The main mechanisms for ensuring national food security

Anatoly I. Altukhov

FSBSI “Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas – All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics”, Moscow, Russia

Abstract. When ensuring national food security, it is necessary to proceed from the essence of this economic category in relation to the state, and not to its individual regions. It is the State that should be entrusted with the responsibility for its reliable provision, regardless of the influence of internal and external threats and challenges. Its role in the development of the entire food supply system of the country’s population is especially increasing in modern conditions of increasing sanctions pressure on it and conducting a special military operation in Ukraine. At the same time, the responsibility of the State for mobilizing domestic resources to achieve national interests in the field of food security is also increasing. At the same time, a successful solution to the problem of reliable provision of national food security is possible only on the basis of the paradigm of scientific and technological development of the agricultural sector of the economy, as well as the use of a system of effective mechanisms providing at the same time an optimal combination of market self-regulation and state impact on the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of food products and agricultural raw materials, as well as increasing the predictability of ensuring national food security and achieving its goals. According to different relations of interaction of mechanisms of production, logistics and consumption of food by the population, different models of ensuring national food security are mainly formed. In the conditions of sanctions pressure, it is important to implement the provisions stated in the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, for which it is necessary to adjust the existing mechanisms for its provision in relation to modern realities. It is necessary to adopt a system of effective organizational and economic measures that contribute to the consolidation of the efforts of government, science and the business community for the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex, increasing the competitiveness of its products in the domestic and foreign agri-food markets.

Keywords: Russia, national food security, mechanisms, food, population, agriculture, interaction, food security model, trade, sanctions, external and internal threats and challenges

Strategic directions for strengthening the food security of the BRICS countries at the present stage

Nadezhda A. Shelamova

Federal Scientific Center for Agrarian Economics and Social Development of Rural Territories – VNIIESH, Moscow, Russia

Abstract. The article considers the problem of ensuring food security within the framework of the BRICS bloc. The countries included in this association have been demonstrating significant economic growth and strengthening their positions in the international arena over the past few years. The BRICS member states have great resource potential (land, water, labor resources) for the development of agriculture and are, for the most part, the world’s largest producers and exporters of agricultural and food products. In 2022, the export of agro-food products of the BRICS countries exceeded 15% of the world level. Issues of ensuring food security at the regional and national level have been constantly on the agenda of regularly held summits and have been reflected in a number of documents developed, among them the «BRICS Economic Partnership Strategy until 2025» and the «Action Plan for 2021-2024 on Agricultural cooperation of the BRICS countries». In order to implement joint actions to ensure the sustainable development of the member States on the basis of modern scientific and technological achievements, the BRICS Agricultural Research Platform was developed and put into operation.

Keywords: food security, BRICS countries, GDP dynamics, agricultural exports, directions for strengthening food security

Development of the concept of sustainable development of breeding and seed production in the region

Arkady V. Moiseev

Kuban State Agrarian University named after I.T. Trubilin, Krasnodar, Russia

Abstract. The author of the article, using the example of the Krasnodar Territory, substantiates that one of the priorities of the effective functioning of the agro-industrial complex is the development of breeding and seed production in the region based on the use of a digitalization tool. Since the existing scientific equipment of the breeding and seed-growing complex in the Krasnodar Territory seriously lags behind modern requirements, the outdated breeding and seed-growing base does not allow obtaining high-quality seeds of higher reproductions, it is necessary to introduce digitalization as a tool for the sustainable development of breeding and seed production in the region. The article substantiates the main provisions of the proposed concept, focuses on the priority budget financing of the breeding and seed production complex, the development of the economic foundations of zonal seed production, as well as on the systematic state planning of the entire system of breeding and seed production.

Keywords: digitalization, breeding and seed production system, state regulation, human resources potential of the breeding and seed production complex, Krasnodar Territory

Abstract. A special military operation in Ukraine, harsh economic sanctions against Russia by unfriendly countries have led to a new situation in the functioning of economic actors. In these conditions, the issues of achieving their competitiveness, cardinal modernization of the industry, increasing labor productivity, motivation, resource saving and a significant increase in food exports to world and local markets are put forward to the fore, which is not possible without an effective organization of anti-corruption control. In this aspect, there is a successful practice of the actors of the Republic of Tatarstan on the rational use of available means of production, finance and human capital with the use of anti-corruption control. Over the past decades, these measures have significantly increased labor productivity in the region, halved energy consumption with a significant increase in production. A significant contribution to these results was made by the introduction of the lean production system – 5S, which made it possible to significantly reduce the number of employees, reduce the cost of production, and increase the profitability of the region’s actors.

Keywords: economic actors, resource saving, lean manufacturing, anti-corruption, anti-corruption control, personnel, modern technologies, labor productivity, motivation, cost, profitability, 5S system

1,2,3Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Federal Research Center of Agrarian Economy and Social Development of Rural Areas – All-Russian Research Institute of Agricultural Economics”, Moscow, Russia

Abstract. The article is devoted to the problems of formation of investment attractiveness in the context of minimizing investment risks in agriculture in Russia. The authors consider the basic concepts of risk theory, including in agriculture. The researchers proposed methodological approaches to the assessment of investment risks, including the identification of risks, their classification and grouping, calculation and assessment of risks. The assessment of investment risks was carried out by calculating the complex integral indicator determined on the basis of financial, economic and social risks, based on the operation of maximization and double rationing. Based on the approbation of methodological approaches to the assessment of investment risks in agriculture in the context of the regions of the Russian Federation, the authors conducted the ranking and grouping of regions and identified a group of regions with minimal investment risks and extremely high risks. In order to minimize investment risks, the article formulates proposals for improving measures of state regulation and investment policy at the federal and regional levels.

Keywords: investments, investment risks, investment attractiveness, agriculture, regions of the Russian Federation, risk assessment, integral indicator, minimization of investment risks

Abstract. Trends in the decline in living standards in Russian regions indicate that the state and municipal authorities need to pay increased attention to the development of socio-economic systems, including agri-food. This is especially true for the Far Eastern regions, which are characterized by extreme soil and climatic conditions for agricultural production, undeveloped transport infrastructure, unfavorable demographic situation and significant remoteness from the main logistics centers of the country, which significantly limits the possibilities of food self-sufficiency. The regions of the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) are markedly differentiated by the level of per capita food production and consumption. The agro-food system needs targeted state regulation, while the development of measures should be carried out on the basis of a differentiated approach to the development of different types of regions. In continuation of the previously conducted research, this article supplements the proven method of typologizing regions by considering other essential features to identify problems and determine the prospects for the development of the agro-food sector. Thus, the following features have been introduced: parameters of resource, infrastructure and financial potentials; sectoral specialization of regions according to the level of development of the agro-food system. In further studies, it is supposed to test the already supplemented methodology for typologizing regions according to the level of development of the agro-food system in the Far Eastern Federal District.

Keywords: agri-food system, development, region, typologization, differentiation, Far Eastern Federal District, population, agriculture, food, production, consumption, state regulation

Abstract. The current spatial transformation has led to negative changes in the current conditions of life support of the population, namely, to a decrease in the infrastructure provision of non-urbanized territories. To solve this problem, it is necessary to make an assessment that allows to identify the level of infrastructure development in territories with different degrees of spatial organization. As a result, 4 types of non-urbanized territories were identified: with a high level of infrastructure development and a moderate degree of spatial organization (10 regions); with the highest level of infrastructure development and a significant degree of spatial organization (11 regions); with a satisfactory level of infrastructure development and a low degree of spatial organization (31 regions); with a critical level of infrastructure development and a degree of spatial organization (30 regions). For each type, measures are justified aimed at providing the population with socially significant objects to meet their service needs.

Abstract. The use of artificial intelligence systems makes it possible to increase the accuracy of forecasting crop yields in comparison with traditional methods. The purpose of the study is to analyze research in the field of the use of artificial intelligence systems in predicting crop yields. Currently, artificial intelligence systems have been developed and tested to predict the yield of rice, wheat, lettuce, coffee and other agricultural crops. To do this, systems based on neural networks, genetic algorithms, the support vector machine and others are used. The effects of the use of artificial intelligence systems in predicting crop yields are revealed. They consist in improving the quality of the planning process of consumed resources, optimizing acreage, improving the accuracy of forecasting product prices in comparison with traditional methods. Specific recommendations are given on the use of artificial intelligence systems in optimizing grain production under the given constraints.
