Analysis and dynamic visualization of logistics flows in the Arctic based on geoservices
Authors: Vicentiy A V
Published: August 2020

The paper notes the importance of the Arctic and the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation as a promising source of mineral and biological resources necessary to maintain the pace of socio-economic development of modern society. However, for the integrated development of Arctic resources and the creation of a favorable environment for the life of the population in the Far North, it is necessary to solve the problems of logistics and transport accessibility of the Arctic regions. For the successful solution of logistic problems, various factors and features specific to the Arctic territories must be taken into account. In these conditions, multimodal transportation, which requires special attention to the analysis, control and monitoring of routes and delivery vehicles, is of particular relevance. In order to provide information support for solving logistics problems, an approach to creating a web-geoservice for analysis and dynamic visualization of logistics flows is proposed. A feature of the proposed approach is the use of external sources of cartographic information, which can significantly reduce the material and time costs for the design and development of web-geoservice. The paper describes methodological support, as well as stages of design and development of web-geoservice for analysis and dynamic visualization of logistic flows in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. As an example of the Arctic region, the Murmansk region, which is part of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, was chosen to test the main capabilities of the web-geoservice.

Published: August 2020

This article discusses and analyzes the emergency situations resulting the use of the natural and the liquefied gas in the northern areas. The normative and the technical documentation concerning the items of the control and the supervision in the gas facilities is analyzed here. It is concluded that in present there is no unified service which effectuates the control of the technical state of the gas equipment in the residential houses. That is why it is observed the use of the gas equipment of the high degree of the deterioration and not perfect technically. The equipment is missing of the systems of the control of the gas leaks and of the gas contamination in the room, there is no of the automatic shutdown of the gas supply in the emergency situations. There are a lot of violations during the use of the liquefied gas in the cylinders during the filling of the cylinders by gas. During the exploitation of the liquefied gas in the cylinders especially in non-stationary conditions in result of the not observation of the technological conditions of the safety, the decompression of the cylinders takes place and with the subsequent explosion. According to the results of the analysis of the state of the item the offers are developed concerning the increasing of the security level of the exploitation of the gas networks and of the use of the liquefied gas in the cylinders, and also of the housekeeping equipment working on gas. In the legal form, it is recommended that the functions of monitoring the state of gas equipment and networks be transferred to one organization with the rights of state supervision. Ensuring operational reliability - condition monitoring, preventive and routine repairs, replacement of equipment, it is also advisable to transfer one specialized organization. Contractual relations with these organizations must be transferred to management companies. In the technical field of safety, it is necessary to replace outdated thermal equipment with modern models with gas monitoring of gas leakage and gas burner operation. These recommendations also apply to metal cylinders for liquefied gases that need to be replaced with more reliable cylinders with a composite shell. It is necessary to diversify and improve preventive work to educate the population about safe handling of gas equipment and rules of conduct in case of emergency events with gas equipment.

Authors: Dauvalter VA , Dauvalter MV , Slukovskii ZI
Published: August 2020

Long-term monitoring studies of the chemical composition of water of Lake Komarinoe (Murmansk Region, North-West Russia) have been carried out in order to assess the quality of surface water in the territory of the development of the apatite-nepheline deposit Oleniy Ruchey. A clear reliable tendency has been revealed to increase the pH water value, mineralization, the content of basic ions, nitrate ion NO3
– in recent years, as well as a number of trace elements (Sr, Cu, Mo, F), several times higher than the maximum permissible concentrations of harmful substances for water of fishery ponds. According to the content of nutrients, the lake is characterized at the present time as eutrophic. The sharp increase in the content of compounds of the biogenic element (nitrogen) can lead to the bloom development of potentially toxic algae and cyanobacteria. Lake Umbozero, which receives water from Lake Komaninoe, is also at risk of developing water bloom processes and pollution.

Methods to improve the waste rock dumping efficiency and reclamation under the north condition
Authors: Vedrova D A , Reshetnyak S P
Published: August 2020

The mining industry adversely affects the environment. The ecosystems of the northern regions, where due to harsh climatic conditions, are particularly sensitive to this negative impact and has a low ability of local natural complexes to overgrowth. However, the current reality is that the principles of environmental protection are sacrificed to the stable economic development of the region. In such circumstances, the social responsibility of business and the promotion of rational subsoil use methods become a thing of a great importance. In accordance with the Russian Federation legislation in the field of mineral recourses use, the subsoil user undertakes in time, adjusted by the project of the mineral deposit development, to carry out the reclamation not only of the open pit itself, but also all other territories, disrupted as a result of the company’s business. Open pit mining, in the main, is associated with the need to store a large volume of waste rocks in dumps. In modern open pits, more than a third of a land allotment is occupied by waste dumps, and the cost of their reclamation has a dominant influence on the budget of restoration work in general. This study is devoted to the peculiarities of waste dumps reclamation in the North, methods of its efficiency increasing and ways of rational dumps formation, taking into account the requirements of subsequent reclamation.

Authors: Vaganov G V , Vaganov V V , Radchenko I L , Ilyina I A
Published: August 2020

The anti-icing coatings with increased hydrophobicity based on epoxy-polyester powder compositions on an aluminum surface were obtained. Modification of the polymer powder composition with a organofluorine additive leads to a sharp increase in the degree of hydrophobicity (up to the formation of a superhydrophobic coating) and the saving of high mechanical properties of the coating obtained on them. The adhesion of a superhydrophobic coating to ice and the resistance of a superhydrophobic coating layer to icing/deicing cycles were studied. The developed super-hydrophobic coating has a low ice adhesion value and long-term resistance to icing/deicing cycles.
Thermodynamic approach to assessing the productivity of phytocenoses - a way to predict their protection in a changing climate
Authors: Kvachantiradze E P
Published: August 2020

In the scientific literature, the prognostic equations of the productivity of phytocenoses have a local nature – this fact can be explained by the absence of a single unit of measure for all variables composing the equation. The result of this approach is the refusal to find one model that describes the general regularity of changes in the physiological processes of plants due to climatic changes. The productivity of phytocenoses is the result of the “soil-plant-climate” relationship. In the previous studies, the author presented a thermodynamic approach to climate analysis; a methodology has been developed for determining the volumetric heat content of soils, and the thermodynamic approach to assessing plant productivity is proved in the current study. For this purpose, the concepts of the heat content of phytomass and the heat content of the aerotope (unit of measure - kJ / kg of dry air) were introduced, and from this point of view the dependence of physiological parameters is based not on various combinations of external meteorological parameters, but on the corresponding integral indicators of the heat content of the leaf and aerotope for conditions of different density and plant height. The heat content of the phytomass was taken as the heat content of the air space bordering the lamina. Introduction of these concepts simplified the analysis of the multifactorial effect of meteorological elements on plant productivity. The capability of a thermodynamic approach to assess the productivity of phytocenoses as a result of the relationship of plants with the environment is demonstrated, as evidenced by the high degree of correlation dependence of the studied parameters. The possibility for describing the “soil-plant-climate” system in a single energy system is substantiated, provided that an assessment of the productivity of phytocenoses is introduced from the point of view of net primary productivity, measured in energy units (Joule).
International cooperation and environmental safety in the Arctic
Authors: Sboychakova A , Dolzhenkova E
Published: August 2020

Annotation. Elements of environmental safety of the Arctic at the present stage are derived from the internal and foreign policies of states. The purpose of this study is to identify the relevant issues of the present and future environmental safety of the Arctic at the international level. Due to the instability of international relations in the modern world, in view of the difficult climatic and geological conditions, this region may be headline-making. At the same time, international actors, regardless of their geographical location, consider the territory of the Arctic as a zone of national interests. The national policy of states is aimed at building up the state’s influence in the region. The dependence of modern states on the extraction and supply of energy resources also sets the national priorities to various understandings of concepts of the environmental safety in the Arctic. These and many other reasons call into question the nature and quality of environmental safety in the region.

Authors: Samarina V P , Skufina T P , Samarin A V
Published: August 2020

The analysis of rule-making process in order to reveal some features of creating of environmental institutional conditions for Arctic states has been carried out in the paper. The importance of this research is defined by the fact that environmental problems are of particular relevancy in the movement of ensuring of the Arctic states’ development. At the same time, there is no any unified international treaty concerning environmental standards of the Arctic’s economic activity or any special rules for its protection. The Arctic states jointly establish environmental standards and rules for the development of the Arctic. The authors have examined the Arctic’s legal regime in the context of international cooperation on environmental affairs. The following main problems of creating the institutional environmental conditions for the Arctic states functioning are identified: firstly, the concept of “Arctic states” in international documents refers to different groups of countries; secondly, part of the Arctic’s territories and water areas does not have clear jurisdiction and is sometimes considered as “disputed territories”; thirdly, in relation to the Arctic, the so-called “soft law”, implying the recommendatory nature of rules and norms enshrined in international treaties and not having legally binding force for the signatory states. The features of institutional environmental conditions for the functioning of the Russian Federation have been evaluated and the trends for their improvement have been determined.

Published: August 2020

In this article, the author identifies key features of the strategy of Spain in the Arctic region. It focuses on the geographical features of the Spanish Arctic policy and draws parallels in some aspects with other states with similar status (France, Italy, Poland). The author defines the research, economic and political interests of the Spanish state in the Arctic, and also defines the main achievements and results. Great emphasis is placed on the importance of the scientific presence of Spain in the polar region, which allowed the kingdom to gain access to various international associations and institutions related to the Arctic. The main ideas of this study are the desire to show the Spanish Arctic policy as a successful version of the implementation of soft power, conducted through the concept of scientific diplomacy. The second important aspect is the relationship of the Arctic research process with the European integration process and Madrid’s desire to combine the efforts of the European Union in the development and implementation of the Arctic strategy. Such actions find understanding among countries such as France, Italy and Poland.

Authors: Demidov V , Mokhorov D , Mokhorova A
Published: August 2020

The paper considers the issue of cooperation between Russia and other nations of the Arctic zone and legal regulation of the processes related to interaction between the countries in this region. The most important legal provisions of international conventions and bilateral agreements on the use of the Arctic in economic and business activities are analyzed. Methods of scientific cognition are applied to study the essential areas of legal regulation of various aspects of human life and activities in the Arctic. Important aspects of international activity in the Arctic region are studied, such as: determining territorial belonging of northern lands to one or another nation, dividing jurisdiction of individual countries according to the principles of international law and agreements made between the participants of natural resource management in the northern regions. The issues concerning division of the sea shelf between bordering countries are covered. Based on the implemented approaches, certain results were reached: collisions between various international regulatory enactments were detected, and possibilities of settling some legal aspects of activities of the countries located in the Arctic were determined. Possible options were considered for the processes related to the development of natural resources in the northern seas and territories. It was established that the activities of the countries belonging to the Arctic group can ensure positive outcomes for comprehensive development of northern territories only in case there is full cooperation based on equal rights of all the countries in this region, which calls for joint development of a system of legal acts and international agreements covering the most important aspects of the use of the advantages of the Arctic zone for further sustainable natural resource management.
Analysis and improvement of the directions of strategic regulation of the process of ensuring the security of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation
Authors: Badylevich R
Published: August 2020

Issues of strengthening the security of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) are increasingly considered today by authorities at various levels and in scientific research of leading institutions. The basis for ensuring national security is strategic planning based on long-term conceptual documents and a structured system of managerial decision-making. A special feature of the modern approach to strengthening the security of the Russian Arctic is an integrated approach that pays attention not only to such security components as military and environmental security, but also to its equally important types: strategic transport and energy security. The paper considers the content of conceptual approaches to the process of ensuring integrated security of the Arctic territories at the Federal level, analyzes the system of strategic documents for the development of the Arctic adopted in recent years. It is concluded that the state does not pay enough attention to the economic component of the complex security of the Russian Arctic. Possible ways to improve the efficiency of regulation of economic security issues in the AZRF are considered. To do this, it is proposed to make adjustments to the currently being developed Strategy for the development of the Russian Arctic until 2035; allocation of the Arctic as a separate object when adjusting the Strategy of economic security of the RF until 2030, specification of mechanisms for monitoring the level of economic security based on the addition of a set of indicators presented in the Program of socio-economic development of the AZRF.

The article is devoted the agricultural sector role in the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. Nowadays the agricultural sector is the one of the main parts of public authorities’ policy. The scope of the study is the regions fully or partially attributed to the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation according to the Presidential Decree. The results of the study show the significantly lower contribution of the agricultural sector to the socio-economic development of the Arctic regions for all indicators considered than the average level in Russia. An exception is the indicator “The turnover of agricultural enterprise in the total regional turnover”, the high value of which is achieved only thanks to the Murmansk region. Agriculture and forestry, hunting, fishing and fish farming sector play the important role of in the development of the local economy of the following old-developed regions: the Murmansk region, the Arkhangelsk region, as well as the Republic of Karelia, and the outsider the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. Fixed assets of agricultural enterprises have a high degree of equipment depreciation in the Arctic regions of the Russian Federation and should be repaired. The share of food and agricultural products in the value of imports in the Arctic zone is less than the national average. The results obtained can be applied in the development and updating the strategic documents in the agricultural sector to increase its significance in the socio-economic development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.
Management of technological modernization of production as the most important factor of labor productivity growth in the industry of the Arctic regions
Authors: Zharov V , Zharov N
Published: August 2020

It is shown that technological modernization should have a significant impact on the growth of labor productivity but this process must be effectively managed for the maximum use of available production resources. For this purpose, it is proposed to follow a new direction of economic analysis of the production system activity, namely, the investment-and-innovation analysis which allows determining the economic necessity and possibility of technological renewal for any production enterprise or industry. It was found that over previous years the intensity of technological renewal of industrial production in the Arctic regions was insufficient. As a result, the growth of labor productivity was provided mainly extensively due to the increase in the level of fixed capital per worker. Accordingly, a significant increase in capital productivity, and hence labor productivity, while reducing the material intensity of products, which allows the volume of toxic waste emissions into the environment to be diminished, can only be achieved due to the introduction of intensive technological innovations of intensive type. At the same time, the effectiveness of practical implementation of such solutions is largely influenced by the quality of the human capital used by the industry. It is shown that the successful implementation of technological modernization largely depends on the regulatory role of the state.

Authors: Moroshkina M
Published: August 2020

The development of coastal cities in the Arctic zone is characterized by a heterogeneous level. Some urban settlements have high rates of economic growth, while others have sustained stagnation. Differentiation can be caused by various reasons, one of which is location. Study of asymmetry of development of coastal cities of the Arctic zone, allows to estimate the impact of the factor geographical location on the level of economic development. In the study, the object is the coastal regions of the Arctic zone of Russia, and the subject is the process of regional heterogeneity of these territories. The heterogeneity study is based on the convergence tool. This mechanism will allow to assess the possibility of convergence of territories on certain economic and social indicators. In the study, the coefficient of variation is calculated and analysis is carried out for compliance with the conditions of σ - convergence. Rosstat’s information base served as the main source of statistical data on coastal cities in the Arctic zone. The use of convergence allowed considering the coastal cities of the Arctic zone on separate economic and social indicators: population size, average monthly nominal accrued salary, investment in fixed capital. The built models of σ - convergence have shown that the process of reducing differences in these urban settlements is either not observed or economic prerequisites are needed to bring the territories closer together.

Published: August 2020

The strategic value of the Russian Arctic is related to the concentration of hydrocarbon resources in the region that form a basis for the development of offshore oil and gas production, support the development of the national fuel and energy sector, as well as exploration of essential mineral resources, which exploration cycle involves the expansion of relevant regional infrastructure, including that of resource-producing cities that service industrial facilities. The article contains research results for the economic and social status of Arctic resource-extracting cities. It includes the evaluation of the scale of the resource-extracting cities and their place in the overall settlement system in the Russian Arctic, determines the characteristic features of the Arctic resource-extracting cities and identifies their welfare challenges. Unemployment in such cities in the Russian Arctic was demonstrated to be brought about by the functional specifics of local businesses and destructive processes attributable to the national and global recession. The negative factors that affect welfare in the Arctic resource-extracting cities in particular include the restructuring of major production facilities built under Arctic development projects and their amalgamation with vertically integrated companies. It was determined that a comprehensive social and economic policy in the resource-extracting cities in the Russian Arctic could be efficiently implemented by balancing the interests of the local community, local governments, backbone companies, as well as regional and federal authorities. The article is prepared by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, the project No.19-18-00025 “Socio-economic dynamics and forecast for the development of the Russian Arctic, taking into account geopolitical, macroeconomic, environmental, and mineral factors”.

Published: August 2020

Despite the existence of a developed regulatory framework that enshrines the legal status of the Arctic spaces in the Russian Federation and other Arctic countries, the law enforcement practices of states, there are a number of problems that appear in the process of exercising the rights to research and use natural resources and recognizing state sovereignty on land and water space, including ice, in the Arctic space. One of the factors creating, including changes in living space for the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples of the Arctics region, is the interest of companies and the state in the development of Arctics resources.The combination of conditions such as an increase in the geopolitical and economic interests of states in the development of the Arctics resources, the presence of problems of increasing ensuring the sustainable development of the Arctics region leads to the need to develop a unified systemic codified act fixing the mechanisms for exercising rights to use the Arctics territories and assigning responsibility to the state and its structures to ensure preservation of the natural uniqueness of the region. Harmonized legal regulation is based, in particular, on the propositions of the UN Convention on the law of the sea of 1982 [1], including judicial practice and laws of the Arctic countries, as well as international and national laws on representatives of indigenous peoples of the Arctic [2], [3]. Arctic States have a special responsibility, including for ensuring the rights of indigenous peoples of the Arctics territories [4]. The development of Arctics area resources by resource-producing companies, on the one hand, is a factor that develops the economy of regions with a small population density and a small infrastructure, and on the other hand, creates threats to the unique ecosystem and, accordingly, affects the life and traditional way of managing the indigenous Arctics population. In a single balanced legal act, the rights of indigenous peoples of the Arctics should be given considerable attention. The need to secure political, economic and social rights, balance the interests of the state, the indigenous peoples of the Arctic, and effective economic activity of the Federal subjects and local self-government bodies, and production resource companies requires the development of a unified coordinated approach to the legal regulation of relations in the Arctics space.
New Doctrine of Food Security in Russia: Forecast for its Implementation in the Fisheries
Authors: Vasiliev A M
Published: August 2020

An analysis of the implementation of the Doctrine of Food Security of the Russian Federation until 2020 in the field of fisheries is carried out. It was found that the actual consumption of fish in whole form from Russian sources on average for the period under review amounted to about 60% of the threshold value of 17.6 kg. The economic availability of fish products on average in Russia decreased by 14.4%. It was revealed that at the same time, the population began to buy more cheap breeds of fish in their unfinished form. Thus, the quality of fish consumption has also decreased. It was established that the main reasons for the decrease in fish consumption and its economic accessibility to the population were a decrease in the ruble exchange rate against the US dollar, an increase in fish exports and a reduction in its supply to the domestic market. Currently, fishery has 2 conflicting tasks: firstly, to ensure the consumption of fish by the population in the amount of 18.7 kg at the expense of Russian sources and, therefore, to limit the export of fish. Secondly, to increase export revenue by 1.5 times by 2024 (from 5.174 billion US dollars to 8 billion US dollars).Fishing organizations are interested in increasing fish exports and it is unlikely that Rosrybolovstvo will limit it. At the same time, reserves for increasing the value of exports due to the deepening of fish cutting are insignificant. It follows that the new Doctrine, as well as the previous one, will not be fulfilled.

Published: August 2020

The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Solovetsky monastery, founded in the second quarter of the XV century, made a great contribution to the colonization of the Russian North. The article is devoted to the analysis of everyday life of this Northern monastery in the pre-revolutionary period of its history. The founder of the Solovetsky monastery, the monk Zosima, was its Abbot for 26 years (1452-1478). During this period, he drew up the Charter of the monastery and established a hostel in it, which provided for undivided property and a common household, the same food and clothing for all monks, as well as the distribution of monastic works among the entire brotherhood. The manuscript of the monastery’s Charter, compiled by Zosima, was kept in the monastery until the beginning of the last century. Being brief in its content, this Charter was essentially reduced to the following regulations: all priests and ordinary monks do not have their own special income, but receive clothes and shoes from the Treasury of the monastery, gather for a common meal and eat a common meal. In addition to these rules, oral covenants were preserved, established, according to legend, by the founder of the monastery: Zosima bequeathed not to keep cattle in the monastery itself. The main occupation of novices and ordinary monks in addition to participation in worship was hard physical labor in the vast economy of the monastery. The monastic authorities, represented by the Abbot and the “Cathedral elders”, tried to keep and strictly follow the Statute of the monk Zosima, as the most important condition of the” spiritual fortress [[CHECK_DOUBLEQUOT_ENT]] of novices and monks. Revived in 1990 after a 70-year hiatus, the monastery, which is under the direct supervision of the Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, bases its internal order of life on the community Charter reserved by its founder.

The article presents new tourism resources in the Arctic: stone structures, natural sculptures and objects of mixed natural and man-made origin. In the process of research of stone objects of the Arctic, the authors used standard geographical approaches and methods (adapted in physical and social geography), which ensure the identification of the relationship of stone objects with the landscape-geographical and socio-cultural environment, allow us to determine their rational functions in the geo-cultural sphere in the past and present. As a result of the research, the authors made a number of conclusions. Firstly, for the development of tourism in the Arctic region, large anthropomorphic, zoomorphic and objects of various geometric shapes that are very attractive for travelers should be included in organized routes. Many of them are available for observation as they stand out well in the landscape and are located on traditional and relevant to our time water-drag routes: on watersheds, along river valleys and seacoasts. Ancient legends and customs of the indigenous peoples of the North are often associated with such objects. Many of them are well oriented on the sides of the horizon, which allows you to use them as a sundial-calendar. Secondly, the rational use, conservation and expansion of tourism resources should be accompanied by the organization of integrated research on a geographical basis. Thirdly, solving the problem of genesis in ancient stone objects of the Arctic will make it possible to clarify modern models of geomorphological processes, reconstruction of the development of nature and culture, which will contribute to the successful development of the territory in the context of global warming.

This article explores the work of the contemporary artist Gennady Stepanovich Raishev and shows the features of the formation of that picture of the world that the artist broadcasts in his original works filled with vivid images of the Russian North. An analysis of the origins of Raishev’s creative project points to many factors of life that are important for his becoming an artist: family, unique northern nature, Russian culture, in which the spiritual energy of the “genius of the place” is combined with Russian collective culture. Particular attention is drawn to the great cultural significance for the spiritual life of the peoples of Russia of the unique project of the Soviet government to create a new, socialist type of culture, involving the numerous peoples of the North with powerful traditions in united cultural space and a very special world outlook and way of life. It led to the creation of the Institute of the Peoples of the North, among the graduates of which were outstanding scientists, teachers, writers, artists which were representatives of the northern peoples of Russia. Among them was G. Raishev. The characteristic features of the foundations of the artistic expression of G. Raishev are highlighted and described. First of all, this is about the mythology, expressed in building a special relationship between artistic images and surrounding reality, which by no means involves reflection or copying. Raishev’s images are primary, they are born there and now thanks to artistic intuition and intellectual foresight. Another characteristic feature is the philosophical understanding of space embodied in artistic reality. A feature of the artist’s worldview is also the construction of cosmological images that go back to archaic representations of the Khanty people and give rise to a special sense of unity of man and the world.

Allocate such components of human capital as health capital, cultural, moral, labor, intellectual, organizational and entrepreneurial, social, structural, organizational. Researchers pay most attention to the intellectual and educational side of human capital. Much less attention is paid to health potential. The authors believe that it is necessary to talk not just about health capital, but to use the broader, more comprehensive concept of “vital capital”. It includes the physiological characteristics and abilities of a person, social values, a system of knowledge and skills of a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining human health and developing vital capital depends on a rational and healthy diet. Human nutrition, especially in the extreme conditions of the Arctic and subarctic regions, should not only provide him with all the necessary nutrients, but also perform preventive and therapeutic functions. In the northern regions, daily energy costs increase to 3300-4000 kcal; in the diet, the proportion of fats and proteins increases and the amount of carbohydrates decreases. The population of the northern regions is deficient in certain vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and biologically active substances. Therefore, when compiling rations, it is necessary to include plant foods and the use of enriched and specialized foods. The staff of the Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Production of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have developed formulations and technologies for specialized and functional products, which can also be recommended for nutrition of people living in the northern regions. This is a culinary product using spelled grain, optimized for protein content and amino acid composition; flour products based on millet flour and flour from germinated millet grain, which have high biological value; cookies based on pumpkin seed flour, high in minerals; flour confectionery from oat flour with a high content of non-starch polysaccharides, dietary fiber and phenolic compounds; as well as frozen universal vegetable semi-finished products for the production of soups with a high content of antioxidants.
