Abstract

There are only two real types of power in the modern world - power of oil and power of food. Power of food is yet more mighty, than power of oil. As early as 1975 former US agriculture secretary Earl Butz said that in the nearest half-century the major means of intercourse USA with 2/3 populations of planet would become a food. For this reason the providing population by qualitative and safe foods in a sufficient amount is one of global problems of humanity. However, in spite of activation UN efforts to achieve in 2015 aims set out in Declaration of III of millennium about reduction twice amount of planet's starving population, a global food crisis deepens under the action of a number of factors. At the present time about 40 million people die from starvation and its consequences, including almost 13 million children, and more than 40 % population, in particular in countries of former soviet camp, suffer from the deficit of microelements, that it is confidently possible to name "the hidden famine". In developing countries a food problem acquired dramatic and somewhere even catastrophic character. We find especially vivid examples of this process in ХІХ-ХХ centuries, when the flashes of famine took away millions of lives in China, India, Ireland, Africa and former USSR. But we are convinced, that famine on a background active development of technical, technological, biochemical, plant-breeding innovations with the simultaneous overproduce of foods in the developed countries is the real paradox of our time. Reaching of food safety at national level does not mean that country is completely self-sufficient in food. If the state is unable to produce food in volumes sufficient for satisfaction internal needs, it must have an opportunity to cover a lack by import. Also it should be remembered that the increase food security of certain country requires the concerted actions of different state structures. Corresponding decisions are formalized legislatively, and the process of their realization must be provided by necessary intellectual, financial and material resources.
