Abstract

The purpose of this research was to assess the current state of food security in some regions of the Russian Federation, identify bottlenecks hindering its achievement, and try to determine the relationship between food-security indicators and the degree of land degradation (categories that largely determine the social and ecological development of the region). Belgorod, Vladimir, Volgograd, Kaliningrad, Penza, and Samara oblasts were selected as test regions. At the same time, the choice of the self-sufficiency indicator for the main types of food products is justified as being the most representative indicator for assessing food security at the municipal level. The adapted methodology for calculating self-sufficiency for the municipal level used the calculated indicators of the required production volumes in accordance with rational consumption standards, which made it possible to objectively assess the potential of municipal formations for providing the residential population with basic types of products. The adapted methodology proposed by the authors for calculating the indices of self-sufficiency in basic food types at the municipal level has been described in detail in earlier publications. The results of analysis of the data on self-sufficiency in types of products, such as potatoes, vegetables, meat, milk, and fruits and berries, in the municipal districts of the test regions are presented in dynamics for the period of 2010–2021. In addition, the relationship between the calculated indicators of self-sufficiency in basic food types and the degree of land degradation in the municipalities of the test regions has been revealed. The results of our study have made it possible to identify the main problems related to food security and develop proposals to improve the situation.

俄罗斯联邦粮食安全评估问题

摘要

本研究的目的是评估俄罗斯联邦部分地区的粮食安全现状，找出阻碍其实现的瓶颈，并试图确定粮食安全指标与土地退化程度（在很大程度上决定土地退化程度的类别）之间的关系。该地区的社会和生态发展）。别尔哥罗德州、弗拉基米尔州、伏尔加格勒州、加里宁格勒州、奔萨州和萨马拉州被选为测试地区。同时，主要粮食品种自给率指标的选择也被认为是评估市级粮食安全最具代表性的指标。调整后的市级自给率计算方法使用了根据合理消费标准计算的所需产量指标，从而可以客观评估市级结构为居民提供基本类型产品的潜力。作者提出的用于计算市级基本食品类型自给自足指数的改编方法已在早期出版物中详细描述。2010-2021年试验区市辖区马铃薯、蔬菜、肉类、牛奶、水果和浆果等各类产品自给率数据分析结果动态呈现。此外，计算出的基本粮食类型自给自足指标与测试地区各市土地退化程度之间的关系已经揭示。我们的研究结果使我们能够确定与粮食安全相关的主要问题并提出改善这一状况的建议。
