Agricultural activity, being based on the use of relatively and / or absolutely limited sources (for example, agricultural land), being carried out under the "open sky" and oriented towards the stable (sustainable) provision of the country's population with food is, at the same time, excessively sensitive of various risk phenomena. The situation is strongly exacerbated in case of occurrence and simultaneous negative action of several of the risk phenomena with their disastrous "effect" either doubled or tripled, etc. As the analysis carried out in such situations shows, it is necessary to take radical "anti-crisis" measures, with the massive attraction of internal and (where appropriate) external sources, with the elaboration and practical materialization of regional or national programs on combating, at the very least – reducing, the negative consequences, which are likely to cause significant economic, financial, social, etc. losses. The aim of the paper is to identify and assess in advance the various risk phenomena on food security of the country (Republic of Moldova) and to submit socio-economic proposals to combat the serious consequences that may be caused by the above-mentioned risk phenomena. The methods applied: Some specific components of the general method of dialectical materialism were used as the main research methods, including: analysis, synthesis, statistical groupings, method of comparison of quantitative indicators, method of scientific abstraction, descriptive method, etc.
