Abstract: The article examines new approaches to ensure food security in a number of developed countries, included in the top 10 world leaders of the Global Food Security Index. The shift in strategies has come as a result of an increase in the diseases attributable to inadequate and inadequate nutritional health and an increase in the burden on national health systems. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed the weaknesses of food systems in all countries, exacerbating inequalities in access to safe and healthy food at affordable prices. These challenges stem from the complex nature of food security, while policies to ensure food security are fragmented and implemented by several authorities. In addition, due to the differences in national nutritional systems, reflecting the cultural characteristics of each country, it is impossible to develop uniform recommendations for healthy eating. In Russia, as in other countries, the existing dietary patterns do not comply with the recommendations of the WHO and the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, and the efforts made to optimize them will not give the expected effect without the integration of policies in the field of agriculture, food industry and health care. Foreign experience shows the need for a system-oriented approach to the formation of food security policy based on the integration of all interrelated policies and concerted action in different sectors of the economy, including healthcare.
