Abstract

The article analyzes the problems of legal support for food security in the Russian Federation. The need to introduce a criterion for the independence of food security in Russia is substantiated. This approach turned out to be far-sighted and proved its correctness in the context of the sanctions policy of leading European countries against the Russian Federation. The weak point of food security is substantiated: the lack of domestically bred seeds for certain types of agricultural plants that require a policy of targeted state support, an alternative to which is the increase in state-owned agricultural organizations, including at the expense of enterprises of the Ministry of Defense. The specified measures can also contribute to the state's influence on the rush food demand during difficult periods of state policy. In the latter case, it is also advisable to introduce control (restrictions) on the purchase of certain groups of food. The specified economic measures require detailed legal regulation in special agrarian legislation.
