Food insecurity among Indigenous peoples in Canada is a significant public health issue, impacting all four pillars of food security: availability, access, utilization, and stability. A literature review identified 91 studies indicating that economic disadvantages, high food prices, lack of transportation, and climate change are major contributors to food insecurity.
