Abstract: The research of the problem of providing sufficient food for the population of the Northern territories is a priority in achieving the parameters of the Doctrine of food security of the country. Sufficiency of consumption of the food in this or that concrete region of the North is determined by two main positions: degree of satisfaction of needs of the population for the main food; level of the power maintenance of a food allowance. Base of definition of the indicators characterizing degree of sufficiency of consumption of the food by the population of regions of the North is the ratio of the actual and standard data. A comparative analysis of the level of food consumption between regions of the North and of Northern regions with average data in the Russian Federation was made. The scientific assessment of trends and patterns that emerged in the field of food security of the population in Northern areas, in the course of market reforms and the subsequent period is proposed. The positive experience of the formation of food resources in the North in the period of planned economy was received, including the rational combination of the development of local agricultural production and importation of food from outside. At present a decisive impact on the sufficiency of food in the North provides the level of development of local agricultural production, while the solvency of monetary income of the population is not a limiting factor.
