Digital Governance of Nutrition and Food Security in the Arctic

Amid the accelerating digital transformation of public administration, the development of resilient mechanisms for ensuring food security and promoting health-preserving nutrition in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation is gaining particular relevance. This study aims to provide a scientific rationale for a digital nutrition management model based on the integration of intelligent technologies into the system of state social policy.The objective of the research is to develop a scientifically grounded model for digital nutrition and food security management in the Arctic under intensifying climatic, logistical, and infrastructural constraints. In the context of increasing climate instability, nutritional and cognitive deficits, digital inequality, and limited access to medical care, there is a growing need to shift from traditional food assistance to a flexible system of adaptive and intelligent population nutrition governance.The methodology combines structural-functional and comparative analysis, digital modeling, elements of behavioral diagnostics, microbiome-based approaches, and geospatial analytics. Scenario-based risk assessments, biosensor monitoring technologies, and tools for analyzing nutritional vulnerability are employed, taking into account demographic, climatic, and behavioral factors.The results include the development of an original platform-based model for digital nutrition management, integrating telemedicine solutions, intelligent algorithms for dietary assessment and adjustment, digital dietary behavior traces, biosensors, wearable devices, and domestic digital products (e.g., «1C: Planned Nutrition», and the cloud-based «Scientific Nutrition Analysis Platform» (NIAP)). A system of indicators for early detection of alimentary risks in northern and Arctic municipalities is proposed, along with innovative mechanisms for personalized nutritional support, including digital diet twins and chrono-nutritional adaptation algorithms.The conclusions affirm that digital nutrition in the Russian Arctic functions as a strategic resource for social sovereignty, adaptability, and sustainable development. Adaptive intelligent nutrition solutions enable the state to rapidly adjust social policy measures in response to regional challenges, prevent dietary deficiencies, and contribute to achieving the goals of national projects in demographics, healthcare, and digital transformation.Â
