Impact of Natural Hazards Dynamics on Food Balance Sheets

The article considers the impact made by natural hazards on the parameters of the staple food self-sufficiency for the Russian Federation. It is shown how the negative effect of such phenomena is gradually spreading and affects the components of “food sovereignty” and their links. A list for types and dynamic series of hydrometeorological hazards most frequently occurring on the territory of the Russian Federation is compiled for the time interval from 1991 to 2019. Correlation and regression analysis of the dependence observed for production indicators and the use of certain types of product groups (in the context of food balance sheet items) on the occurrence of specific natural hazard types was carried out. The results of the analytical study show that the integral effect of the consequences brought about by natural hazards is reflected in the matrix representing food balance sheets.
