Abstract

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.

Highlights

In the Food Security Doctrine, food security refers to the state of the country’s social-andeconomic development, which ensures both the food independence of our country and the right of citizens to physical and economic access to food.The problem of ensuring food security is especially relevant for a number of Russian regions due to their "economic and geographical location and development"
By the conceptual model of legal regulation, we mean a set of legal signs and characteristics of impact on the behavior of participants in public relations by means of interrelated legal means, methods and ways aimed at effectively achieving goals through the implementation of tasks [9]
Summarizing domestic and foreign experience, we construe the agricultural activity as plant growing, animal husbandry, beekeeping, aquaculture, fishing and other activities that depend on climatic conditions, properties of land and other natural resources and meet the criteria determined by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia

Summary

Introduction

In the Food Security Doctrine, food security refers to the state of the country’s social-andeconomic development, which ensures both the food independence of our country and the right of citizens to physical and economic access to food. The problem of ensuring food security is especially relevant for a number of Russian regions due to their "economic and geographical location and development". The strategic planning documents aimed at the development of the RF AZ, approved by the President of the RF in 2020, note that the goal of the RF AZ economic development is to stimulate local production of agricultural raw materials and food. Any economic activity in the Arctic, and, agricultural, should be environmentally safe [3] and consider the interests of indigenous people
