Impact of technical and technological modernization and special measures in addressing food security

Abstract

The paper assesses food security in the consumption of milk and dairy products in the Russian Federation and shows the role of individual categories of farms in solving the food problem. Analysis of trends and factors in the development of dairy cattle breeding substantiates the directions for providing the country's population with milk according to the rational nutritional standards in light of international sanctions. The agrarian policy pursued by the state has increased milk production and reduced its imports but has not solved the problem of food security in the consumption of dairy products. The authors conclude that food security in the consumption of milk and dairy products will be supported by import substitution in the food market, the increase in milk production through technical and technological modernization of dairy farming, improvement of selection and breeding work and state support, concentration of milk production in specialized agricultural organizations and farms, the development of cooperation, improvement of livestock productivity through the use of modern technologies, improved use of the genetic potential of cows, strengthening of the feed base, and optimization of feed rations.
