On this edition of APTN News InFocus, host Cierra Bettens explores why food insecurity in Nunavut has hit a breaking point.

In a territory where climate change and inflation are making food more expensive and harder to access, many families struggle to put healthy meals on the table. For some, even country foods like seal and caribou are out of reach.

A pediatrician working in the community says Nunavut's crisis is the worst she's seen. In 2022, Statistics Canada reported that 79 per cent of children under 14 in the territory lived in food-insecure households.

APTN News correspondent Jesse Staniforth recently published an in-depth article on the issue.

With demand at Iqaluit's food centre expected to hit 70,000 meals this year, Cierra talks with Jesse about what's happening and what needs to change.
