Settler-Indigenous Alliances in Food Governance Processes in Canada and Australia

Current approaches to food policy and governance have resulted in a range of social, environmental and economic problems, including inequity and food insecurity among Indigenous people. Projects in Canada and Australia have shown promising approaches to achieving more sustainable food systems, a central piece being constructing meaningful relationships between settler and Indigenous peoples. Building on a research project linking Canada and Australia, this project will look at relationships between Indigenous and settler people in the food movements in each country. This work will help inform growing international research collaborations as well as respective civil society organizations at a time when both countries are moving towards national food policies.
