The article analyzes current food security issues across the Russian Arctic, which were considered at the International Arctic Forum «ARCTIC: Territory of Dialogue» on March 29–30, 2017 and at the International Scientific and Practical Conference «Technologies of Social, Economic and Logistic Processes of the Arctic zone of Russia: History and Modernity» held at the Krasnoyarsk State Agrarian University on March 30–31, 2017. Particular attention is drawn to the practical provision of certain areas with basic agricultural products. Measures are proposed for the active involvement of the population of Arctic territories and indigenous peoples of the Far North in self-sufficiency of food with the use of products of traditional nature management of indigenous peoples. The complex approach to supplying the population of the northern territories of the Siberian Arctic with balanced food in accordance with the directions of food security in the world elaborated by the UN in the Millennium Declaration is substantiated.
