The issue of food security and providing it to the population in accordance with the norms of the world medical organizations is not only a socio-political issue, but also of strategic importance for any country. Judging by the official data, judging by the annual volume of production of basic foodstuffs, even half of them do not meet the requirements set by the norms. There is an even greater disproportion in terms of grain production. This is when the country can cover 70% of its annual needs through domestic production in accordance with proper agrarian development. The same is true of the production of vegetables, horticultural, some single and perennial crops (except grapes, wine and wine materials) and livestock products. The study found that farmers, entrepreneurs and agricultural workers in the agricultural sector are still similar to smallholder farms, have less contribution to total production, very little cash income and hence the opportunity to expand their activities

Modern methods of staff selection are related to the development of a talent management system. Implementation of this system in the organization helps to improve the organizational climate and create a desired working environment. The talent management system offered by Lance A. Berger consists of four stages. These stages include: developing an evaluation system, developing a training system, an evaluation system, and preparing an action report.The work presented by us focuses on developing a staff evaluation system. Here, it is important to identify competences, introduce a transparent system of performance appraisals, predict the potential of talents, and create an individual assessment scale for each management circle. Defining competences is actual in all fields and is particularly important in the education system. The Human Resources Management Laboratory at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University, at the Faculty of Economics and Business, is working on human resources management issues in various directions. Based on recent studies a number of issues have been analyzed that can help build the right competences in the education system. The work is mainly based on the recent research involving academic staff. We have developed hypotheses. The importance of the competences needed to be used and taken into account in the selection process was determined.
