Digital platforms as a factor in strengthening national food security

Abstract

Ensuring food security is one of the key areas in the management of economic security. Today, Russia's food security is sufficiently strengthened. However, a reasonable question arises about the promising directions of its development. The article explores the possibility of using digital platforms to improve the efficiency of national food security management. It is established that currently many countries of the world are betting on increasing the level of self-sufficiency in food as a fundamental condition for ensuring national food security. At the same time, the importance of criteria such as food quality and compliance of the domestic food market with the requirements of healthy nutrition is rapidly increasing. Using the example of the dairy market, it is shown that the Russian food market is quite stable and is characterized by the predominance of domestic production over imports in resources. There is an increase in exports. At the same time, there are no signs of active import substitution, the growth of domestic consumption lags behind the growth of production. To solve the current problems of food security, it is proposed to implement digital platforms in the agro-industrial complex at the stages of production of agricultural raw materials, its processing, consumption control and implementation of social policy to support the nutrition of socially vulnerable segments of the population. The use of digital platforms is aimed at improving the efficiency of national food security management.
