COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION OF FOOD SECURITY
Abstract
This article presents an interpretation of «food security»» as a concept and addresses lines of debate on this matter. It focuses on the characteristics of the two systems of indicators (international and Russian), used for the monitoring food security and food independence of the country. The paper also explains the logic behind the emphasis in performance characteristics on those systems that are most relevant in connection with the tasks (or defined goals), respectively, by international organizations or within the framework of national programs.
Although the author speaks favorably about the system of statistical indicators for monitoring food security, developed by Rosstat, she, at the same time, draws attention to the possible risks related to the reduction of food sovereignty arising from a significant share of imports in the composition of the material costs on the production of agricultural products. Therefore, to realistically assess food sovereignty, one should take into consideration the share of imports in the structure of costs on production of major crops as well.
