ABSTRACT

Economic and food security are key factors in the sustainable development of society in the context of globalization, crises, environmental challenges, and geopolitical instability. Logistical disruptions, instability of the food market price situation, and exhaustion of resources require a comprehensive and strategic approach to addressing them. The purpose of this study is to provide an analytical overview of the state of economic and food security, to identify challenges, and to develop evidence-based solutions to strengthen them. The study focuses on strengthening management, transferring innovations in agriculture, and expanding and intensifying international cooperation to enhance security and socio-economic development. Using an integrated approach, statistical and benchmarking tools, the main threats and challenges to economic and food security in the world are identified. Based on UNCCD data, the global food security index (2022) for nations of various socioeconomic levels is presented. The link between GDP and international trade, inflation, defense spending, direct investment, and political stability is demonstrated by regression analysis and an approximation equation. Specific attention was paid to the role of public policy, international cooperation, and the introduction of innovations in agriculture. The results of the study can serve as a basis for developing strategies to ensure sustainable economic development and food security in the face of current challenges. It has been established that food security requires public policies to support domestic production, investment in the agricultural sector, and protection from economic shocks. Strengthening food resource management institutions and developing sustainable agricultural technologies are necessary to reduce import dependence and increase resilience.
