Zusammenfassung:
In less than twenty years, Putin's Russia moved from heavily relying on imports to feed the population to being one of the world's leading food exporters. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of this transformation, as well as its causes and consequences for Russia's domestic politics and foreign policy. They argue that Russia's food independence agenda is an outcome of a deliberate, decades-long policy to better prepare the country for a confrontation with the West. Moreover, they show that for the Kremlin, nutritional self-sufficiency and domestic food production is a crucial pillar of state security and regime survival.
