Abstract
ABSTRACT The food security model envisions food supply from industrial agriculture, food production from smallholders, and food imports. The food sovereignty model emphasizes locally-sourced food from sustainable agriculture and implies self-sufficiency while being silent on the role of imports. This article argues that neither model fits Russia’s Far North well. Residents of the Far North are generally food secure based on consumption, but their food security is insecure because of questions surrounding the reliability of food supply. The article suggests four additional factors to the food security model to sensitize it to the Russian Far North.
期刊介绍:
Polar Geographyis a quarterly publication that offers a venue for scholarly research on the physical and human aspects of the Polar Regions. The journal seeks to address the component interplay of the natural systems, the complex historical, political, economic, cultural, diplomatic, and security issues, and the interchange amongst them. As such, the journal welcomes comparative approaches, critical scholarship, and alternative and disparate perspectives from around the globe. The journal offers scientists a venue for publishing longer papers such as might result from distillation of a thesis, or review papers that place in global context results from coordinated national and international efforts currently underway in both Polar Regions.
