Three points exemplify the matter: (1) None of the 25 communities are connected by road to each other, hence, they rely mainly on air-transportation for food which is flown, on average, 2000 km (Canada, 2018); (2) Approximately half (50.8%) of households in Nunavut are identified as food insecure (Statistics Canada, 2017); (3) Food prices in Nunavut are, on average, 2.2 times as expensive as anywhere else in Canada" (Naylor, Deaton, and Ker, 2020)
