Abstract

The article is based on field materials collected by the authors in the Taimyr Dolgano-Nenets municipal district of the Krasnoiarskii krai in 2021. The authors examine everyday strategies and practices for supplying food to remote villages in central part of the Taimyr Peninsula. Cooperation and pendulum mobility play an important role in the life of local people. Food resources are not concentrated in one place, but are scattered unevenly across the landscape. Together, people fill supply gaps and maintain food autonomy in the remote settlements. The active actions of local people play the most important role in supply practices what allow them to create their own infrastructure in the locations where the multiple shortages take place
