Abstract

Today food security in modern realities is a strategic objective of Russia, including the agro-industrial complex of the Far East. The article presents a study on spatial and temporal changes in the food self-sufficiency of the Far Eastern Federal District and the capacity of the region to produce staple foods to satisfy the demand of the local population. Our research results show that the goals of the Food Security Doctrine of Russia regarding the main agricultural products have been not yet achieved in the region. The least self-sufficient federal subjects are Chukotka Autonomous Area, Magadan Region, and Kamchatka Kray. The evaluation of food self-sufficiency plays an important role in the understanding of food security in the subjects of the Far Eastern Federal District and facilitates the optimization of agricultural production in the region.
