The aim of the present work is to analyze the international experience of sustainable development of Northern rural areas. The obtained research results include proposals on diversification of agricultural production, creation of smart Northern rural settlements, legal solution of issues related to the territories of natural resource management, and achievement of food sovereignty. Domestic reindeer husbandry can become the basis for the development of rural areas in the Russian North. The authors offer the package plan on diversification of economic activity, based on a combination of traditional types of economic management with a plant growing (first of all, gardening), plantation berry and mushroom production, as well as with development of ecological and ethnographic tourism, production and sale of souvenir products. The conclusion is made that such diversification will allow attracting human capital, spark interest in young people, and thus ensure sustainable development of the Northern rural areas.
