Legal Aspects of Ensuring Food Security in the Context of National and Economic Security of the State

Abstract

The article notes the importance and relevance of the issue of food security in the context of national and economic security of the Russian Federation, examines its essence and legal basis. The author examines the provisions of the National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation, the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation, the Action Plan for the implementation of the provisions of the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation and comes to the conclusion about the inconsistency of these regulations due to the inconsistency of the threats listed in them with modern realities. The study notes that in the field of ensuring food security, priority should be given to domestic production, and not to the import of food. The author has put forward specific proposals containing legal ideas that can adjust the system of ensuring food security in the Russian Federation in the context of national and economic security of our state. In addition, the author of the article puts forward her proposal de lege ferenda on the adoption of the Federal Law "On Northern Carriage", which should indicate the priority of delivery to the relevant territories of socially significant food products of proper quality and in due time. At the same time, the author proposes to reduce the barriers to the admission of domestic products to the shelves of chain supermarkets and rationally reduce them, maintaining a balance between the interests of the state and retailers, subject to the principles of fair competition, but taking into account the priority of full-fledged turnover of Russian food products in the current geopolitical and economic realities.
