About the Book

This book examines the history of health, diet, and nutrition with a particular focus on the issue of decreasing food security in places where once-stable food webs have suffered radical shock, as have the cultures of human communities, which have always been interdependent with now-endangered food sources. This volume came into being as one output from a large, federally funded collaborative research program involving over 80 researchers and students from both Atlantic and Pacific Coasts of Canada: 'Coasts under Stress'. Two meetings of contributors were called specifically to work on this writing project. All writers were present at both meetings and all writers saw and critiqued early drafts of all chapters.

Table of Contents:
Preface; Introduction: Food Security in Coastal Communities in the Context of Restructuring: Coasts Under Stress; A Perspective on Newfoundlands Fisheries Ecosystem Using Size-Based Food-Web Relationships; Aquaculture and Nearshore Marine Food Webs: Implications for Seafood Quality and the Environment North of 50; Life in the Fast Food Chain: Ou Sont les Poissons dAntan?; "Salmon Sovereignty" and the Dilemma of Intensive Atlantic Salmon Aquaculture Development in British Columbia; New foods, lost foods: local knowledge about changing resources in coastal Labrador; Hunting for Security: Changes in the Exploitation of Marine Birds in Newfoundland and Labrador; Food Security and the Informal Economy; Food Security, Learning, and Culture: Bridging the Responsibility Gap in Public Schools; Celebrating and Connecting with Food; Changing Patterns of Household Food Consumption in Rural Communities of Atlantic Canada; Historical Perspectives on Nutrition and Food Security in Newfoundland and Labrador.
