Abstract: The circumpolar region of Canada experiences high rates of food insecurity due to the harsh climate and terrain and limited infrastructural capacity restricting local production and environmental changes impacting traditional food systems. As such, the region heavily relies on imported commodities which are expensive and of low nutritional quality. Agricultural development has the potential to mitigate circumpolar food insecurity and is underway to various degrees throughout the region, forming a complex and emerging agricultural system.
