New data reveals that nearly 60 per cent of Quebec Inuit are grappling with food insecurity, highlighting a critical socio-economic challenge in Canada’s northern communities. This stark statistic underscores the pressing need for sustainable solutions to address food access and nutrition in these remote areas. The report highlights issues such as high food prices and limited access to fresh produce, which are exacerbating the problem. Many Inuit communities rely heavily on traditional hunting and foraging, which are increasingly threatened by climate change and other socio-political factors. With the rising cost of living and shrinking resources, the call for government intervention and community support has never been more urgent. Addressing the root causes of food insecurity among Quebec Inuit is vital to improving their quality of life and well-being. This issue not only affects physical health but also impacts social structures and cultural practices deeply embedded in Inuit life.
