Abstract: The issues of increasing the validity of the conceptual provisions of strategic planning for the development of the agri-food sector, aimed at creating the physical and economic accessibility of products, are raised. It has been determined that the current legal framework creates difficulties in implementing such a strategy concept, which ensures mutual coherence and unity of provisions on the sustainable development of the agricultural sector and ensuring food security as a complex problem solved at the sectoral and regional level. It is shown that the basis of the conceptual provisions of strategizing is the task of self-sufficiency of rational consumption standards and balancing of domestic demand and supply of domestic products at a fundamentally new level. To effectively integrate conceptual provisions into the strategic planning system, it has been established that it is methodologically correct to study the categories “physical accessibility” and “economic accessibility” in inextricable connection. It is proposed to supplement the content of strategic planning for the development of the agri-food sector with scientific provisions based on the convergence of the physical and economic accessibility of products. This will strengthen the conceptual line of the new Food Security Doctrine by setting a multi-purpose task to interlink production and consumption with rational standards and developing methods for its comprehensive solution. The effects of specifying conceptual provisions will extend to the methodological and practical foundations of strategizing. It is expected that the strategic planning system will be harmonized at the federal and regional levels, focused on the effective use of the competitive advantages of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in achieving new milestones in food security. Options for the legal promulgation and practical implementation of the proposed conceptual provisions for strategizing the agri-food sector are proposed.
