Abstract
The article substantiates proposals for development of greenhouse complexes in the eastern Russian Arctic, which are essential for strengthening food security and improving the population's quality of life. Based on an analysis of the settlement patterns and development prospects of settlements in the Russian Arctic, there is a selection of 14 locations for greenhouses of three sizes (with an annual capacity of 150, 600, or 1,000 tons). The authors use simulation modeling to assess the socioeconomic impact of greenhouse projects. To reduce payback periods, there is a need for a targeted government support mechanism through subsidizing 5‒10 % of sales. In addition, the article shows that savings on northern deliveries will almost completely offset the amount of government support.
