We all know that locally grown and produced food in the north would be of great benefit to increase food security. But is it possible on a large scale, commercially viable, and sustainable basis? We sure think so!

Hi, I´ve been in touch with your People in the past, and presently working in Maya America…..
Wht I had suggested was the development of greenhouse small livestock complexes, utilizing the super strong lifelong woven plastic of the Northern greenhouse, manitoba business, with deep insulating concrete foundations to protect the heat of the interior soils.
What I am proposing is that the funds for such complexes come from the sales of the products of the Maya Peoples delivered to your Peoples, such as coffee, natural chocolates and sugars, teas and natural medicines.
Most of the income from such sales would be dedicated to the constructions, done by the people who would derive the benefits of the crops……

just curious to know if your area has access to a deep sea port? to bring in materials, maybe set up coops to distribute our Maya products?

No, there is no deep sea port in Iqaluit. Any items shipped up have a small window by boat from approximately July through October on sealift.
