The objective of the study is to analyse the challenges to food security in Inuit Nunangat. To examine whether it is the lack of food policy and implementation of food security programme in Canada. The study is taking descriptive and analytical studies, making a critical analysis based on the four dimensions of food security: food availability, food access, food utilisation and food stability. The issue of food security is a serious problem for the Inuit communities in Canada despite the fact that they lived in a rich country. Over half of the Inuit population living in Inuit Nunangat have experienced food insecurity. Food prices, country food harvesting, store-bought food shipping, employment and unemployment rate, income, food policy, and impact of climate change are the key factors of food security issues in Inuit Nunangat.
