LOGISTICAL APPROACHES TO THE ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GLOBAL FOOD MARKET

Abstract

Purpose. The aim of the article is to identify the important global issues of human food, updating the main problems of global food security, issues of waste and loss of a certain percentage of food products. Methodology of the study. Theoretical and methodological principles of research are the works of domestic and foreign authors in this issue. The following basic research methods are used in the paper such as: dynamical and statistical, evaluation, analysis, synthesis in substantiating the functioning and future prospects for further logistics market of food products in the context of globalization. Finding. The important issues of human food, updating the main problems of global food security, issues of waste and loss of a certain percentage of products are defined and outlined. Global criteria for determining food security in three main ways: affordability, availability, quality and safety, are reviewed. It is investigated the proportion of food losses and waste that a layer of human wastes, while the other layer hungers. It is determined that the food market is fundamental, because it provides important vital human needs, contributes to the achievement of sustainable human development, because it is central to the global market system. Scientific novelty. The concept of essence of index “food security” is generalized, its role in the global logistics food market in solving problems of human food is substantiated. The issue of waste and loss of a certain percentage of food products as a result of inefficient functioning of logistics approach to the use of food market is outlined in the article. Practical value. The obtained results of research in terms of index review “food security” will contribute to the further effective functioning of the global food market and its efficient organization of logistics.
