Mechanism for ensuring food security under globalization

Abstract

Problem statement. Global and regional integration processes worldwide, growing economic problems in most countries are becoming the objective prerequisites for reviewing the state of national security as a whole and its component–food security in particular. New economic conditions, geopolitical dynamics require fundamentally different approaches to food security. Under globalization the problem of food security demands a qualitatively new solution with regard to revealing the nature of this economic category, research methodology and mechanisms for solution. The issue of food security also concerns the national economy. Ukraine's integration into the world and European Community makes it vital, since only under the conditions of guaranteed food supply the state can pursue an independent policy. Literature review. Among the works of national researchers who dealt with multiple-aspect problems of food security, it is necessary to emphasize the monumental studies by OH Bilorus et al.(2009), VI Vlasov (2001), which contain information on generalized regularities of food production development under the conditions of globalization. The monographs by OI Hoychuk (2004) and OS Reznikova (2011) are dedicated to the improvement of food security system based on the efficient operation of the national agrifood sector. The publications by PT Sabluk et al.(2011), BI Paskhaver (2014), OV Skydan (2010) are also of strategic importance
