环北极地区的气温变暖引发了围绕气候驱动的农业前沿的新讨论。在本文中，我们讨论了北方食品系统在加拿大的企业食品制度和定居者殖民主义，并认为传统的，工业化的农业范式扩展到加拿大北部将有显着的社会文化和生态后果。我们提出农业生态学作为一个替代框架，唯一符合北方的情况。特别是，我们认为，有农业生态学的元素，已经在北方土著社区的传统狩猎采集食物系统的一部分。我们提出了一个框架，在北方的农业生态，并讨论其组成部分的环境管理，经济，知识，社会层面和治理使用的例子从Dehcho地区，西北地区，加拿大。最后，我们讨论了一些挑战和注意事项，在北方农业生态学周围的政策，并鼓励社区为基础的研究，在开发和测试这一框架向前迈进。
Warming temperatures in the circumpolar north have led to new discussions around climate-driven frontiers for agriculture. In this paper, we situate northern food systems in Canada within the corporate food regime and settler colonialism, and contend that an expansion of the conventional, industrial agriculture paradigm into the Canadian North would have significant socio-cultural and ecological consequences. We propose agroecology as an alternative framework uniquely accordant with northern contexts. In particular, we suggest that there are elements of agroecology that are already being practiced in northern Indigenous communities as part of traditional hunter-gatherer food systems. We present a framework for agroecology in the North and discuss its components of environmental stewardship, economies, knowledge, social dimensions and governance using examples from the Dehcho region, Northwest Territories, Canada. Finally, we discuss several challenges and cautions in creating policy around agroecology in the North and encourage community-based research in developing and testing this framework moving forward.
