Threats To Food Security And Ways To Minimize Them
Abstract
Providing the population with all necessary food products in the required quantity is one of the main tasks of the state. In the context of the increased sanction pressure on Russia on the part of the Western countries, the problems of providing the country's population with all necessary foodstuffs and reducing food dependence on imports are of particular importance. Threats to food security are aggravated by the significant differentiation of regions, both in terms of income and living standards and climatic conditions. Some regions of the country are practically unsuitable for farming, while, for example, the regions of the Southern and North Caucasus Federal Districts bear the burden of providing fruit and vegetables to all other regions. Declining real incomes of the population and differentiation of the population by an income level threaten to increase social tensions. Among the main problems in the social sphere, we may note: decline in the level of real incomes, increase in the level of poverty, large concentration of incomes in the hands of a small share of the population, etc. This is due to the high level of inflation, which reached almost 12 per cent in 2022. The solution of these problems requires a longer period of time and substantial support from the state, while sanctions pressure and reduction of imported products may give an additional impetus to the development of domestic production.
