Abstract
The availability of food resources plays a key role in maintaining food safety for consumers. Ensuring the safety and quality of these food resources is essential to preventing food security problems. Currently, however, global food security is severely jeopardised by external factors such as pandemics and wars that hinder the production and distribution of food. Therefore, the development of digital technologies is of strategic importance for food security as their integration with agriculture is emerging as an important tool for maintaining food security. In this study, food security data of Ukraine from 2011 to 2022 were utilised. The importance of digital technologies for safeguarding food security is revealed through time series and random forest models. In addition, this paper observes the negative impact of war on food security.The findings suggest that advances in digital technologies drive efficiency and transparency in the food supply chain, increase the yield and quality of food products, and optimise the synchronisation of supply and demand. In order to further realise the potential of digital technologies in improving food security, this paper makes a number of recommendations.
