- Аннотация: Supplying food to the regions of the Russian Far North is a diffi cult and complex task that requires a great deal of money. Its solution, despite diffi cult natural and geographic conditions, is necessary to ensure food security and provide northern residents with food that is consistent with their physical needs and with modern standards of quality of life, to preserve economic and cultural traditions, and to promote the harmonious development of rural territories.
