Do you have more information on how Russia's Eastern regions are becoming more habitable? I know they have a development fund to incentive people from other regions to move and develop small businesses (especially in agriculture).
- anubisresources 10y agoThey're much better for agriculture than they used to be (though still pretty poor in Siberia). The change in productivity is wholly due to climate change. Warmer weather leads to a longer growing season, rain instead of snow, etc. A lot of this land is nutrient packed as well. Siberia could be prime growing land if it gets warm enough. Similar to Ukraine today. Saying that, there are a number of concerns about soil resilience in Siberia. If soil resilience doesn't improve, Siberia will remain very poor for agriculture.
