Motivations driving settler food movement organizations in Canada to engage with Indigenous peoples
Food systems, in terms of the processes, structures, and relationships that bring food to our plates, are deeply embedded in historical and ongoing processes of colonialism. In settler colonial countries, this reality is contributing to growing attention to and engagement with Indigenous peoples and communities in food systems scholarship and practice. This paper asks: what motivates settler-led food movement organizations to engage in relationsh…
Strengthening democratic governance in times of crisis: Lessons from the Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council
Democracy, including processes that govern food systems, are under threat of erosion. Contextualizing and articulating governance challenges is an essential first step. However, it is valuable to look to practices that provide more meaningful ways of engaging non-state actors in government processes. In this commentary, we look at the establishment and activities of the Canadian Food Policy Advisory Council (the Council) which has been “learning-…
Exploring settler-Indigenous engagement in food systems governance
Within food systems governance spaces, civil society organizations (CSOs) play important roles in addressing power structures and shaping decisions. In Canada, CSO food systems actors increasingly understand the importance of building relationships among settler and Indigenous peoples in their work. Efforts to make food systems more sustainable and just necessarily mean confronting the realities that most of what is known as Canada is unceded Ind…

Integrative Governance for Ecological Public Health: An Analysis of ‘Food Policy for Canada’ (2015-2019)
Normatively grounded in the ecological public health paradigm, this paper speaks to the role of public policy in addressing food and nutrition-related health challenges through a critical analysis of the 2019 Food Policy for Canada (FPC). We draw on primary data gathered through a SSHRC-funded Partnership Grant, Food: Locally Embedded, Globally Engaged (FLEdGE). Qualitative research methods include interviews with key stakeholders and policy make…

Canada’s ecological political economy and the climate crisis: An interview with Dr. Laurie Adkin
Dr. Laurie Adkin is one of Canada’s pre-eminent environmental political theorists. In this wide-ranging interview, she draws connections across the political, economic, and personal challenges involved in taking on a capitalist political economy bent on the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources in the face of climate destabilization. Adkin discusses why it is important for concerned researchers and citizens to continue to speak out abou…
Strengthening Sustainable Northern Food Systems: Federal Policy Constraints and Potential Opportunities
This paper explores how Canadian federal policy and frameworks can better support community-based initiatives to reduce food insecurity and build sustainable food systems in the North. Through an examination of the current state of food systems infrastructure, transportation, harvest, and production in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Nunavik, and Nunatsiavut, we argue in favour of a multi-sector approach that supports diversified food …

Putting Food Sovereignty to Work: Civil Society Governmentalities and Canada’s People’s Food Policy Project (2008–2011)
The People’s Food Policy Project (PFPP) used ‘food sovereignty’ to unite civil society organizations and build a national food policy agenda in Canada from 2008 to 2011. Agri-food scholarship largely highlights the resistance and empowerment dynamic of food sovereignty in the context of neoliberal capital relations. We propose that the story of what food sovereignty discourse does, or could do, in the work of civil society organizations (CSOs), i…

Building Unlikely Alliances Around Food Sovereignty in Canada
The article by Peter Andree, Miranda Cobb, Leanne Moussa, and Emily Norgang, “Building Unlikely Alliances Around Food Sovereignty in Canada,” is concerned with the efforts of the People’s Food Policy Project (PFPP) to influence food policy and to build a counterhegemonic food sovereignty movement. In an empirically rich and provocative set of case studies, the authors argue against an overly sharp distinction between hegemonic and counterhegemoni…
Civil society and the political economy of GMO failures in Canada: A neo-Gramscian analysis
Despite the government of Canada's close relationship with the biotechnology industry, critical social movement organisations have had a significant impact on the adoption of genetically modified organisms in that country. Two cases of products rejected after widespread resistance – recombinant bovine growth hormone (1999) and herbicide-tolerant Roundup Ready (RR) Wheat (2004) – are revisited. Informed by empirical research that brings to light n…
Competitive Productivism and Australia's Emerging ‘Alternative’ Agri-food Networks: Producing for farmers' markets in Victoria and beyond
This paper advances the theoretical argument for moving beyond the conventional/alternative divide in the analysis of emerging ‘alternative’ agri-food networks (AAFNs). In order to understand how ‘place’, ‘nature’ and ‘quality’-based food networks emerge and develop, we argue that careful attention needs to be paid to the way in which specific political-economic environments shape the options available to farmers and consumers. Australia's ‘compe…
Business and Environmental Politics in Canada
Business and Environmental Politics in Canada, Douglas MacDonald, Peterborough ON: Broadview Press, 2007, pp. xi, 224.Whether because of Al Gore, increasingly stern warnings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change or the strange weather of late, this past year has seen political actors of all stripes—business leaders prominent among them—restate their commitment to the environment. MacDonald's new book is thus a timely contribution, of…
The Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety and Shifts in the Discourse of Precaution
The precautionary principle is increasingly recognized as an important tool in multilateral environmental policy making, even as its practical implications remain the subject of intense debate. Drawing on Foucault's reading of discursive politics, this paper traces the emergence and effects of a specific framing of a precautionary response to new technologies found in the 2000 Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety to the Convention on Biological Divers…
