Abstract

The article assesses the food security of the Volgograd region in 2016. For this, the author's methodology for calculating food security at the regional level is used based on the integral index - the food security index of the region. The following parameters are analyzed: the level of food independence (self-sufficiency) of the region, the degree of satisfaction of the physiological needs of the population in basic food products and the level of economic accessibility of food. It was found that in 2016 the food security of the region under study was at an acceptable level. The deviation of the food safety index of the region from the optimal value was due to insufficient volumes of production of such important food products as milk and meat, a significant degree of differentiation of the population's incomes and a high proportion of food expenditures in the structure of household consumption expenditures.
