| Popis: | Background: Because of a lack of transportation infra structure, Old Crow has the highest food costs and greatest reliance on traditional food species for sustenance of any community in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Environmental, cultural, and economic change are driving increased perception of food insecurity in Old Crow. Objectives: To address community concerns regarding food security and supply in Old Crow and develop adaptation strategies to ameliorate their impact on the community. Methods: A community adaptation workshop was held on October 13, 2009, in which representatives of different stake holders in the community discussed a variety of food security issues facing Old Crow and how they could be dealt with. Workshop data were analyzed using keyword, subject, and narrative analysis techniques to determine community priorities in food security and adaptation. Results: Community concern is high and favored adaptation options include agriculture, improved food storage, and conservation through increased traditional education. These results were presented to the community for review and revision, after which the Vuntut Gwitchin Government will integrate them into its ongoing adaptation planning measures. |
