Aboriginal food security in Canada
The 1996 World Food Summit stated that food security "exists when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life" For many Aboriginal communities in Canada there is an issue with one or more of aspects of food security.〔Power, Elaine M., “Conceptualizing Food Security For Aboriginal People in Canada.Canadian Journal of Public Health. March–April 2008: pg. 95-97〕 There are many factors that influence food security such as location, level of income, and the climate.〔Furgal, Christopher, and Seguin, Jacinthe. "(Climate Change, Health, and Vulnerability in Canadian Northern Aboriginal Communities )." Environment Health Perspective. Dec 2006: 114(12) pg. 1964-1970〕〔Abraham, Rwanda, Chambers, Lori, Fiddler, Teri, Socha, Teresa, Zahaf, Mehdi. “(Food Security in a Northern First Nations Community: An Exploratory Study on Food Availability and Accessibility ).” Journal of Aboriginal Health. March 2002: pg. 5-14.〕
== Socioeconomic factors and prevalence ==
Aboriginal peoples are at a higher risk than non-Aboriginal peoples to experience food insecurity. Aboriginal people have approximately double the chances of a non-Aboriginal person to experience some aspect of food insecurity in their lifetime.〔 Food insecurity is directly linked to being in a low income household.〔 Aboriginal people on average experience lower socioeconomic status than non-Aboriginal peoples. Since there is no program to incentivise healthy foods in Canada, there is a greater incentive for Aboriginals to purchase processed foods, that can lead to serious health problems. Foods purchased in grocery stores have become increasingly important to all people but even more so to remote Aboriginal communities. The price of foods in grocery stores is also a focal point in food insecurity for Aboriginal peoples. In one community it was the consensus that the price of market foods in a northern community are very high and that there needs to be government implemented policies that will help lower the cost of food in more remote locations.〔 The prevalence of food insecurity is also higher in Inuit households with as much as 80% of families experiencing food insecurity.〔Beaumier, Maude, Ford, James D. "(Feeding the Family During Times of Stress: Experience and determinants of food insecurity in an Inuit community )." The Geographical Journal. March 2011: 177(1) pg. 44-61.〕 The high cost of food for Inuit families is also a large concern. In a study conducted it was found that a basket of food for a family of four in Igloolik was $551 and the cost of for the same amount of food for a family in Montreal was $238.〔
