State policy of Ukraine in the field of overcoming food crisis at global and national level

Abstract

The paper considers the main challenges faced by the food security system of Ukraine under conditions of a full-scale war, including production, logistics, price, energy and trade challenges. It is emphasized that the war in Ukraine caused a significant reduction in Ukraine’s agricultural production capacity and made it difficult to access resources and territories that were previously the key ones for agricultural activity. The paper analyzes the regulations of the Government of Ukraine and the EU, data from official statistics and reports of the central executive authorities of Ukraine, which prove the effectiveness and adaptability of state measures aimed at preventing the food crisis, maintaining a stable level of agricultural production despite limited resources and logistical complications due to military actions. As a result of the research, mechanisms were systematized and unique characteristics of the state policy of Ukraine, simultaneously solving two priority goals, were identified based on the criteria proposed: restoration and stabilization of agricultural production capacities during the war and ensuring the population’s access to food. The systematization of state policy mechanisms made it possible to identify the most effective strategies and tools for managing the national and global food crisis during wartime.
