production, sales, consumption.
