On measures of state support for northern reindeer husbandry in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) (р. 1)

Abstract

Russia is the world leader in the number of reindeer: 60% of the global domestic population is located in our country. But the trends are such that the number of animals in the northern regions decreases annually or remains stable. Reindeer husbandry is the only branch of agriculture that employs the entire indigenous population of the North, Siberia and the Far East and the industry most exposed to threats from industrial development. A special feature of reindeer husbandry in Russia compared to other countries is the diversity of its forms and methods. Since 2006, the development of reindeer husbandry has been included in the national project, and in 2007 it became a priority area for the development of livestock husbandry. Starting from 2021, a “Strategy for the development of northern reindeer husbandry in the Russian Federation until 2030” is being developed, aimed at the development of reindeer husbandry, the use, protection, protection and reproduction of the reindeer herd, the innovative and effective development of technological methods for processing raw materials, ensuring accelerated growth of the economic sector, social and environmental safety of the country.

The article discusses measures of state support for northern reindeer husbandry in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia); the need to adopt a federal law on reindeer husbandry is substantiated.
