Idk, from a nutrients/chemical standpoint probably? The issue is that there's like an inch of two of it over bedrock, instead of feet worth of good topsoil. There just isn't enough of it to grow food on the scale we do now with current methods. Not to say any of that is technically impossible, just that it would be a massive megaproject the likes of which humanity has rarely seen

That’s true… might happen that they pool all the permafrost earth into areas for farming. But indeed, a megaproject for the ages.

Probably the grasslands in Russia would be easier to manage. Just get a bunch of megafauna to stamp and poop around for a decade or two.
