The problem of obesity comes to the forefront in the world today. There are more overweight people than the hungry. This was stated by the Head of the Moscow office of the Food and Agriculture organization of the United Nations (FAO) on relations with Russia Eugenia Serova at the Gaidar forum.
In Russia the situation is aggravated by teenagers - more and more young people aged 15-18 are overweight. The cause is malnutrition, limited access to healthy food.

At the same time one third of food never reaches the plates of the Russians – it is thrown to waste. It is also a hot problem.

According to the Governor of Altai Krai Alexander Karlin, there should be a program on child nutrition in the country. "It is a matter of national importance," he said. In his opinion nutrition programs for the elderly, for people with impaired health, for athletes are also essential. Moreover, there are several hundreds of natural food products for sports, including tinctures of deer antlers.

In response, the Deputy Minister of agriculture Elena Astrakhantseva said that in the near future there will be approved a roadmap of National technology initiative (NTI) of healthy and personalized nutrition - "FoodNet", and the Ministry will begin the selection and support of ready breakthrough projects.

The road map "FoodNet" involves the development of technologies of "smart" food, the search for natural sources of raw materials. In order to feed the people properly, genomics, breeding, healthy farming and production without antibiotics are involved.

The Deputy Minister said that the challenge for agriculture is an innovative way of development.

The efforts of the Ministry of agriculture will focus on supporting scientific research for agriculture.

According to the participants of the discussion, there is a need at the legislative level to provide financing of corporate scientific research and development. The companies with the turnover of one billion rubles must be obliged to establish research laboratories, with a turnover of five billion rubles - engineering centers, with the turnover of more than ten billion rubles - research centers. "China has set a target to create 400 million of working positions in the digital economy, including agriculture by 2035", reminded each other the participants of the discussion and encouraged the best minds of the country to enter into discussions on a long-term program of development of agriculture.
