Annotation The attention is drawn to the undeservedly “neglected” geography of consumption as a branch of scientific knowledge. It is emphasized that the basis for attributing the problems of consumption to the sphere of human geography is the territorial system, which is manifested in the formation of the specific systems of production and consumption. The essence of such systems is proposed to consider in conjunction with existing approaches to the typology of consumption. Among the existing regional systems of consumption of particular interest to geographers there is a system of food consumption due to the existence of correlations with land resources. The conclusion is made that in the conditions of market economy the centre of gravity of regional studies largely move on questions of consumption. This circumstance is connected with a Federal status of Russia, the abundance of subjects of Federation, which strongly differ between natural, historical, economic, social and cultural and other conditions of development
Key words needs, territorial systems, types of consumption, correlation relationship, food consumption, specifics of the territorial consumption systems
