Food Supply and Its Security in the North: Regional Aspect

Abstract

The article deals with the need to increase the competitiveness of rural areas in the food supply market with local products for the population of the republic. The necessity to strengthen the protectionist economic social policy of the state for the North regions development and create conditions for the effective functioning of the agricultural sector of the economy is justified. We raises the question about necessity to maintain state support and government regulation at both the regional and federal levels in order to ensure employment of the rural population, increase the level of its income, preserve local traditions, and classify agriculture in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) as a traditional sector of the North’s economy.
