After building a greenhouse, young Innu family now has a little more food security

 

A young Innu family in Quebec have built a greenhouse.

To be more precise they are also doing agriculture on their land which is very exceptional in that region (and it works).

The goal is to teach their child about the food they eat – and become as self-sustaining as possible.

  1. Dr Jay Wortman says:

    I applaud their effort to be self-sustaining but they would be better off raising animals for food. There is a lot to be gained by returning to a traditional diet of mostly meats and fats. If they cannot get enough traditional animal foods through hunting, they can mimic the traditional diet by eating domesticated animals. Filling the stomach with vegetables will not deliver the same level of nutrition and robust health.
