Food Security Governance in the Arctic-Barents Region provides a
multidisciplinary perspective on the major food security and safety
challenges faced in the Arctic region. The authors address existing
gaps in current knowledge of the coordination and implementation of
legal framework and policy that affects the Arctic. The volume is
unique in its focus on the Barents region, an area of northern
Europe containing Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The region
has a population of approximately 5.2 million, including indigenous
and non-indigenous peoples. The authors offer a balanced and
systemic review of the role of traditional foods in this region,
along with an overview of the regulatory tools and institutions
that govern food security. Food security and safety in the
-Arctic-Barents region is connected to and impacted by
transformations from both inside and outside the area. Climate
change, globalization and human activities affect the availability,
accessibility, and affordability of food. The result of these
transformations has an impact on the food security and safety for
both indigenous and non-indigenous individuals and communities. The
authors, by highlighting these challenges, reveal the importance of
having harmonized policies and legal tools in place in order to
strengthen food security and safety in the Barents region. The book
forms part of the main outcome of the Academy of Finland's ongoing
project on Human Security as a promotional tool for societal
security in the Arctic: Addressing Multiple Vulnerability to its
Population with Specific Reference to the Barents Region
(HuSArctic). Researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders
will find the book to be an important contribution to the promotion
of policies and strategies on food security.
