Legal Aspects of Food Security from the Perspective of Genetics and Genomics

Abstract
The current state of the legal support of food security in Russia is examined from the perspective of genetics and genomics. From a comparison of conventional and legal ideas about food security, priorities are identified and foundational principles analyzed. In contrast to earlier periods, the topic of food independence as a component of food security has received higher priority in more recent legal acts. As part of a balanced approach to prohibitions, permissions, and the imposition of controls in food security in the Russian Federation, the development of national genetic and genomic technologies should be taken into account. Future prospects for the development of food security legislation in the Russian Federation are considered. A proposition to legally formalize the principles of state policy at the level of the federal law is presented.
Supporting agencies: This work was funded by the subsidies allocated from the federal budget for the implementation of the academic project entitled ‘Identification of issues of legal regulation in the field of use of genetic and genomic information. Preparation of research-based proposals for amending the Russian legislative system’ (subject code: FEUW-2020-0005).
