A SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOOD SYSTEM FOR PRIVATE LANDHOLDINGS

Abstract

In Russia, there are a number of programs and strategies aimed at developing the food system, so in recent years, agricultural production has increased and dependence on food imports has decreased. Thus, the food system for private land holdings plays an important role in ensuring the food security of the country. The approach under consideration integrates various aspects of food production, including agricultural practices, access to resources and markets, and social and economic factors. Private farm entrepreneurs invest enormous efforts in improving soil quality, using sustainable growing methods and organic farming, improving the productivity of their land and conserving natural resources. They are actively involved in building local supply networks, enabling them to establish direct relationships with consumers and reduce their dependence on intermediaries. Such food systems also contribute to the reduction of transport distances and the development of infrastructure (logistics centers and wholesale and distribution centers). The work considers the trend of food system development for private land holdings. The task of implementing a food system quality improvement algorithm to improve the food system of the country is outlined. In the process of research, the processing of initial information was carried out, research methods such as analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and distraction were applied. Based on the results of the study, an algorithm for a systematic approach to food system development for private land holdings was proposed. The proposed algorithm can help to improve the food system, reduce negative environmental impacts, improve product safety and provide economic benefits to these landowners. To improve the quality, there are certain measures that need to be considered for sustainable development and food security. A systematic approach to food system development for private landholders is important and useful. Food quality has a direct impact on human health and the environment, so improving this aspect has many benefits, the main ones being increased product quality and improved food safety.
