This project will increase awareness of the effects climate change has on shellfish aquaculture and create policy around shellfish aquaculture that will help tribal departments maintain and expand upon shellfish populations for sustenance and commercial endeavors. They wish to educate the community on the benefits traditional diets

The project leverages youth-lead research and educational resources to create policy options to facilitate increased tribal community access to and control of traditional food places. The tribal communities will retain the traditional food ways by utilizing them and members will have better health outcomes through gathering and consuming traditional foods.

We leverage experience gained from USDA Food Security (Karuk Food Policy adoption, Food System Assessment publication) and USDA Farm-to-School projects (Native Health Curriculum) for this proposal, whose ultimate purpose is to increase the health of Native peoples and strengthen tribal food sovereignty.
