Հարավային Կովկասի երկրների պարենային անվտանգության համեմատական վերլուծություն / Comparative Analysis of Food Security in the Countries of the South Caucasus

Abstract

For countries worldwide, ensuring population nutrition and food security is one of the highest economic policy priorities. However, the situation varies from one nation to another, determining the nature of social security and agrarian policy of the country, the strategy and practical steps to overcome internal and external threats. In all respects, considering the development of the agricultural sector from the point of view of food security makes it possible to focus on the most important need for human nutrition and strive for its fullest and most effective satisfaction. The purpose of this paper is to address food security issues in the South Caucasus countries ̶ Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan ̶ in the context of the world food market evolution over the past decade and the increasing internationalization of the economies. It aims to highlight both external and internal threats while outlining the key measures to mitigate and regulate them. The paper also pays attention to the methodology for assessing food safety, offers practical recommendations, and explores mechanisms for their implementation.
