【 摘 要 】

On the one hand, shaping and implementation of food security governance involves systematic steps towards taking managerial decisions aimed at intensive search for increasing food security potential in order to ensure social development. On the other hand, it increases the need for system monitoring of the level of provision with food, as well as for permanent identification of consumption needs of the population for essential food products. The purpose of the study is to explain the content of food security, identify its hierarchical levels and special aspects of food security governance in the modern context. The raised issues have been analyzed according to the system approach using abstract-logical, monographic and graphical methods. In the course of the study, it has been established that food security occupies a leading place in the system of national security owing to its determining mission in social and economic stability of the state. In this context, it has been substantiated that food security should be primarily considered from the standpoint of ensuring the economic component. The latter localizes the opportunities of sustainable development and identifies its strategic imperatives in order to ensure social welfare in the context of market relations. It is suggested to consider food security as protection of vital interests of people, community, region and state in terms of ensuring physical and economic availability, security and quality of food products, stability of food supplies and food sovereignty. Food security governance involves development and implementation of socioeconomic, organizational, legal, scientific, innovative, environmental and other measures aimed at establishing the appropriate level of food security. The list of principles of food security governance has been augmented in terms of expediency of implication of social partnership and civil solidarity on the issues of managing the development of agriculture and food systems, environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources, as well as transparent food security policy of Ukraine. The prospect for further research is the development of methodological tools for assessing indicators of food security governance.
