Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK) released its Inuit Nunangat Food Security Strategy on Monday, a project years in the making. "Living through food insecurity is to be in daily crisis and trying to manage through food insecurity can lead to long-term physical and psychological trauma." The food strategy is written in two parts, with the first outlining the prevalence of food insecurity in Inuit Nunangat. The second sets out five priorities for investment and action along with objectives and actions for improving food security and supporting food sovereignty. These policies also limited Inuit self-determination in the development of the Inuit Nunangat food system, a reality that still persists today.
