Food security in Inuit Nunangat: From knowledge to action
This full-day event will focus on promoting and discussing food security and food sovereignty initiatives across Inuit Nunangat. Specifically, the event will:
1. Facilitate cross-regional and cross-sectoral knowledge sharing: Bring together a range of stakeholders on the topic of food security and food sovereignty in Inuit Nunangat.
2. Review the current policy and program landscape: Identify points of progress and areas where action is needed and facilitate networking and knowledge transfer.
3. Explore emerging issues relating to food security: Topics may include post-pandemic cost of living and food affordability, climate change, monitoring of food security, food security programming, and funding
The format of this event will be a combination of presentations and open and break-out discussions. We will hear from regional representatives working on food security initiatives across Inuit Nunangat and learn from food security champions who are working on innovative food security programming across the north. We will prioritize the attendance of community delegates, and especially food security/sovereignty/harvesting experts and champions, who will share and learn from initiatives happening across Inuit Nunangat.
