Threats to food security in the Russian Federation under a new wave of sanctions tensions

The results of the study of threats to Russia's food security amidst a new round of sanctions are presented. Recommendations for the development and application of promising tools to counter these sanctions are proposed. The impact of sanctions on food security is analyzed; the changes associated with the new round of sanctions (from 2022 to early 2023) are critically assessed. Russia's food security is under threat of anti-Russian sanctions, which lead to an increase in the cost of purchasing and transporting food, as well as due to problems in agriculture and insufficiently developed infrastructure, etc. Digitalization and the development of production capacities are key factors in ensuring Russia's food security. There is a need to actively introduce digital technology in the industry, control the quality and availability of food, as well as use loop mechanisms to increase production and reduce dependence on imports. The importance of developing targeted programs and removing administrative barriers to the import of equipment and technology that have no local analogues is illustrated.FUNDING.The article was prepared within the framework of the state task of the Institute of Market Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences; the topic of research is "Institutional transformation of economic security in solving socio-economic problems of sustainable development of the national economy of Russia".
