The Problem of Periodization of International Legal Regulation of Food Security

Abstract

The paper attempts to analyze scientific approaches to the periodization of international legal regulation of food security and to develop principles of normative regulation of food security at the present stage. The analysis of scientific approaches showed that the presented periodization requires updating taking into account modern geopolitical and legal realities. Attention is drawn to the fact that the period of regulation from 2008 to the present has not yet become the object of special study in the works of international lawyers. The author, taking into account the analysis carried out, proposes to identify two new stages of international legal regulation of food security: the period of implementation of the Agenda for Sustainable Development and the current stage, which began in 2020. The paper formulates the principles on which, in the author’s opinion, the development of international legal regulation of food security in modern conditions should be based.
