Abstract

The paper is devoted to the formation of a system of indicators for monitoring threats to food security in the regions of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF). The theoretical basis for the study included the results of the analysis of the accumulated foreign experience and current Russian practice on food safety assessment at the federal and regional levels. Focusing on the studied approaches, taking into account the identified advantages and disadvantages, the authors have compiled a list of methodological principles, on the basis of which a comprehensive system of indicators and indicators for assessing food security in the Arctic regions has been proposed. The results of the study can be used by regional and federal government to monitor risks and threats in the food sector of the Arctic territories, as well as to adjust existing regulatory and strategic documents and improve the mechanisms for ensuring food security in the Russian Arctic.

Highlights

Food security is the most important structural element of the economic security system, and, an integral part of the national security of the state

Composite indicators aimed at the synthesis of various aspects characterizing food security are as follows [2]: the Global Food Security Index (GFSI), the Global Hunger Index (GHI), the Poverty and Hunger Index (PHI)

Summary

Introduction

Food security is the most important structural element of the economic security system, and, an integral part of the national security of the state. Improving the provision of the population with food is an important socio-economic problem, the solution of which is of paramount importance at all levels of the organization of power. The territory of the Russian Federation has some vulnerable regions for which the problem of food security is extremely relevant due to the specifics of the economic and geographical situation, natural and climatic conditions and socio-economic development. These are regions of the Russian Arctic
