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.
