Transformation of agrarian law as a factor of ensuring technological leadership in food security

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set a global goal for ending hunger by 2030. Ensuring food security is a global agenda. At the national level, states develop and approve strategic planning documents that define goals, objectives, tools, and indicators for ensuring food security. The Russian Federation’s food security doctrine aims not only to achieve food security indicators but also to ensure food independence (food sovereignty) of the Russian Federation. However, there are a number of threats and risks to food security, particularly technological risks. Technological lag and dependence on imports lead to a significant decline in agricultural performance, making any country more vulnerable to external threats. Therefore, the goal of Russia’s food policy is to create an effective legal framework for agricultural activities. Legal support for technological leadership in food security is comprehensive and encompasses norms from several branches of law, including agrarian law, the role of which is increasing in the context of Russia’s innovative development. The purpose of this study is to identify trends in the legal transformation of agricultural law in the context of the development of a legal mechanism for ensuring technological leadership in food security. The study identified the main areas of legal support for technological leadership in the domestic agro-industrial complex and trends in the transformation of agricultural law.
