This book explores the challenges facing food security,
sustainability, sovereignty, and supply chains in the Arctic, with
a specific focus on Indigenous Peoples. Offering multidisciplinary
insights and with a particular focus on populations in the European
High North region, the book highlights the importance of accessible
and sustainable traditional foods for the dietary needs of local
and Indigenous Peoples. It focuses on foods and natural products
that are unique to this region and considers how they play a
significant role towards food security and sovereignty. The book
captures the tremendous complexity facing populations here as they
strive to maintain sustainable food systems - both subsistent and
commercial - and regain sovereignty over traditional food
production policies. A range of issues are explored including food
contamination risks, due to increasing human activities in the
region, such as mining, to changing livelihoods and gender roles in
the maintenance of traditional food security and sovereignty. The
book also considers processing methods that combine indigenous and
traditional knowledge to convert the traditional foods, that are
harvested and hunted, into local foods. This book offers a broader
understanding of food security and sovereignty and will be of
interest to academics, scholars and policy makers working in food
studies; geography and environmental studies; agricultural studies;
sociology; anthropology; political science; health studies and
biology.
