Subject. The article examines the conformity of strategic planning tools and measures for agriculture with the current situation in the sector and national food security goals. Objectives. I determine agricultural planning tools, which appear most effective for food issues, referring to foreign countries’ practices. Methods. The study involves methods of expert assessment, generalization and sorting of leading scholars’ proceedings. I conducted the comparative analysis of advanced economies’ data, referring to the statistical database on the official website of the OECD. Results. I performed a scientific overview of strategic planning tools and measures for agriculture, which are widely used by advanced economies. The development of agriculture and food security are viewed as a comprehensive matter. Pursuing the high food independence and the development of the export potential, countries, like Russia, apply a variety of planning tools and measures, such as quotas, direct subsidies, guarantees, State aid, food aid. Using the above mechanisms, advanced economies try to address all aspects of the food security, thus ensuring the equilibrium of food demand and supply in terms of regional consumption rates and further. Conclusions. The use of such mechanisms in Russia may prove even more useful than abroad. If put on scientific grounds and approaches, planning mechanisms for agriculture will become even more result-oriented to address food security issues.
Keywords: food security, affordability, planning tools, production quotas, direct subsidy, governmental guarantee
