Asigurarea securității alimentare a statului: cine și pentru ce este responsabil?

Abstract

Along with other forms of security (for example – military, epidemiological, cyber security, etc.) the food security of the country's population constitutes an area of major importance regarding the successful activity of state governing bodies. Obviously, this level of importance becomes much higher under the conditions of the simultaneous appearance and operation of several risk phenomena, some of which are reflected in the given article. According to the analysis carried out, in the considerable number of publications on the subject addressed, there are practically no attempts to classify and systematize the responsibilities of the governors regarding combating (at least – contracting) risk phenomena, especially (as already mentioned), in cases of their simultaneous appearance and operation. As a consequence, a large part of problems remains not only intact, but also undetected, turning the negative consequences of their action into difficult or even impossible to solve. The aim of the paper. The scientifically argued identification and classification of the of different hierarchical levels of governmental powers, aimed at ensuring the indisputable food security of the country under the simultaneous influence of different risk groups, constitutes the main purpose of this research.

The relevant results Three hierarchical levels of responsibility of the governing bodies (and civil society) of responsibility for ensuring the food security of the country were identified, consecutively, appropriate tools and economic mechanisms were established to measure, later – evaluate, the practical results of their activity.
