Adaptation of Russian Agriculture to Climate Change: Policy Objectives and Main Problems

Abstract—: The article discusses the state policy of ensuring the adaptation of Russian agriculture to climate change, provides an overview of the main trends and problems in the development of the irrigation complex, agricultural insurance, interventions in the domestic grain market. The influence of technological and spatial shifts in the structure of agricultural production on the dynamics of grain harvest is assessed, the relationship of these shifts with changes in agro-climatic conditions is described. It is noted that the main risks for the agro-food system associated with increased climate contrast are realized not only in a situation of crop losses due to climate disasters, but also in a situation of growing yields (in favorable weather conditions) while maintaining an undeveloped system for regulating domestic agricultural markets. © 2023, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
