Yukon Anti-Poverty – Poverty Alleviation in the Yukon: Basic Income and Food Security

The proposed project focuses on addressing poverty in the Yukon through innovative approaches in basic income and food security. The first project deliverable is a comprehensive paper on basic income, outlining potential pathways for its implementation in the Yukon. By engaging in socioeconomic and policy research, the paper aims to contribute to policy decisions around poverty reduction. The second deliverable addresses food security by developing a food systems data hub for Yukon communities. This tool will track key indicators of food security, aiming to improve access to nutritious and affordable food. The expected benefits for YAPC are concrete, data-driven insights and recommendations that can inform policy-making and program development, contributing to the organisation’s mission of eliminating poverty in Yukon.
