Abstract: In scientific publications of agricultural economists, issues of ensuring food security, including indicators for assessing food security, are widely discussed. It should be noted that the methodological approaches to food security assessment set out in the scientific works of Russian scientists do not take into account all areas of food security assessment. In this direction, there are many unexplored issues concerning both the production of agricultural products and the provision of food to the population. An important place should be given to the analysis of indicators characterizing the level of differentiation of consumption, nutritional and energy value of food consumed by the population of the Russian Federation. Such an analysis allows us to give an objective assessment of food consumption, its quality and energy value by various socio-demographic groups of the population, differentiated by income level. This approach is largely due to the need to obtain objective information about the state of food security at the national level. At the same time, the system of indicators for assessing food security should be structured and justified, and indicators could be calculated on the basis of available information. This article is devoted to the assessment of the differentiation of consumption, nutritional and energy value of food and involves consideration of a wide range of issues. However, due to the limited volume of the publication, not all issues are presented fully enough, other issues are of a debatable nature, and some are disclosed due to the lack of an information base.
