Introduction. The level of food security depends on the effective operation of the entire food security system at the same time, the use of division at the level ensures the effective functioning of rapid response mechanisms to modern challenges: global food security manifests the efforts of the international community. Effective interaction between local authorities and food producers is needed to ensure the regional level.

The purpose of this article is research of theoretical and methodological bases of criteria formation for research of food safety levels in different regions.

Results. Among the many problematic issues of food security of the state, the regional aspect stands out. Therefore, the food security complex of the region should be aimed at ensuring food independence, sustainability, stability, progressive implementation, improvement. The main principles of the food complex are the components of complexity, flexibility for ensuring food security of the region in relation to future threatening moments. The application of the system in the management of food security in the region will form a mechanism of organizational structure that combines all management actions to achieve the goals of adaptation of the food security program for the Black Sea region of Ukraine. The relationship of regional actors in the food security system is based on the regulators of economic activity in the region. The policy of regulators uses only reliable and objective assessments of the industrial, economic, industrial and financial environment of economic entities in the region in management decisions on the implementation of food and security policy, the formation of development budgets of the Black Sea region.
