Overview of contemporary threats to food security in the context of the global problem of malnutrition

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article was to analyze and systematize contemporary threats to food security within the context of the global malnutrition crisis. The author sought to demonstrate that food security should be understood as a complex and multidimensional phenomenon, simultaneously shaped by environmental, politico-legal, socio-demographic, and economic determinants. The study employed the method of secondary data analysis (desk research). A critical selection and synthesis of both qualitative and quantitative data were conducted, drawing from primary and secondary sources. The research demonstrated that the primary factors undermining food security included climate change, environmental degradation, political and armed instability, structural poverty, rising energy and raw material costs, as well as demographic and public health challenges. The analysis also indicated that food production and consumption are increasingly subject to pressures stemming from globalization, shifts in consumption patterns, and the misalignment of distribution systems with the needs of local communities. The study’s findings confirmed the necessity of adopting a comprehensive and integrated approach to food security, treated as a strategic category within the broader discourse on global development. The identified threats should serve as a foundation for the formulation of coherent political and institutional strategies that are regionally tailored and aimed at mitigating the long-term effects of malnutrition.
