Abstract: The article discloses the role of healthy balanced nutrition in the implementation of the main national development goal of the Russian Federation for the period until 2030, which consists in preserving the population, health and well-being of people. Trends in the consumption of basic foodstuffs by the population of Russia, established in the post-form period, and the ratio of actual consumption in recent years with minimum and rational standards, were revealed. The functions of minimum and rational standards of food consumption in the system of public reproduction are justified. Their evolution in the USSR and the Russian Federation is considered. Factors that practically determine the historical transformation of minimum and rational food consumption standards have been identified. An assessment was given of the bill "On the consumer basket as a whole in the Russian Federation," aimed at qualitative transformations in the minimum social consumption standard, which was submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in December 2019 by a group of deputies from the Just Russia party and the calculations of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia in terms of the minimum Russian recovery budget, including the cost of the minimum food basket. An estimate of the transition of the Russian Federation in 2021 from a normative to a monetary model for the formation of a minimum consumer budget by median income is given. Based on the importance of rational nutrition for the health of the nation, an increase in the working and general life expectancy of Russian citizens, measures are proposed to improve the regulatory regulation of food consumption in the Russian Federation. Priorities are identified in the area of state regulation of food consumption at the present stage.
