Abstract

UA: У статті проведено дослідження продовольчого забезпечення домогосподарств України в умовах воєнного часу. Виконано оцінку економічної доступності продовольства необхідного обсягу та якості для усіх соціальних груп населення. Визначено стабільний рівень продовольчої забезпеченості аграрного сектора економіки за рахунок власного виробництва аграрної продукції громадами, в контексті формування його продовольчої безпеки. EN: Today, Ukraine's food security is an important component of national security. The almost two-year war with the Russian Federation disrupted the sustainable production of basic food products and their availability to the population. Overcoming the complex challenges that Ukraine faces today requires transformational actions that embrace the principles of sustainability and the elimination of the consequences of martial law, which, since the beginning of the full-scale intervention of the aggressor country, caused a break in the food chain between rural areas, with rational use of nature and subjects of food provision in the regions of the country. The purpose of the article is to study the theoretical and methodological aspects of the formation of household food supply in wartime conditions. It has been established that the key criterion of food security is not ensured in Ukraine today - the economic availability of food of the necessary volume and quality for all social groups of the population. The obstacle to this is the system of distribution of national income, which is discriminatory towards the majority of the country's population. Therefore, to ensure economic access to food for the entire population of our country, changes in the current model of Ukraine's economy are necessary. It was determined that for the period of 2023-2026, provided that the production of meat and meat products by the rural OTG of Ukraine increases by 10%, the total amount of resources of the agricultural sector of the economy will increase by 14.4%, the increase in the consumption fund will be 15.5%, which will lead to an increase in the general needs of the population for this type of agricultural products up to 7.1%. Accordingly, this will allow to increase the food self-sufficiency index of the agricultural sector from 0.65 to 0.70, respectively. Thus, in Ukraine, even in the conditions of a crisis military conflict, it is necessary to increase the aggregate income of households on the basis of a balanced socio-economic policy of the state.
