On the one hand, security with high-quality and available food influences formation of the human capital as poor quality of products is negatively reflected on health and efficiency of the person, intellectual development of younger generation. However to most of residents of our country even main types of the food become less available because of their insufficient offer and high prices. Consumption of the main food of the population of Russia is also incomparable to similar indicators of the economic developed countries. Consumption of meat and dairy products makes 60–75 % of necessary norm, and only on bread and to bakery products exceeds norm that isn’t the positive characteristic of a food allowance of Russians On the other hand, existence of a manpower, the qualitative human capital allows to solve a problem of food security of the region and country. Now there are reductions of the population and, respectively, a manpower, in national economy, is observed processes of aging and decrease in level of working capacity because average age of men in the country below an average whereas the age of women exceeds average Russian values, thus indicators of working capacity have an opposite focus. Thus, owing to insufficiency of the human capital and also the low income at villagers it is heavy to solve a problem of food security of the country. Therefore it is necessary to create favorable conditions for formation of the human capital as possibility of ensuring food security of the country will be one of results.
Keywords: human capital, rural population, rural incomes, food consumption, food security in the region, factors of food security.
