**5. Conclusion**

Based on the research, there is a strong dependency on crop production in the Northern regions of Russia, and the level of "food security" is relatively low. A significant reason for this, of course, is the climate. But even so, this factor is beginning to "melt away" over time in favor of growing more thermophilic crops. Thus, opening even more opportunities for the state and population to develop rural areas and agriculture in this macro-region.

We suggest using the maximum possible agro-technologies for crop production under global warming conditions, such as snow retention, reduction of unproductive evaporation, and expansion of drought-tolerant crops (primarily corn, sunflower, millet), and growth of winter crops (wheat).

We also suggest a need to develop climate-friendly crop breeding, which will cope with abiotic stress conditions as much as possible and adapt to climate change.

Today, the primary vector in solving the food problem and the development of rural areas is the development of productive forces of agriculture with a bias towards innovative and nature-based technologies [6], in providing the population with domestic functional foods, except for exotic foods and the formation of the necessary social infrastructure for the people of the Russian North.

As for the 2030 Doctrine, the overall food self-sufficiency indicators in Russia are more than ambitious, given the background of the food problem. And these difficulties and barriers can be seen in the North of Russia and everywhere, especially in the North Federal District and the Far East of Russia.

However, crop production can and should be developed despite the archaic climatic conditions, especially in the river valleys. This study shows that the "sprouts" of crop production already exist in the regions of the North of Russia. It is necessary to build a growing season for crops in northern latitudes, using agronomic techniques, plant breeding, and genetic methods to gain access to safe, functional food for a healthy lifestyle throughout the season [9]. And, of course, publicadministrative and private-investment levers and support are indispensable.
