Riassunto:

This collection of 12 papers originates out of "Coasts Under Stress," a five-year project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and the Natural Science and Research Council of Canada that used complementary case studies on the east and west coasts of Canada to achieve an interdisciplinary, integrated analysis of the long- and short-term impacts of socio-environmental restructuring on the health of people, their communities, and the environment. The focus of this volume is on the issue of food security. Some included papers explore biophysical aspects of marine food, including food webs and fish-fisheries dynamics, marine food webs and human impacts, food web modeling, and aquaculture practices and their effects on ecological integrity and food security. Others address dynamics of livelihoods and food production and include discussion of hunting practices, the relationship between legislation and food security, the role of commercial food and its role in environmental and social restructuring. Also addressed are cultural aspects of food production, food use, and food security, as well as the regulation of food production and food access.
