Current state of food security in the Russian Federation and ways to improve it
The article draws attention to the great dependence on the standard of living of the population on the availability of food and its diversity. The paper shows the evolution of the institutional models used in Russia to provide food to the population of the Russian Federation. The current state of production is shown based on the analysis of statistical data, import and export of basic agricultural products that ensure the country's food security. The country's level of security with other food products, taking into account exports, looks like this: potatoes-95.8%, vegetables and food melons -86%, meat and meat products - 95%, milk and dairy products - 83.8%, eggs and egg products-98.9%. Food security for all the listed types of agricultural products is provided with the exception of milk and dairy products. That is, the level of availability of domestic products is higher than 85%, with the exception of milk and dairy products. And for them, the deviation is not significant. It is desirable that the level of food security for all types of agricultural products is the same as for grain. To do this, we need to develop agriculture in the Russian Federation. The calculation of the levels of food security of the Russian Federation for certain types of agricultural products is carried out. The classification of the main directions of increasing the volume of agricultural production in Russia is proposed.
