ИСТИНА

Consumers expect that the food available on domestic markets is safe and of the expected quality. However it is not always truth. Unsustainable food chains and trade monopolization of the food market lead to weakening of the food security in the country. For improvement of human nutrition it is crucially important to provide people with high quality food and create the diverse and sustainable food chains. Systems of food safety and quality management should support fair and transparent trade thereby contributing to economic development, improved livelihoods and food security. The appropriate food safety and security indicators should be used to analyse quality of food chains in different countries . There is a need to develop food safety and security indicators that are not being fully measured, including dietary quality and trade diversity, women's empowerment, health environments and food environments.
