Resume

This article examines enterprise innovation policy as a key factor in ensuring food security in a globalized economy. It argues that, in today’s context, enterprise innovation policy goes beyond being merely a tool for enhancing economic efficiency and takes on systemic importance in shaping sustainable, competitive, and adaptive food systems. The purpose of the article is to reveal the essence of enterprise innovation policy, define its functions within the food security system, and substantiate the mechanisms through which innovations influence the availability, quality, stability of supply, competitiveness, and sustainability of food provision. The methodological basis of the study consists of systemic, structural-functional, and logical-analytical approaches. The study employs methods of theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, scientific abstraction, and systematization. It is demonstrated that enterprises’ innovation policies directly influence key food security parameters through technological modernization of production, digitalization of business processes, improvement of logistics, enhancement of product quality and safety, as well as increased adaptability of enterprises to global risks. The article demonstrates that in a globalized economy, the innovation policy of enterprises serves not only as a tool for improving operational efficiency but also as a key factor in ensuring food security. It is determined that its impact is realized through technological modernization of production, improvement of product quality and safety, optimization of logistics, reduction of costs, and strengthening of enterprises’ adaptability to external challenges. A synthesis of theoretical approaches has made it possible to define an enterprise’s innovation policy as a systemic mechanism for transforming knowledge, technologies, and management decisions into outcomes that are significant for food security. It has been established that, under current conditions, the greatest effectiveness is achieved through a comprehensive combination of product, process, organizational, and digital innovations, which creates the prerequisites for strengthening the resilience of food systems and improving the efficiency of enterprise operations in a global competitive environment. Directions for improving the innovation policy for enterprise development in the context of strengthening food security are proposed.
