Food Security in the Far East: New Approaches to Solving the Problem

Abstract

The implementation of the socio-economic development programme of the Far East sets tasks to increase the permanent population of the Russian Far East. This problem cannot be solved without a corresponding increase in the food supply of the macro-region. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the need to modernize the system of food supply of the Far Eastern territories, taking into account external threats. The article examines approaches to agricultural development and solving the problem of food security in the Far Eastern regions of Russia. The author considers the potential for the permanent population of the Far East to produce enough food for self-sufficiency and assesses the impact of preferential regimes on agricultural development and food security. The author analyzes the current regulatory acts and the results of their implementation, on the basis of which he evaluates the effectiveness of public policy in modern conditions and proposes recommendations for solving the problem.
