Abstract
Ensuring food security is a key component of Kazakhstan's national security, as it directly affects the country's political stability and socio-economic development. The aim of this study is to analyze the current state of food security with a focus on the role of the agro-industrial complex (AIC). The study employed methods such as statistical and factor analysis, expert evaluations, and comparative studies.The main findings indicate that financing the AIC plays a decisive role in achieving food security. The analysis also revealed the need to improve state policy in this area, including the introduction of food security legislation, the development of sustainable agriculture, and the enhancement of logistical infrastructure to address regional disparities in access to quality food products. The study's limitations are associated with a lack of available data and its specific focus on Kazakhstan. For a deeper understanding of the issue, it is recommended to conduct international comparisons and examine the impact of global climate changes. This research is significant for both the theoretical study of food security issues and the development of practical recommendations to improve state policy, contributing to national security and enhancing the population's quality of life.
