The article considers one of the directions for solving an important scientific problem of achieving a balance in the main parameters of the national food market, mitigating socio-economic differentiation, stabilizing domestic demand for food, increasing the volume and improving the nutrition structure of the population. Currently, the food market has a situation of imbalance in domestic demand and its commodity coverage. As a result of the decline in real disposable incomes of the population and food inflation, the effective demand of a significant part of the population is at a level below the need for basic foodstuffs, which are based on rational consumption rates. The implementation of the idea of food aid is a tool that solves a dual task that has a social and economic side. It will contribute to the formation of a stable domestic demand for food and increase the sustainability of the functioning of the national and regional agro-food systems. The formation of a system of domestic food assistance is aimed at improving the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the nutrition of low-income groups of the population in the context of modern global challenges and threats. The article critically reflects on the attempts to form a state food aid system, proposes the development of methodological aspects of organizing food aid, substantiates a new approach to determining the circle of persons who can apply for a food certificate, and emphasizes the expediency of a phased implementation of the idea of targeted food aid. The development of a new approach to establishing the criterion of need for food assistance and determining its value based on the systematization of existing points of view is aimed at eliminating the remaining theoretical and methodological inconsistencies in this matter, will contribute to the necessary institutionalization of the process of creating a system of domestic food assistance.
