Abstract. Food independence of the country and its regions is an integral part of economic security, the level of which depends on self-sufficiency in basic agricultural products on the domestic market. The purpose of this article is to analyze and evaluate self-sufficiency in basic agricultural products in an industrial region. The study utilizes a combination of methods: an analysis of current legislation (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On Approval of the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation”); a statistical analysis of the results of state support, federal and regional programs for the modernization of agricultural sectors in the region; and a comparative method for assessing the food independence of regions in the Ural Federal District. The factor analysis method shows the dependence of the actual volume of production of types of products in the region in the final and base periods. The scientific novelty of this study lies in the author's approach to assessing the sustainability of food self-sufficiency in an industrial region using the regional food self-sufficiency sustainability index, as well as the actual production volume in the final and base periods. The main results of the study, presented in the text of the article, demonstrate that support for the domestic agricultural sector is a necessary condition for meeting the standards of the Food Security Doctrine in the country and in each of its regions. Positive trends in the further development of agricultural sectors using innovative technologies are noted.
