Full textCette thèse regard l'impact des changements environmentales sur la récolte des aliments traditionnels et characterise l'implication de ses changements sur la diète des membres de la communauté. Une combinaison de méthode quantitative et qualitative ont été utilisé pour documenter et estimer la séquence de la récolte des animaux clées locales. En général, les résultats entre la nourriture disponible estimé provennant de la récolte et le montant estimé pour la consumption alimentaire n'étaient pas égaux, parcontre, la ratio entre aurignal et poisson blanc étaient bonne. La relation entre les résultats numériques concernent la récolte et la consumption alimentaire sont complèxes et requièrent deux coordonnées d'informations numériques completes. Si cela existe, il serait possible de prédir la consumption des aliments traditionalles provenant de la récolte. Les résultats qualitatifs dénoncent des changements climatiques affectant la récolte des aliments traditionnels et alterent la façon dont les membres de la communauté font leur récolte pour adapter à ces changements climatiques.

Full textBackground. Food insecurity affects 11% of households in Québec. This problem is partially relieved by community food programs and food pantry assistance. These food security community organizations (FSCOs) operate with insufficient and unstable human, financial and material resources. To adjust supply with increasing demand, they must limit either: the number of households served, the quantity of the food offered or the quality of the assistance. In the face of these constraints, are FPs effectively accomplishing their mission? No model assessing FPs’ organizational effectiveness (OE) exists. Many ways of doing so exists, yet only a few studies in urban settings have documented FSCOs operations. Objective. This exploratory study aims to propose a model that associates capacities with measures of OE, defined by a multidimensional approach. This study also aims to compare operations of FSCOs located in four Quebec regions. Methods. We draw on data from a preliminary phone survey of the PATHWAYS STUDY: Asking for food aid, and then?. Between November 2017 and June 2018, respondents from 141 FSCOs were surveyed to provide in-depth description of their operations. The sample included 64 FD (food donation organizations) and 77 FD+ (FD organizations that included other food capacity-building activities), located in urban (n=60), semiurban (n=43) and rural (n=38) settings. Three dimensions of FSCOs’ OE, for a total of five measures, were analyzed: service volume (annual number of households), quality of hampers (diversity and monetary value) and quality of assistance (frequency of FD and access limitations). Associations with these capacities were tested: presence of employees, online publication of strategic documents, collaboration with private food suppliers, user implication in committees, and FP settings and program type. Results. FD+ organizations seemed overall more developed without necessarily providing food to more households. For all FSCOs, when the number of households requesting assistance was lower, the quality of the offered food was higher in variety. Collaborating with private food suppliers, publishing strategic documents online, presence of employees and being located in rural settings were capacities positively associated with OE. Discussion. Beyond the number of households served, other measures of OE need to be considered to assess FSCOs. Our model provides some guidance to assess their OE and identifies best practices. More research is needed to validate our model.

Full textThe aim of this study was to verify the association between food insecurity and dietary intake of First Nations living on reservations in British-Columbia and to assess interactions of traditional food in the relationship between food insecurity and dietary intake. We analyzed data for 493 women and 356 men in 21 First Nations communities in British-Columbia using a 24h-food recall and the Health Canada adapted version of the HFSSM Food security questionnaire from the First Nations Food, Nutrition and Environment Study (FNFNES). We did not find any association between food security and total dietary intake for women and for men. However, traditional food was found to be interacting in the relationship between food security and total dietary intake for many nutrients for men and women. For First Nations women, diet quality could have a major impact in the relationship between food insecurity and dietary intakes. For men, differences in dietary behaviours could have been associated to a lack of traditional food in the worse cases of food insecurity. Moreover, interactions of traditional food in the relationship between food security and total dietary intake leave us to believe that men and women, from moderate food-insecure and food-secure households, add this kind of food to their daily intake whereas men and women from serious food-insecure households seem to replace commercial foods with traditional foods.

Full textFood insecurity (FI) is known to affect recent immigrants more than the general population of Quebec, but there are no specific data for refugees. Refugees, unlike other immigrants, fled their country for fear of persecution and did not necessarily choose to immigrate to Quebec or even to Canada. We know that the situation experienced by refugees is particularly difficult given the permanent and forced nature of their migration, but the factors affecting their food security, especially regarding cultural aspects, are little known. Since 2015, more than 60,000 Syrian refugees who fled the war have been resettled in Canada, including almost 14,000 in Quebec, making this wave the most important influx of refugees to Canada, given the number of individuals and the short delay. The purpose of this study is to understand how socio-economic, geographic and cultural factors affect the food security status of Syrian refugee households in Quebec. More specifically, the objectives are to study the impacts of the place of resettlement, the immigration category and social status, among others, on the food security of refugees resettled in Quebec, in addition to exploring the perceptions of key informants and refugees as to the barriers and factors contributing to their food security. To achieve this, semi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants (n = 9) and a cross-sectional survey including socio-demographic and food security questionnaires (Household Food Security Survey Module, HFSSM) was conducted with Syrian refugees resettled in Quebec (n = 49), in addition to semi-structured interviews with some participants (n = 34). Participants were recruited by the snowball method. At the qualitative level, inductive content analyses were carried out separately for the two study populations. Results from the cross-sectional survey show that 52% of the Syrian refugees in our sample are food insecure, which is comparable to the numbers obtained in other refugee populations in Canada as well as in the United States and Australia. In the semi-structured interviews, we note that the pre migratory and migratory periods need to be considered in addition to the post migratory period, which is usually more studied. Once in Canada, although financial insecurity is the most studied element of household vulnerability to food 4 insecurity, the quality of food, which includes its taste, as well as geographic access to Middle-Eastern foods are items that frequently emerge from interviews and seem to be therefore appear to be important determinants. In conclusion, several ways have been explored to explain the vulnerability to food insecurity of Syrian refugees resettled in Quebec, and this shows the importance, for the food insecurity prevention in this population, of being concerned not only with the financial aspect, but also with several other aspects, including the cultural ones.

Full textFood insecurity (FI) rates in First Nations of Canada are much higher as compared to Canada’s general population. FI is generally related to lower quality diets, however, few studies have evaluated this in First Nations on-reserve. The goal of this study was to identify, using data from 550 individuals, whether nutrient intakes were related to food security status in Manitoba First Nation adults (>18 years old) on-reserve. Furthermore, the types of foods that could be responsible for the statistically significant differences were identified. In men, none of the significant differences between food security levels could have had an effect on either group’s nutritional health given that these nutrients are not considered « at risk » in the population. As for women, intakes were significantly different between food security groups for a few nutrients at risk in the population. For women 19 to 30 years of age, intakes of vitamin A, folate and calcium were significantly higher in those with FI status. On the other hand, intakes of vitamins A and B6 and potassium were significantly lower in FI 31-50 year old women, and intakes of vitamin B6 were lower in FI 51-70 year old women. Only intakes of vitamin B6 in 31-50 and 51-70 year old women remained significant in the analysis where nutrient intakes are adjusted for energy intakes. Foods that are potentially responsible for these significant differences were identified. In conclusion, few nutrients at risk were significantly associated with food security status in Manitoba First Nations. This is particularly true if statistics are adjusted for the multiple comparisons problem (Bonferroni correction).
