ABSTRACT

Introduction. Ensuring food security involves not only providing the necessary quantity of food products but also controlling their quality. The rising incidence of diet-related diseases necessitates closer attention to nutrition quality. Methods. The research methodology is based on the analysis of statistical indicators and data drawn from media reports and open sources. Based on the collected and processed information on the possible causal link between declining consumption of natural meat and dairy products and the rise in diet-related diseases, a model was developed grouping the factors that affect product quality characteristics. Results. Government measures to ensure food security can be grouped into four main areas of activity. The foundation of food security rests on measures that establish the raw material and production base for supplying the population with food. The development of the agro-industrial complex is of significant importance. Looking ahead, the exploration of alternative protein sources comparable to natural ones may become increasingly relevant. Economic factors in food security are intended to give producers the financial capacity to manufacture products with health-promoting properties, while also enabling consumers to purchase them. Educational and psychological factors should ensure an optimal balance of dietary patterns, quantity, quality, composition, and other nutritional characteristics. Policy formulation for nutrition quality should account for both objective and subjective determinants of dietary behaviour. An effective nutrition quality policy should aim to improve overall public health, increase life expectancy, and reduce the incidence of diet-related diseases.
