“…On the one hand, the improvement of a site (soil, redevelopment), the adoption of certain production techniques (greenhouses, varieties) and continuous learning on the part of the staff all increase productivity, at least in the first few years, as it can be observed at Le Grenier boréal. On the other hand, a community's attachment and commitment to the enterprise can also help to compensate for certain weaknesses, for example, by facilitating the establishment of markets or food stands, as is the case for La Clé des champs in Saint-Camille [61,62], or by volunteering, in the case of Le Grenier boréal. Thus, if Le Grenier boréal maintains its present core strengths, it can be expected to overcome some of the challenges as it matures, at which point it may have more impact on other dimensions of food insecurity in Minganie.…”

The objective of this text is to present a reflection on the link between local initiatives to combat food insecurity and actions adapting to climate change. To this end, two case studies of ongoing experiments in the Canadian province of Quebec will be presented and compared. While these two cases are very different in terms of location, production and people involved, they share the objective of bringing fresh and healthy food, produced locally, to the population of their territory and of rethinking the relationship of the community to nature through food production. Despite their significant differences, each of these two cases features actions for responding to problems that have a common cause: an agro-industrial food system that, by decoupling the locations of production and consumption, in order to maximize the economic profitability of the capital invested, has compromised both the health of citizens and the ecological balance.
