The research aims to show the importance of solving the global problem of hunger to achieve world stability and economic development. Of decisive importance for achieving this goal is the international cooperation of all countries and the activities of international organizations that promote the interaction of countries in the field of obtaining affordable and high-quality food. Information sources for the research include data from Russian and international statistical institutions (Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, and FAO) and content analysis of news feeds and Internet resources. The interaction of countries as part of various integration associations and their participation in the work of international institutions in the field of food distribution, dissemination of efficient agricultural technologies, and food production will contribute to solving social problems and achieving sustainable economic growth and coordinate the export and import of food to create conditions for the full reproduction of the healthy population of the planet. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
