Policy Brief - Inuit food security
Inuit populations in Canada have the highest rate of food insecurity of any Indigenous population in a developed country (Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, 2017). This results in a crisis of basic needs poverty. Evidence shows that empowering communities to define their own food systems (food sovereignty) is effective at combatting food insecurity. Policies that champion food sovereignty including the need for supporting infrastructure are recommended.
