“…It is necessary to propose a comprehensive solution that would allow the population to have access to food and at the same time reduce the amount of food waste. It should be noted that this task differs from traditional approaches to ensuring food security (which are aimed exclusively at providing the population with guaranteed access to food and do not set any other goals, for example, improving the efficiency of food use and thus minimizing negative environmental impact) [30,31,23]. Currently, one of the main directions of the modern society evolution is the concept of sharing and collaborative consumption [2,32].…”

Authors emphasize that food in the modern world is becoming less accessible due to the present global economic, geopolitical and climatic situation. At the same time a large share of food produced in the world goes to waste. It means that there is a need to implement tools that could provide people with access to food and reduce amount of food waste. Food sharing, a novel tool of collaborative food consumption, can be used to solve this problem. The paper introduces the concept of distributive food sharing and describes its different types. A description of the present state of distributive food sharing in Russia. We state that the environment for development of distributive food sharing in Russia is not favorable. The main conclusion of the article is the need to create conditions for the development of the concept of food sharing to provide those in need with food and minimize waste.

“…Several publications are devoted to studying the specifics of food security in some countries (Aigarinova et al , 2014; Aragie, 2018; Bazga, 2012; Fedotova et al , 2018; etc.). Each state has a specific institutional environment, including a system of legal regulation of food production and turnover, the ownership structure of assets in agriculture (primarily land), food traditions, living standards and differentiation of the population (by social strata and territories of residence), level of urbanization and so on.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to show how institutional conditions affect food security at the national level.Design/methodology/approachA qualitative research with the usage of the methods of institutional, evolutionary, comparative and retrospective analysis is performed in this paper. During the study, emphasis was placed on the theory of sustainable development, the theory of economic security, the theory of economic systems and the theory of competitive advantages.FindingsFood security policies can be based on the use of the liberal or conservative paradigm. The liberal paradigm focuses on food supply. The conservative paradigm also considers food independence. The growth of global instability has led to increased use of the conservative paradigm. Within the framework of these paradigms, four alternative models of food security have been proposed: “Pure” market, procurement, distribution, directive. For their selection, the matrix method was used. The combination of market and nonmarket management methods in the production and distribution of food is considered. Each of the models is given a meaningful interpretation, and their strengths and weaknesses are identified, the conditions of applicability and efficiency factors are indicated.Originality/valueThe failure of the authorities to provide the population with access to food is largely determined by institutional factors. The system of national institutions sets limits for food security. The main limitations are: technological, land, labor, infrastructure, cluster, ecological. To overcome them, it is recommended to use the tools of innovative, scientific, technological, migration, financial, investment, cluster, sustainable development and other types of state policies. Institutional shocks that lead to crises have a significant impact on food security. The study, using the example of Russia, shows that effective institutional overcoming of them is possible using the conservative paradigm.
