Abstract
Description
In this day and age, digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become an instrumental tool that people around the world can use to share and exchange information faster and more efficiently. There is no doubt that digital ICTs support more efficient and productive communication. However, it is not evident to what extent digital ICTs, such as social media platforms, may be used as a tool to increase awareness and promote advocacy of public issues in certain regions and communities. This capstone research project focuses on exploring the role that social media platforms play in increasing awareness of and promoting advocacy for food sovereignty as a means to support food
security and healthy eating in rural communities in the northern territories of Yukon, Nunavut, and Northwest Territories.
