RISING TO THE CHALLENGE

Lack of Local Produce
With minimal growing seasons and off-grid infrastructure, northern communities rely heavily on imported produce.

_____

While only about half of the communities north of the 50th parallel are accessible by road, others depend on costly air freight, leading to high produce prices.

Government subsidies aimed at equalizing costs often fail to address nutritional value or mitigate losses from spoiled shipments, resulting in continued cost escalation.

_____

Opportunity for Education and Local Economic Opportunity
Subsidies primarily target a select few companies, with limited impact on improving economic outcomes for local communities.
