Indigenous Food Systems Network

Aboriginal peoples are among the most food insecure groups in Canada, yet their perspectives and knowledge are often sidelined
in mainstream food security debates. In order to create food security for all, Aboriginal perspectives must be included in food
security research and discourse. This project demonstrates a process in which Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal partners engaged in
a culturally appropriate and respectful collaboration, assessing the challenges and barriers to traditional foods access in the urban
environment of Vancouver, BC, Canada. The findings highlight local, national, and international actions required to increase access
to traditional foods as a means of achieving food security for all people. The paper underscores the interconnectedness of local and
global food security issues and highlights challenges as well as solutions with potential to improve food security of both Aboriginal
and non-Aboriginal peoples alike.
