About the Project
This large, ongoing community-based research project collaborates with 6 Indigenous communities in four regions of the Northwest Territories to examine food security and climate change within four cross-cutting themes: Traditional Knowledge, governance, youth, and sex and gender. It aims to understand the potential of local actions, how to scale-out and scale-up learning, and seeks to promote community action and self-determination of local food systems.
