This project works with First Nations, non-profit organizations and small business to better understand and map the connections between fisheries and local food systems. Using a participatory action research methodology, it uses food systems as a lens to broaden the scope of fisheries by integrating a range of interdependent dimensions (including geographical, political, economic, policy, food security and nutrition, sustainability) that interact around sustainable fisheries. Our findings bring attention to the larger sets of actors and voices that are essential to the future of sustainable fisheries and most marginalized within existing approaches, including those of Indigenous peoples, civil society, and social movements.
