Food security as an integral element in the system of rent regulation of the resource potential of socio-economic development

The development of effective food security strategies in regional systems is linked to increasing challenges driven by economic transformations, sanctions pressure, and geopolitical instability. Food security, as an existential component of the sustainable functioning of socio-economic systems, significantly influences economic stability, social equilibrium, and the rational utilization of regional resource potential. This article presents theoretical and applied aspects of the interrelation between food security and rent regulation of resource potential. The research aims to develop approaches for analyzing and managing food security through the lens of rent regulation, integration of innovations, and strategic investment collectively oriented toward eliminating disparities in the food supply of regional systems. The analysis employs a systematic approach to identify interrelations between food security and the subpotentials of socio-economic development. The application of a comparative method enables the examination of regional characteristics and the identification of key factors influencing the level of food supply. Integral indices are proposed to characterize regional self-sufficiency and resilience to external challenges, and models of rent redistribution are developed to address territorial disparities. Particular attention is given to technological transformations aimed at strengthening production potential and reducing import dependency. The results are applicable to optimizing rent redistribution, enhancing the efficiency of state programs in the agro-industrial complex, and addressing regional imbalances in food self-sufficiency. The conclusions emphasize the necessity of systematic food system management, incorporating rent regulation mechanisms, the introduction of innovative technologies, and the strategic development of infrastructure. The proposed approaches provide a foundation for long-term strategies aimed at balanced regional development and ensuring the food sustainability of socio-economic systems.
