8.4. Food Supply Protection and Diversification Wild foods are crucial to the health and the culture of the Xeni Gwet’in community but there is also realization that more cultivated foods (rather than store bought foods) could also enrich the community and make it more resilient to climate change. Objective #2. Conserve and Use Wild Food Sources • Preserve biodiversity (see biodiversity) • Continue to subsistence hunt, fish and collect (but take only what you need) (ongoing) • Continue to educate youth about hunting, fishing and collecting (ongoing) • Transplant or cultivate traditional plant foods/medicines that are stressed to new more hospitable areas of the XGCA (long‐term) Objective #2. Increase Development and Diet Cultivated Food Sources • Examine interest in raising cattle and poultry for sustenance (short‐term) • Investigate community/household slaughter options (short‐term) • Host workshop to educate Xeni Gwet’in members on how to start gardens and green houses (short‐term) • Establish clear protocols for sustainable range management with stakeholders (ongoing) • Explore low impact irrigation system to produce more hay (mid‐term) • Explore opportunities for new crops that are suitable to warmer climate and wildlife (mid‐ term) Objective #3. Increase Preservation of Wild and Cultivated Foods • Host workshops to educate and encourage Xeni Gwet’in members to start canning, drying and using root cellars Box 7: Community Ideas for Food Diversification Community Ideas – Food Diversification 1. Hunt, fish, trap and collect wild roots and berries 2. Prohibit industrial mining and logging 3. Raise and butcher cows and chickens for meat 4. More gardening and greenhouses 5. Preserve/can more berries, fish, meat and vegetables 6. Bring back root cellars 7. Put in proper irrigation systems for hay production 8. More education for growing vegetables 8.5. Shelter and Infrastructure Protection Shelter and infrastructure are most at risk from wildfires and floods and from mould and mildew issues. Section XX (Health and Safety) discusses wild fire and flood protection strategies at length 65
so no further elaboration is required. Mould and mildew problems are addressed in Objective 2 below. Objective #1. Protect Shelter and Infrastructure • See Health and Safety recommendations Objective #2. Reduce risk of Mould, Mildew and Rot Short‐term • Continue monitor for mould, mildew and rot on a regular basis and apply housing renovation funds where available (short‐term) • Educate householders about how to monitor for mould, mildew and rot, how to ventilate their homes properly and how fix minor leaks (short‐term) Mid to Long‐term • Examine the need to redesign new housing for wetter and milder winters (e.g. better ventilation systems, better exterior drainage and wider roof overhangs) (long‐term) 8.6. Energy Supply Protection, Conservation and Diversification Energy systems are most at risk from wildfires and floods. Section 8.2 (Health and Safety) discusses wild fire and flood protection strategies at some length so no further elaboration is required. Energy conservation and diversification are discussed in objectives 2 and 3. Objective #1. Protect Existing Energy Sources • See Health and Safety recommendations Objective #2. Strengthen Energy Conservation Short‐term • Inspect Xeni Gwet’in housing and public building for drafts and install weather stripping where necessary • Inspect Xeni Gwet’in housing and public buildings for insulation quality and install new insulation where necessary • Where relevant replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs and conventional power bars with smart power bars • Where feasible install root cellars or cold rooms to supplement refrigeration Mid to Long‐term • Where feasible replace old fridges and stoves with energy smart ones Objective #3 Continue Energy Diversification Short‐term • Continue to expand the hybrid systems (particularly the solar aspect) where cost effective • Explore mini‐wind units for hybrid systems • Continue to pursue mini‐hydro development but test for sensitivity to increased summer drought conditions. Mid to Long‐term 66
