Pursuant to the UN Millennium Goals, approved in 2000, hunger should be eradicated in the 21st century, while addressing environmental problems that have accumulated over the past hundred years. One of the global environmental problems is climate change. Areas with the most vulnerable ecological system, in particular, the Arctic, are under a special blow. The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (hereinafter - the RF AZ) is the territory of the national interests of our country. These are geopolitical, military, environmental, demographic and other interests. One of the current economic problems of the RF AZ is low food self-sufficiency. Therefore, one of the tasks is the growth of agricultural production. The situation is complicated by the fact that climatic changes negatively affect the food base of reindeer, there is a decrease in the volume of aquatic biological resources, and land resources are being depleted. The experience of foreign subarctic states shows that it is possible to use genetic technologies in agricultural activities. But at the same time, agricultural technologies should be safe for the environment. Therefore, the current task is the legislative definition of legal requirements, including environmental ones, for agricultural activities in the RF AZ. The purpose of the article is to define a conceptual model of legal regulation of agricultural activities in the RF AZ. By means of the methods of comparative analysis, legal hermeneutics and legal modeling, the content and form of the conceptual model of legal regulation of agricultural activities in the RF AZ have been formulated.
