Abstract: Abstract The food security on national and regional levels has a great significance in the modern world. In Russia unstable geopolitical situation together with the sanctions, imposed by the EU and USA, makes the question of intensive agrarian sector development more important than ever. Therefore the research covers the topical issues. The challenges connected with import substitution as well as new opportunities opening before agro-industrial enterprises make us analyze questions of food security more deeply. The main objective of our research is to estimate the level of regional food security, to identify the factors providing food security, to create the model of food security, and to develop recommendations for agrarian policy improvement. In the article we consider the conditions and state of agro-industrial complex in Chelyabinsk Region. Discovered features and main tendencies in this sector define key problems, including imperfection of the contractual relations, high entrance barriers, and technological lag. The existing agrarian policy in Russia demonstrates low level of effectiveness. It must be directed to improve the contractual relations in the sector as the main condition of regional food security achievement, which demands to reduce a chain of contractors “farmers—manufacturers—merchandisers—consumers” by effective regulation of all agents’ relationship.
