Abstract: Thirteen factors of the small and medium-sized reindeer enterprisers resilience have been identified: 1) exposure to disturbance; 2) global autonomous and local interdependence; 3) accessibility of villages; 4) social self-organization; 5) keeping traditional values ​​and preserving traditional knowledge; 6) preservation of traditional farming practices; 7) the formation of human capital; 8) preservation of local natural capital; 9) support for ecosystems self-regulation; 10) functional diversity; 11) diversity of food sources; 12) spatial and temporal heterogeneity; 13) reasonable profitability of food systems. It has been established that the resilience of food systems and food security of indigenous communities in the Arctic is most dependent on global climate change. With the COVID-19 lockdown and restaurant closures in cities within easy reach of indigenous communities in the Arctic, a self-sustaining economy, like many decades ago, is becoming more important.
