Hunters and researchers help combat food insecurity, inflation in Iqaluit

Share! :D

If you thought food prices were sky-high in your hometown, try living in Canada's North: the city of Iqaluit is used to seeing food prices two or even three times the national average.

The northernmost city is inaccessible by road from the south and its short growing season means food and supplies often have to be flown in. Costs are also getting worse as inflation afflicts the rest of the country. Now Inuit groups there are banding together to fight food insecurity.

Jeff Semple reports from Iqaluit, where hunters and researchers are helping a city hungry for a solution.
