The article is devoted to the research of the methodological provision of food
safety assessment in Ukraine, presented in the scientific literature and laws and
regulations. The specifics and the advantages and disadvantages of methodical
approaches to the formation of the analytical basis for the further development of
the food security strategy, the adoption of relevant strategic decisions, and the
identification of priority areas of strategic planning are revealed.
There is developed a method for estimating the state of food security of the
county based on an objective system of indicators, which takes into account the
components of the strategy and allows revealing the key directions of strategic
planning for the further strengthening of food security. The proposed system of
relative variables (indexes) for an objective assessment of food security trends
suggests their comparison with statutory values or values favourable by certain
criteria.
Indicators for assessing the strategic level of food security are grouped as
follows: assessing production trends and their compliance with domestic needs;
dependence of food supply of the country and resource supply of the agricultural
sector on import deliveries; estimation of stocks dynamics (ratio of production and
consumption); assessing the quality and availability of food, balance of nutrition.
A practical example illustrates the proposed methodology for assessing food
security and formulates conclusions on the further development of a state food
security strategy.
