| Summary: | The intensification of economic development of the Arctic region of the world poses an acute problem of ensuring food security for both the indigenous population and residents of newly formed settlements, as well as employees of enterprises working on a temporary basis and involved in the development of new mineral deposits and the creation of infrastructure facilities. The study by the authors of the scientific problem of food security in the Arctic was the result of previous studies of global trends in the transformation of food systems in the context of the deterioration of food supply to the world and individual regions. The purpose of the study is to identify the current state and prospects for solving the food security problem for the population of the Arctic regions. The authors’ point of view is based on a set of multidirectional trends in food supply in the Arctic countries and consists in the fact that there are clearly pronounced country specifics and approaches to solving this problem in a geographically unified circumpolar region under the impact of a combination of endogenous and exogenous factors. The theoretical basis of the research is the studies of Russian and foreign researchers of food security at the global, regional and country levels. Its information base consists of official statistics of international organizations and countries of the Arctic region, programs and strategies for the development of the Arctic adopted in Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. The authors have developed a typology of food systems in the Arctic regions, identified problems, specifics and general features of ensuring food security in the Arctic zone at the current stage. The conclusions and results of the study can be used in shaping and developing new areas of integrated economic development by Russian federal entities and the authorities of the northern territories of Arctic states in compliance with the basic requirements for food supply Активизация ...
