Ensuring food security in the conditions of the Far East (based on the materials of the Amur Region)

Abstract

The relevance of this study is determined by the fact that the Far East, due to restrictions dictated by natural and climatic conditions, remoteness from developed settlement centers, is the most problematic region of the country to ensure food independence. The paper analyzes the development of agriculture in the context of the implemented agrarian policy to ensure food security in the region. The Amur Region, which has the most favorable conditions for the development of agriculture, among the subjects of the Russian Federation included in the Far Eastern Federal District, was chosen as the research site. It is revealed that currently the implemented policy does not ensure the achievement of the goal in terms of food selfsufficiency of the region with the main agricultural products. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen measures of state support for the agro-industrial complex of the region
