Support for Socially Vulnerable Segments of the Population in the Context of Overcoming the Consequences of the Pandemic: Agricultural Technologies, Infrastructure

Abstract

Given the extraordinary nature of the current situation related to the need to overcome the consequences of the pandemic, governments are taking measures to support both the population and the economies of their countries as a whole. Targeted measures are being taken in Russia. Solving problems in the food sector involves moving in different directions. One of them is related to direct support of the population in the form of food distribution. Another direction involves the implementation of complex measures. In particular, the implementation of structural reforms that cover all areas of production, economy, and social sphere. In relation to the Russian economy, this is a problem of high political and social significance: providing food to socially vulnerable categories of the population, and preventing poverty in the agricultural sector. Goal: as part of the implementation of measures to overcome the consequences of the pandemic, to gain new theoretical knowledge on creating a sustainable food supply system, to consider the interaction of all participants in the process of ensuring the food chain from the field(farm) to the counter within the framework of the industrial concept.
