The food supply of Inuit living in Nunavut, Canada, is characterized by market food of relatively low nutritional value and nutrient-dense traditional food. The objective of this study is to assess community perceptions about the availability and accessibility of traditional and market foods in Nunavut.
A qualitative study using focus group methodology.
Focus groups were conducted in 6 communities in Nunavut in 2004 and collected information was analyzed.
Barriers to increased traditional food consumption included high costs of hunting and changes in lifestyle and cultural practices. Participants suggested that food security could be gained through increased economic support for local community hunts, freezers and education programs, as well as better access to cheaper and higher quality market food.
Interventions to improve the dietary quality of Nunavut residents are discussed.

采用焦点小组方法的定性研究。
2004年在努纳武特地区的6个社区开展了焦点小组讨论，并对收集到的信息进行了分析。
增加传统食品消费的障碍包括狩猎成本高以及生活方式和文化习俗的变化。参与者建议，通过增加对当地社区狩猎活动、冰柜和教育项目的经济支持，以及更好地获取更便宜、质量更高的市场食品，可以实现粮食安全。
讨论了改善努纳武特居民饮食质量的干预措施。
