Abstract: The article is devoted to theoretical and practical issues of ensuring food security, which is one of the main directions of ensuring the country’s national security, the basis for preserving its sovereignty, and the most important component of the state’s socio-economic policy. The author reveals the basic principles of ensuring food security in Russia in the context of modern challenges and threats. The scientific approaches of various authors to the economic categories «mechanism» and «economic mechanism» have been studied. The author's interpretation of the category «economic mechanism for ensuring food security» is given. An analysis of the current instruments for ensuring the country's food independence, as well as the economic and physical accessibility of food, was carried out. Currently, the main mechanisms are state support for the production and processing of agricultural products (in the form of subsidies), stimulation of investment activity, regulation of the market for agricultural products and food, administered by the Ministry of Agriculture within the framework of the State Program for the Development of Agriculture and Regulation of Markets for Agricultural Products, Raw Materials and Food. The article identifies the main problems of forming an economic mechanism to ensure the country's food security. The need to adapt existing instruments taking into account global challenges and threats is substantiated, and recommendations are given for improving mechanisms for ensuring food security.
