On our cover: A working group of residents of Nunavik, Canada, map their community food system using maps and Post-It notes to show sources of food

The fall 2026 issue (volume 15, issue 4), includes articles on a wide range of topics related to food systems and community development.

On our cover: Community members from Nunavik, in Northern Québec, Canada, participate in a workshop focused on mapping the community food system. Each group was asked the question, “Where does a typical Inuk household get food?” Then members drew arrows showing the flow of food resources into the household. Next, these food pathways were explored through scenarios to understand household decision-making. Members were given blue “order” cards with numbers and asked to label where in the food system a household would seek food based on the situation; for example, “What is the first place, second place, third place, etc., a typical Inuk house­hold would seek food if the household had low income and the community freezer was broken?” Read more in the article in this issue, Challenges and complexities in Northern food systems: Mapping food access and decision-making in Nunavik Photo by Samantha Farquhar, corresponding author
