Rising food costs affecting ability to purchase nutritious food in remote Manitoba communities
Zastre hopes to bring some of that choice back to the people in Wuskwi Sipihk. Hunting and fishing are popular, and Zastre says local food production would help his community immensely.
Zastre says he met with a company that makes greenhouses built for use year-round. He hopes to bring one to his community.Zastre says the local community gardens are a good source of fresh, healthy food, but having a place to store food would allow them to expand. “We’re looking for places where we could store our meat and fish, and grow our own vegetables because everything is going so high,” he said.He calls localizing food production “the way of the future” – it’s a must if his community is to thrive.
