Abstract

The article deals with the evolution of the concept of food security and provision
of the population with food, which we have classified into five stages. By now, a
new direction of security in the system of national security has fully formed - food
security, with its categorical apparatus, its theoretical and methodological basis
and practical approaches to providing the population with food. It is noted that
the peculiarity of all stages of food security is that it is not static, but dynamically
developing. The modern, fifth stage of food security development has turned out
to be the most complicated and in modern time frames it has become a weapon of
global confrontation, food supplies from a number of countries are blocked. In this
situation there is only one way out - to ensure food security at the level of national
states.

Key words:

Food security, practical approaches, evolution, stages, production,
consumption, self-sufficiency.
