Abstract

Currently, the political, military and economic interests in the territories belonging to the Arctic zone are at the peak of the interests of many states. For individual countries adjacent to the Arctic and being members of the Arctic Five or located partially in the Arctic territories (Finland), these Arctic territories are the dominant triggers of domestic and foreign policy. As for the Russian Federation, we can say that the basis of its economy in the Arctic territories is a certain diversity. Among the segments of the economy, the leading place is occupied by the agroindustrial complex as the basis of the state’s social policy in these inaccessible remote territories. The range of interests of legal experts and agrarians includes the study and analysis of sectoral features of agriculture in the Arctic lands. Since the development of agriculture in the Arctic is impossible without substantial state support, the authors of this work attempt to identify the main vectors of dynamic development of the Arctic agroindustrial complex in conjunction with regional policy in order to meet the needs of the resident population for socially significant food products.
