The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy (ACCAP) will host a
webinar titled "Making progress on food security in the North American
North: Building on 15 years of research" on Tuesday, 7 October 2014 from
10:00 to 11:00 a.m. AKDT. The webinar presenter is Phil Loring,
Assistant Professor, School of Environment and Sustainability at the
University of Saskatchewan.
Food security is a worldwide societal challenge, and one area of the
world where food insecurity is increasing is the North American Arctic
and Subarctic. In this presentation Loring reviews research on food
security in general and as it has been executed in the North over the
last 15 years. He reviews a comprehensive set of findings regarding why
people are food insecure: challenges like remoteness and climate change
play a role, but the primary drivers of food insecurity for northern
peoples continue to be governance and policy issues, issues that have
been recognized and critiqued for many decades. In light of new
challenges to the rights of indigenous peoples in the North such as
climate change and development, Loring offers suggestions for future
research and policy that focuses on place-based and rights-based
approaches to planning and development.
