This study aims to assess the level of food security in the Caucasus and Central Asia (CCA). Given this regions socioeconomic and environmental challenges, ensuring food security is crucial for achieving its sustainable development. To achieve the goal set in the study, the authors use qualitative research and mathematical methods to process the results. Based on theoretical generalization, comparison, and structural and logical analysis, the study determines the reflection of the concept of food security in official documents and scientific literature, the differences and similarities in approaches to food security in the CCA, the levels of self-sufficiency in basic agro-industrial products, and the ratios of actual consumption of basic foodstuffs per person and accepted consumption norms in the countries of the region. The production, resource, and export potential of the agro-industrial complexes of CCA countries is analyzed through SWOT analysis. The article concludes that at present, the CCA ensures its food security with its production and imports from neighboring countries. This study contributes to the field by offering a structured assessment framework for regional agro-industrial planning and providing policymakers with a data-driven basis for enhancing food security resilience in Central Asia.
