Russia's Doctrine of Food Security Signed
February 5, 2010 |
The Russian Doctrine of Food Security has been recently signed by Dmitry Medvedev, President of the Russian Federation. The Doctrine is targeted at "reliable supply to the population of food, development of national agricultural and fisheries industry, timely respond to internal and external threats to stability of the national food market, effective participation in international cooperation in the field of food security".
The doctrine also established the level of the country's food supply through domestic production to ensure food self-sufficiency. It calls for the development of innovative technologies in the development of new sources of nutritious food and food ingredients such as biotechnology, nanotechnology and organic food production. Corollary to this is the need to establish biosafety assessment systems in the country.
