Abstract

This paper presents some results of studies on multifunctionality of agriculture and agri-food sector (AFS). It is proved that «multifunctionality of agriculture» is connected not only with the definition of trade regime under WTO rules, but is the most important property and characteristics of the agri-food sector. To substantiate theoretical and methodological concepts proposed by MF AFS, conceptual apparatus of the study is suggested, five basic functions are revealed and characterized, and their relationship and interaction in practice is estimated. The risks involved in implementing each function are considered. A number of critical nodes of the current state of the Russian Federation's AFS is analyzed. Suggestions to full realization of the multifunctional nature of the AFS in a worsening global economic crisis and its particular form — food security crisis — are suggested. Directions of multifunctionality regional AFS research to elaborate a strategy for their development are named.
