“More effective initiatives to address food insecurity in Canada’s North are urgently needed”
Food insecurity in Nunavut grew worse following the introduction of Nutrition North Canada, according to new research published today in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.
“Food insecurity was a pervasive problem in Nunavut before Nutrition North Canada, but it has become even more prevalent since the program was implemented,” the study states.
“Given the important health consequences of food insecurity, more effective initiatives to address food insecurity in Canada’s North are urgently needed.”
