The study had two objectives: to propose a new system of food security indicators and to form a recommended group of indicators for the Russian Federation. In the work, a set of 17 indicators of food security were investigated by cluster analysis.

Five clusters explaining 75% of the dispersion were obtained. The first two clusters were named "Well-being, availability of basic services" and "Consumption of animal food".
