Our Impact

overview

Nunavut is faced with a number of social issues that impact people's health and sense of belonging. Food insecurity is higher in Nunavut than anywhere else in Canada. 77.6% of Inuit over the age of 15 in Nunavut experience food insecurity. These issues all share a common root: the legacy of colonialism on Inuit society.

As food is the foundation to health, wellness, and belonging, many other social issues are connected to access to nutritious, culturally appropriate, and affordable food. It is ineffective to attempt to address food insecurity without addressing other social issues affecting Nunavummiut. Any solutions require the cooperation of everyone and must prioritize Inuit voices from a community, organization, and government level.
