Abstract: The relevance of the research topic is explained by the fact that agriculture in the Arctic regions, not currently playing a significant role in the economic indicators of their regions, both for objective and subjective reasons, is the most important direction for achieving self-sufficiency of these regions in various areas, including food. The Arctic regions, being priority geostrategic territories of the Russian Federation, play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable development and concentrate the resource, transport, military, environmental and strategic potential of our country. At the same time, living and working conditions and agricultural activities are incomparably more severe compared to the rest of the country. In this regard, special attention should be paid to rural areas and the population living there. Within the framework of the study, the goal was set to assess the current state of security of agricultural workers in the Arctic regions and to highlight the features of remuneration in these territories. Based on the analysis of statistical information, modern scientific works, official reports from the mass media, the insufficiency of disclosure of the agricultural potential of these territories was determined, an assessment of the state of animal husbandry as a key branch of agriculture in the Arctic zone was given. Based on the current situation, a number of proposals have been formulated that can contribute to improving the situation in agriculture in the Arctic regions. The active use of mechanisms within the framework of the national project «Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship and support of individual entrepreneurial initiative» was particularly highlighted as one of the methods of increasing the contribution of novice agricultural producers.
