Abstract: Based on an integrated approach, the article considers the issues of food security and achieving sustainable economic growth of the agri-food market in Russia. The purpose of the work is to study the availability, accessibility, use and sustainability of food consumption in Russia as a whole and in the context of individual population groups for 2019-2021. It is noted that a feature of domestic agricultural production is the high growth rate of gross per capita output, relative to the world market situation against the background of rather modest values in relation to 1990. Confirmed are the conclusions of Engel's Law that with an increase in real disposable money incomes of the population: food consumption increases, but to a lesser extent than income increases; increased consumption of expensive foods in the diet; food quality improves. It is shown that: the Russian population consumes food products at a level below the rational consumption norms in almost all nomenclature positions; the consumption of inexpensive nomenclature items is increasing; a significant part of the population has significant limitations in the economic accessibility of food products; the groups of the population most vulnerable to a drop in income and a deterioration in the situation with food consumption have been identified: in the context of socio-geographical groups and the territorial aspect; noted that there are restrictions in physical access to food. A concept is proposed for changing the state policy of regulating the agro-food situation in the direction of supporting demand and building a system of interconnected institutions to increase food consumption in Russia.
