Abstract
Ensuring food security is one of the dynamically developing areas of scientific and applied research. Its relevance is due to the recently aggravated problems in the supply of food to the population, which are closely related to issues of economic and national security. In the conditions of our country, the solution of the problems of ensuring food security is complicated by the remaining significant differences in the level and pace of economic development of the Russian regions. The purpose of the article is to systematize scientific ideas about the role and place of food security in the processes of sustainable development. The article discusses the essence and key components of the concept of food security in its connection with the maintenance of sustainable development processes, formulates a universal methodological approach that can become the basis for a quantitative assessment of the level of such security. In particular, an integral indicator of food security is proposed, which includes a number of private criteria that quantitatively and qualitatively characterize various aspects of food security. Based on a brief analysis of the key parameter of food security - the economic availability of food, supplemented by other parameters, the author comes to the conclusion that ensuring sustainable food security in our country should become an integral part of socio-economic development plans at all levels of government.
