| dc.description.abstract | Colonial food systems continue to disrupt many people’s relationships with food, land, and each other. Haida Gwaii’s food system is heavily dependent on a ferry to import grocery store products, which is vulnerable to shutdowns and delays due to weather, climate crisis-related events, pandemics, and staff shortages. Prices in stores are very high, and processed food is sometimes the most available option for families. But there is incredible energy around building food independence on Haida Gwaii, and in deepening people’s capacity to feed themselves. Haida people are leaders in the movement towards food sovereignty, and share wisdom about land cultivation, harvesting, and gathering with their communities. Gardeners and growers of all stripes on Haida Gwaii also form an important part of the Islands’ food system. The Haida Gwaii Food Strategy aims to play a part in better understanding Haida Gwaii’s food system, amplifying local knowledge, identifying needs and recommendations, and highlighting pathways for the Islands’ communities to move further down the pathway of food self-reliance. | |
