Rethinking the feminization of agriculture through translocality
Male out-migration from rural areas shifts intra-household relations, with consequences for gendered power dynamics. Left behind women in rural migrant-sending communities are assumed to take on greater roles in agricultural production, a process known as the feminization of agriculture. As migrants and non-migrants become more closely linked through socio-spatial interconnections that transcend place, there is a need to understand how and why th…
Navigating weight change during and after pregnancy among Chinese immigrant mothers in Canada
BACKGROUND: Chinese immigrant mothers in Canada may face unique challenges navigating weight change during and after pregnancy due to cultural expectations, migration related barriers, and limited access to culturally appropriate prenatal care. Although gestational weight gain and postpartum weight retention are important indicators of maternal health, little is known about how immigrant women experience and manage these changes within the Canadi…
A system dynamics approach for examining the health implications of male out-migration on non-migrating household members in the Western Highlands of Guatemala
The departure of men and boys from rural communities significantly affects the lives of those "left behind". Drawing on qualitative data from a rural community in the Western Highlands of Guatemala and guided by a systems thinking approach, the objectives of this study were: 1) to examine the multifaceted health determinants, risks, outcomes, and impacts associated with male out-migration for non-migrating household members; and 2) to apply a cau…
What can feminist relational discourse analysis offer the field of drug policy
Prohibitionary drug policy continues to be used as a tool for facilitating colonial power and the social regulation of people who use drugs, especially racialized and Indigenous peoples, women and gender diverse peoples, and those of lower socio-economic status. Some drug policy research aims to illuminate the experiences of people who use drugs with hopes of eliciting change; however, there is a history of research that has had negative effects …
Dietary Acculturation and the Nutritional Health and Well-Being of Sub-Saharan African Immigrants Living in Higher-Income Countries
Nurturing roots
Indigenous Communities worldwide stress the vital role of Land in their health and identity. Colonisation has intentionally disrupted this connection; however, Indigenous Communities are reclaiming and reviving their cultures by resisting colonial influences and enacting Indigenous methodologies and pedagogies. This scoping review aimed to understand the ways in which Land-based healing is conducted and understood globally by Indigenous Communiti…
Canadian dietetic education and training actions to support Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation
This study established a baseline record of Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation activities in Canadian dietetic education and training programs that can inform future work. Programs are encouraged to (1) evaluate current and future activities; (2) ensure activities are part of a comprehensive approach to Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation, rooted in Indigenous, social justice, and health equity principles; and (3) c…
Lessons from an evaluation of an urban Indigenous food sharing initiative in Southwestern Ontario
As an important community food support, the Food Share's relational care approach fosters a meaningful and wholistic sense of nourishment for Indigenous community members in the Waterloo-Wellington Region
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and Indigenous Peoples’ health and wellbeing
Indigenous Peoples worldwide are experiencing a cascade of impacts on their health and wellbeing as a result of climate change and biodiversity loss. Existing literature at the interface of climate change, biodiversity loss, and Indigenous health tells us that Indigenous Peoples are among those most disproportionately and acutely affected by these impacts. Yet, a gap exists with respect to comprehensively and critically synthesizing the impacts r…
Planting the Seed
This evaluation work is grounded in the Northern Door: Be on a Good Journey, where the authors share their process for cultivating a place-based program theory for urban Indigenous land-based initiatives in the Waterloo Region, Ontario. This process was an essential first step to an ongoing evaluation project assessing the implementation and early outcomes of two programs for Indigenous children and youth. The authors embarked on this journey rec…
Conceptualising the relationships between food sovereignty, food security and oral health among global Indigenous Communities
Objective: Invasive colonial influences and continuing neoliberal policies have a detrimental impact on Land, health, food and culture for Indigenous Communities. Food security and sovereignty have significant impacts on Indigenous well-being and, specifically, oral health. Aspects relating to food security, such as availability of nutritious foods, are a common risk factor of oral diseases. This scoping review aimed to collate existing evidence …
Caring in crisis
To respond to the unintended consequences of prevention measures to reduce COVID-19 transmission, individuals and groups, including religious leaders, have collaborated to provide care to those negatively impacted by these measures. Amid these various efforts and interventions, there is a need to deepen our understanding of diverse expressions of care across various geographical and social contexts. To address this need, the objective of this stu…
We Need to Live off the Land”
Although Indigenous food systems are sustainable in nature, many of these systems have been forcibly altered among Indigenous communities within Canada, as a consequence of colonization. Indigenous Food Sovereignty (IFS) movements work to counteract the dismantling of Indigenous food systems as well as the negative health impacts of environmental dispossession experienced by Indigenous communities. Through community-based participatory research m…
Where Creator Has My Feet, There I Will Be Responsible”
There is a growing emergence of Indigenous Food Sovereignty (IFS) initiatives across urban centers within many regions of Canada. Urban Indigenous communities are leading these efforts to revitalize Indigenous foods and agricultural practices while promoting food security and increasing Land-based connections within cities. However, the socio-ecological environments within these urban contexts affect IFS initiatives in unique ways which have not …
An Intersectionality-Based Policy Analysis Examining the Complexities of Access to Wild Game and Fish for Urban Indigenous Women in Northwestern Ontario
The destruction of Indigenous food systems is a direct consequence of the settler-colonial project within Canada and has led to decreasing access to Indigenous foods, disproportionate rates of food insecurity and disconnection from Indigenous food systems and environments. We interviewed Indigenous women, non-Indigenous staff of Indigenous-serving organizations, and policymakers (i.e., those who develop, interpret, or implement wild food policy) …
The evolution of Haudenosaunee food guidance
The emerging literature on the Indigenous food movement identifies community involvement, family-centred food education and re-establishing a relationship with the land as essential to restoring sustainable food systems, land and water access. These processes of reclamation have similarly evolved through collaborative community processes and guiding practices described in this chapter that have taken place in the community of Six Nations of the G…
Exploring the environmental determinants of food choice among Haudenosaunee female youth
Overall, the study findings have generated important knowledge regarding food environments and literacy and serves as a unique example of how to explore the traditional and everyday food experiences of Indigenous youth. Recommendations will inform the development of new as well as existing initiatives and resources to enhance the holistic wellbeing of youth and the broader community
Maternal health literacy and health numeracy conceptualizations in public health
Despite unprecedented advancement in educational opportunities and access to information, maternal health literacy (MHL) and health numeracy (HN) skills remain low in North America. By enhancing MHL, the educated civic public-those who have the capacity, skills, and knowledge to apply prose and numerical health information-engages more proactively in public health practice. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the existing empirical evid…
Non-Indigenous partner perspectives on Indigenous peoples' involvement in renewable energy
Purpose This research considers the potential for renewable energy partnerships to contribute to Canada's efforts to overcome its colonial past and present by developing an understanding of how non-Indigenous peoples working in the sector relate to their Indigenous partners. Design/methodology/approach This study is part of a larger research program focused on decolonization and reconciliation in the renewable energy sector. This exploratory rese…
Implementing Indigenous Gender-Based Analysis in Research
Numerous tools for addressing gender inequality in governmental policies, programs, and research have emerged across the globe. Unfortunately, such tools have largely failed to account for the impacts of colonialism on Indigenous Peoples' lives and lands. In Canada, Indigenous organizations have advanced gender-based analysis frameworks that are culturally-grounded and situate the understanding of gender identities, roles, and responsibilities wi…
Supporting food security for Indigenous families through the restoration of Indigenous foodways
Indigenous families are overrepresented among those within Canada who experience food insecurity. Studies have largely focused on northern populations, with less attention paid to southern and urban communities, including the social, cultural, and geographic processes that challenge food security. In this study, we present findings from a decade‐long community‐based study with the Southwest Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre (London, Ontario…
Exploring the Perceptions of and Experiences with Traditional Foods among First Nations Female Youth
Traditional foods contribute to the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples. Many Indigenous Peoples within Canada have expressed a desire to consume more traditional foods; however, there are a number of barriers to doing so. Southern and urban communities face unique challenges associated with traditional food consumption. To address these concerns and build on community interests in a Haudenosaunee community in Southern Ontario, a particip…
Automated pastures and the digital divide
A “digital revolution” in agriculture is underway. Advanced technologies like sensors, artificial intelligence, and robotics are increasingly being promoted as a means to increase food production efficiency while minimizing resource use. In the process, agricultural digitalization raises critical social questions about the implications for diverse agricultural labourers and rural spaces as digitalization evolves. In this paper, we use literature …
Impacts of place and social spaces on traditional food systems in southwestern Ontario
Processes of environmental dispossession have had dramatic consequences for dietary quality, cultural identity, and the integrity of traditional food systems (TFS) in many Indigenous populations. These transitions have not been documented among First Nation people in southwestern Ontario, and virtually no studies have investigated TFS in southern or urban regions of Canada. Nested within a larger community-centred project designed to better under…
