Food security of countries is the basis for ensuring a high level of life quality and guarantees the maintenance of sustainable socio-economic development. Given that the main criteria for ensuring food security of the country is the quality of life of the population, important conditions for achieving this are the availability and high quality of food. The study of global trends in food security allows a comprehensive analysis of the trajectory of its development, in practice to use the potential of global trends to strengthen the food supply to the population in the global dimension. Food security is designed to meet the vital social needs of the population and the ability to realize the individual potential of each person. Nowadays, in the post-pandemic world, new challenges and risks are emerging that do not allow us to fully ensure food security, it is an objective necessity for the development of humanity in the context of global civilization. Its provision is a guarantee of regular access of the population to high-quality food necessary for leading an active and healthy lifestyle. Moreover, the low purchasing power of the population forces them to meet their needs through cheaper and low-quality food. The actual level of food consumption in post-pandemic realities does not meet rational standards, so there is an imbalance in the diet and rising prices. To solve such food problems, it is important to draw the attention of countries and the world community to overcoming poverty, to ensure the transition to an economy of sustainable development. Food shortages are so destructive to society that they are considered the main driver of disintegration of society and countries. Increasing efforts today are needed to improve global supply chains, reduce food losses and food waste, and ensure access to food for all, especially those suffering from hunger, malnutrition and poverty.
