ИСТИНА

The most of Russia territory (Siberia and Russian Far East) considered as a high-risk agriculture zone where agriculture is limited with permafrost and insufficient growing degree days. This part of country is populated by more than 30 different ethnic groups of indigenous people. The general trend is the revival of the traditional forms of nature usage and methods of farming, the influx of population to the agricultural areas and the associated trends of the native population increasing, which now includes as a rule three generations. World experience shows that agriculture is one of the most labor-intensive sectors of the economy, and without the financial support of the state is doomed to extinction. The land cover changes are connected with political, economic and social system transformation in Russia, as well as with deep historical roots, which determine the depth of the character of the ethno-social processes in the different groups of the indigenous peoples. Currently there are experience to combine traditional land use with modern technology and economy (usage of non-timber forest products, green economy, ethnic tourism).
