store-bought foods in Nunavik while also creating an economic opportunity<br />

for local businesses.<br />

The challenges associated with the food-processing sector and with<br />

developing the Hunter Support Program further are similar to those<br />

experienced by other sectors as well. Infrastructure and transportation<br />

costs are extremely high, the sector is highly regulated by<br />

government, raw materials are seasonal, and environmental impacts<br />

must always be considered.<br />

David Natcher’s work on the subsistence economy in<br />

Nunatsiavut shows that it is possible, and helpful, to see the whole<br />

picture of how a local economy works. In Nunatsiavut, this<br />

picture includes land-based activities as well as wage-based<br />

ones. His work also shows that there are important economic,<br />

social and cultural benefits that exist in harvesting<br />

and sharing country food among households. This suggests<br />

that it may be useful for community development plans to<br />

include support for these activities to continue.<br />

One of the main objectives of economic development in<br />

Nunavik is to keep as much money generated by business and development<br />

projects in the region, in Nunavik. The business model highlighted<br />

by the FCNQ is one way to help achieve this objective. Another benefit<br />
