Understanding the Northern Perishable-Food Supply Chain: A Scoping Review of Challenges and Drivers of Change
In northern (including Arctic) Canada, remote communities face significant challenges in accessing perishable foods that meet national food-security standards. Geographic isolation and harsh climatic conditions exacerbate issues related to the affordability, adequacy, and availability of fresh produce in these communities. This scoping review evaluates the challenges within the northern perishable food supply chain (NPFSC), examining demand and s…

Advancing a WEF nexus security index for Alaska: An informed starting point for policy making
What Gets Measured Gets Done: Challenges in Monitoring Water, Energy, and Food Security in Northern Canada
This paper describes the challenges that were encountered during the collection of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators for water (SDG 6), energy (SDG 7), and food (SDG 2) security in northern Canada. Our findings indicate only 49% of indicator data were publicly available, while 21% had to be calculated using alternative sources or methods, 18% had to be replaced with proxy indicators for which data were available, and 12% of indicators…
Understanding the Nature of Country Food Sales among First Nations in Alberta, Canada
This research was motivated by increased tensions that had arisen within First Nations communities in the Peace River region of Alberta over the selling of country foods and the belief among some that it has incentivized excessive hunting and the abandonment of food-sharing traditions. Our results indicate that rather than having deleterious ecological and social effects, country food sales are not being driven by profitability, nor are the norms…
Trends in Subsistence Research in Northern Canada: A Systematic Literature Review
In this paper we present the results from a systematic literature review of subsistence research that was conducted in northern Canada between 1950 and 2019. Our analysis identified trends in subsistence research, including the breadth of research topics, influential scholars and scholarship, and the emergence of research networks. Our results identified 245 publications authored by a multidisciplinary network of 365 scholars. Research conducted …
Conservation and Indigenous Subsistence Hunting in the Peace River Region of Canada
Scenario planning tools for mitigating industrial impacts on First Nations subsistence economies in British Columbia, Canada
The Montney Play Trend (MPT) is a 1090 km 2 region in northeast British Columbia that produces approximately one-third of western Canada’s natural gas output. In response to a proposed expansion of the MPT in 2016, the Government of British Columbia launched a Regional Strategic Environmental Assessment (RSEA) to identify the necessary conditions to achieve sustainable environmental outcomes. In this paper, we describe the methods and scenario pl…
Evaluating transdisciplinary research practices: Insights from social network analysis
Transdisciplinary researchers collaborate with diverse partners outside of academia to tackle sustainability problems. The patterns and practices of social interaction and the contextual nature of transdisciplinary research result in different performance expectations than traditional, curiosity-driven research. Documenting patterns of interaction can inform project success and affirm progress toward interim outcomes on the way to achieve sustain…
Canadian horticultural growers’ perceptions of beneficial management practices for improved on-farm water management
Understanding First Nations exposure and sensitivity to economic and ecological change in Canada
First Nations in Canada engage in a form of mixed economic production that includes the complementary integration of subsistence (eg hunting, fishing, gathering, sharing) and wage-earning sectors. The flexibility of mixed economies has long enabled First Nations to optimise the use and allocation of household assets (eg time, labour, income) during times of economic and ecological change. In this study, we relied on the disaggregation of househol…
Gender and Arctic climate change science in Canada
There is growing recognition that gender diversity within research organizations can result in innovative research outcomes. It has also been recognized that gender homogeneity can undermine the quality and breadth of the research and may allow some to cast doubt on the legitimacy of scientific findings. In this paper, we present the results of a gender-based analysis of Canada’s ArcticNet Networks Centers of Excellence. Representing Canada’s sin…
Seeking indigenous consensus on the impacts of oil sands development in Alberta, Canada
This paper presents the results of a Cultural Consensus Analysis (CCA) that was conducted to determine the degree to which Indigenous residents of the Peace and Athabasca oil sands regions of Alberta, Canada share cultural knowledge about the associated impacts of oil sands development. We found that 87% (64/75) of respondents believe that oil sands development has contaminated the Peace and Athabasca Rivers, as well as the fish in them. These re…
Towards indigenous community-led monitoring of fish in the oil sands region of Canada: Lessons at the intersection of cultural consensus and fish science
In the Oil Sands Regions of Alberta, Canada, Indigenous reassertion of rights and responsibilities has lead to a renewed leadership in monitoring the effects of industries on various environment receptors. This study, conducted with Cold Lake First Nations, Alberta (CLFN), sought to explore local concerns regarding fish consumption safety and population health in response to multiple anthropogenic stressors focusing upon oil extraction. We undert…
