THE "GARDENS OF VICTORY" PROGRAM IS A TOOL FOR MOBILIZING THE POPULATION TO INCREASE FOOD SECURITY

Abstract

Goal. Based on the generalization of research by scientists, initiatives are proposed within the framework of the "Gardens of Victory" program - a tool for activating the population in order to strengthen food security Research methodology. Achieving the set goal and further solving the tasks was facilitated by the use of a complex of general scientific methods of cognition, namely: abstract-logical (substantiation of theoretical approaches to research), monographic and terminological analysis (formation of conceptual and categorical apparatus), theoretical generalization, analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction (substantiation of the main methodological principles of evaluating the implementation of the "Victory Gardens" program), abstraction and formalization (substantiation of the strategy and prospects for the development of the milk market), and others. The results. An evaluation of the implementation of the "Gardens of Victory" program was carried out as a tool for mobilizing the population in order to strengthen food security during Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. Now, after two years of war with Russia, Ukraine notes the presence of all the mentioned factors for the further development of the Ukrainian version of "Gardens of Victory" based on the experience of the USA and Canada. The country has a stable democratic system, the format of the war with the Russian Federation indicates the intention of the enemy to commit genocide against Ukrainians. In the middle of the country, there is a steady volunteer movement and unification around the idea of victory. In order to develop the "Gardens of Victory" Initiative, which has already been launched, a number of steps must be taken at the state and regional levels. And, first of all, the active role of the state is necessary. Scientific novelty. The practical approaches to the implementation of the "Victory Gardens" program of rural communities have been improved, which includes: the use of lands that were not previously used in agriculture or were taken out of circulation; involvement of schoolchildren in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits in both urban and rural areas; development of counseling; change in consumption culture. Practical significance. The practical implementation of the basic principles of the "Gardens of Victory" program will make it possible to implement the process of food self-sufficiency for members of households living in the territory of the united territorial community in the conditions of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine.
