A review and assessment of the economic utilisation and potential of country food in the northern economy / Fred Weihs ... [et al.].: Z1-1991/1-41-16E-PDF
“The purpose of this study on the economic utilisation and potential of country food in the economy of northern Canada is to provide a review and analysis of information currently available on country food as a key sector of the northern economy. The first section of the paper begins with a review of information of the history and nature of the utilisation of country food by Aboriginal people in the North, and discusses the special features of the country food sector which differentiates it from other sectors of the northern economy. It then examines the extent and significance of Aboriginal participation in this sector, and the contribution of country food to the development of the economy of the North, and the relationship of this development to the broader Canadian and international economies. Section two of the study contains an assessment of the key issues which arise out of the discussions in section one, and an examination of critical barriers to development of the country food sector. This is followed by conclusions which result from the study and a summary of prospects for the continued utilisation of country food and for development based on country food in the North”--Intro., p. 1-2.
