The problems of administrative and legal regulation of the organization and activities of federal executive authorities in the field of food security

Due to station pressure, as well as in order to implement the course of self-sufficiency and independence, the topic of ensuring the country's food security seems relevant. Currently, the Russian Federation is in urgent need of developing and strengthening agricultural growth, as well as food independence. The article deals with problematic issues of administrative and legal regulation of the organization and activities of executive authorities in the field of food security.After the analysis of legislation in the field under study, it is pointed out that there is an insufficient level of legal framework that enshrines the powers of federal executive authorities. An attempt is made to identify problems in the administrative and legal regulation of the activities of executive authorities in the field of food security and to propose ways to solve the identified gaps. The methodological basis of the study was analysis, synthesis, comparative legal method, system-structural and logical methods. As a result of the conducted research, it was revealed that the powers of the executive authorities responsible for ensuring food security are mostly not formed. Therefore, in order to achieve all the goals set in the Food Security Doctrine of the Russian Federation to ensure food security, it is necessary to expand the powers of the ministries and departments concerned. In our opinion, the powers of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia to accumulate food reserves also need to be worked out and normatively consolidated. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments to legislation in order to create state corporations, which will be entrusted with the functions of producing and distributing natural food products to poorly protected segments of the population who are unable to provide themselves with the diet indicated in the Doctrine.
