About the grant
The Government of Canada's Food Security Research Grant is funding Indigenous-led projects that focus on food security and food access inequality in isolated northern communities.
This research addresses key questions and challenges with respect to food access inequality, the dynamics of existing federal food access programs and food insecurity among Indigenous Peoples living in isolated communities.
All research funded under the grant must either be directed by Indigenous stakeholders or conducted with clear partnerships between academics and Indigenous communities.
The grant will run from 2022 to 2024 and will invest $1.5 million to generate additional insight and knowledge on the effects of the Nutrition North Canada (NNC) retail subsidy and inform ongoing improvements to support equitable access to store-bought food.
