Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of the global food crisis amidst the modern geopolitical situation. The authors conducted an assessment of global hunger and malnutrition, which showed that since 2019, the number of undernourished in the world has increased from 135 to 345 million, and 50 million people from 45 countries are on the verge of hunger. In 2022, 33.3% of the rural population suffered mainly from moderate or acute food insecurity, compared with 28.8% in suburban areas and 26.0% in urban areas. Conflicts and extreme weather events continue to exacerbate the problem of severe food insecurity and malnutrition. However, another significant factor of hunger, especially in the poorest countries of the world, was the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the negative consequences of the military actions in Ukraine, primarily due to the high dependence of these countries on food imports and agricultural resources and vulnerability to global food price spikes. The key points in solving the problem under study should be as follows: improving the system of social protection and combating poverty, promoting sustainable agricultural development, providing humanitarian assistance to certain groups of the population, developing investment activities in the field of nutrition, increasing investment activity in the field of research and technology, etc. Acknowledgments: The article was prepared within the framework of state assignments of IPR RAS, research topics “Institutional transformation of economic security in solving socio-economic problems of sustainable development of the national economy of Russia” and “Modeling of processes to ensure sustainable and balanced socio-economic and spatial development of Russia and neighboring countries in order to form a Greater Eurasian Partnership”.
