Congratulations to Calin Lazarescu for winning the Robert McGhee Award!
Calin Lazarescu (he/him), is a PhD candidate in the department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University. Calin’s research is focused on strengthening and evaluating food systems within the Northwest Territories in the face of climate change stressors. Specifically, his work focusses on the three dimensions of a Northern Indigenous Food System: traditional food, market food, and community procured/grown food. By analyzing community initiatives, policies, and practices that impact each dimension of the food system, Calin will determine the steps communities need to take to ensure their food system is localized, rooted in food sovereignty, and resilient, thus ensuring they are working towards sustainability.
