The subject-matter of the study is the theoretical and practical aspects of providing food security in the country. In the process of the study, the following methods were used: dialectical – to reveal regularities and factors of the food security system, system analysis – to identify the essence of food security of the country, graphical analysis – for a schematic representation of generalized theoretical and practical results of the research, logical generalization of the results – to substantiate the basic preconditions for forming a system for ensuring food security of the country. The stable system of ensuring food security of the population, the development of the agro-industrial complex and the food industry are important factors in improving the country’s economic welfare. Key problems in ensuring the food security of Ukraine are analysed, among them are: low level of real incomes of the majority of the population; reduction in the share of small and medium businesses; low competitiveness of agriculture and food industry; insufficiently developed infrastructure of the food market; rising unemployment; increase in grain export volumes; deterioration of agricultural land quality; environmental pollution; the level of urbanization of the population. Main preconditions for forming the food security system are identified and substantiated: creation of favourable institutional environment that requires completion of the land reform in Ukraine; increasing the efficiency of agricultural land use; expanding the tools of state support for agricultural production; stimulating the development of crop and livestock industry; expansion of integration and technological links between agricultural producers and food industry enterprises. Based on the results obtained, the author determined the factors and conditions of the food security system.
