In order to solve this problem,the authors develop recommendations for stabilization of agricultural production,as a basis of country’s food security. The authors also conduct analysis of agricultural development of developed countries and determine primary tasks,solution of which will stipulate provision of the required level of food security. As a result of the research,the authors come to the conclusion that the developed recommendations can be directions of unified state approach to solving the problem of achievement of food security and formation of agrarian policy. At that,it should be noted that policy which is aimed at achievement of national-level goal cannot be formed without relevant informational provision.
