A comparative case study of two rural communities JF - Canadian Food Studies / La Revue canadienne des études sur l'alimentation JA - CanFoodStudies VL - 3 IS - 1 SE - Research Article DO - 10.15353/cfs-rcea.v3i1.73 UR - https://canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/article/view/73 SP - 71-95 AB - <p>In Canada, most local-governance level food system planning research has been conducted in larger, often urban communities. However, producers in small rural communities conduct the majority of Canada’s agricultural activities. Using case-study research, this paper documents how the rural communities of Saint-Camille (Québec) and Salt Spring Island (British Columbia) engage in food system planning. By investigating the background, key achievements, barriers and good practices, the case studies inform a comparative analysis of governance planning processes and community led project development. The results suggest an overlap between the community food system planning and the food sovereignty frameworks, a space discerned as food sovereignty planning. </p> ER -
