REVIEW OF INTERSETTLEMENT TRADE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ARCTIC FOOD PRODUCTS IN NUNAVUT Section 1: Introduction Background and Purpose of the Study Arctic foods from the lands and waters of Nunavut, generally known as country food, have always provided the mainstay of the diet for Inuit in Nunavut. [...] The purpose of the current study is to examine the current state of commercial demand and supply of arctic foods and to assess the prospects for development of increased intersettlement trade within Nunavut. [...] A number of documents were identified in the proposal and in addition, the project contact within the Department of the Environment suggested a number of additional documents. [...] In consideration of the timeline for the project and the large number of respondents that were to be contacted, a master survey form was developed in order to collect the maximum information from the maximum number of respondents.
