Achieving food security and independence involves overcoming various risks and threats. The most probable and dangerous risks should be recognized: natural, weather and man-made; economic and industrial; innovative. Macroeconomic risks, including those related to the global market situation, as well as political risks of a national and global scale, have a strong impact on the agri-food complex. Threats to achieving food security are associated with a low-income level of a significant part of the population, underdeveloped infrastructure, depreciation of fixed production assets, a shortage of personnel in agriculture, and an inefficient management system.
