Yohann Wittrant	2015	Chris Furgal	AGreenCulture: The feasibility of greenhouses to support sustainable food security in Nunavik	Current eating habits Food security Nutritional health Circumpolar agriculture Northern greenhouses Local food Sustainable community development	This project proposes to assess the applicability and feasibility of existing Canadian Arctic greenhouse and growing programs to address food security issues in the community of Kangiqsujuaq, Nunavik. Through a community-based participatory approach, it proposes to support the community’s interests in increasing access to fresh fruits and vegetables to increase their consumption through the development of a local production initiative in the future. In the process of conducting this project, in cooperation with the community, we will generate valuable information about the Kangiqsujuaq food system, including its current challenges, the community’s perceptions and desires with regards to food in their community in the future and the applicability of greenhouse or growing initiatives to address food security challenges in this context. This results of this project will be of interest to other Inuit and Arctic communities facing similar challenges and interested in local production to support health food access.	Afficher
