• Analysis of the food security situation and food markets in border regions;
• Identification of socio-economic, environmental, and demographic factors affecting food system resilience;
• Assessment of the impact of state policies, programs, and strategies for the development of the agricultural sector;
• Study of cross-border aspects of food security and food trade;
• Development of predictive models and scenarios for sustainable regional development;
• Formulation of practical recommendations for improving mechanisms of state regulation and interregional cooperation.

The results of the Center’s research are reflected in scientific articles, analytical reports, expert opinions, and recommendations for government agencies. The Center’s scientific activities rely on an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods of economic, sociological, political, and geographical analysis.
The Center actively collaborates with domestic and international research organizations, fostering international partnerships and academic exchange in the field of food security and sustainable development.
