Donetsk, Donetsk People's Republic
Donetsk, Russian Federation
The main indicators of food security are initially formed at the regional level while being oriented on the macroeconomy. The new subjects of the Russian Federation have to develop under a constant military threat. This situation makes it important for the state to monitor their self-sufficiency in food products, which must be physically and economically available to the population. The authors assessed the current and prospective sustainability and availability of food in the Donetsk People’s Republic. The structure and elements of food security and food supply were analyzed in line with the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation. The article described the level of self- sufficiency in basic food products, the level of agricultural supply, and the level of processing relative to the consumption standards. The economic accessibility of food products was subjected to the comparative method based onthe minimal income level and the cost of living by the minimum consumption standards for each category of population. The cost of the consumer goods basket in 2015-2023 was analyzed demographically. The study proved that food security can be achieved by raising people’s income. Based on an expert survey and brainstorming, the authors developed a response matrix to potential risks and their consequences regarding the state administration of food security.
