This project will build a three-year collaboration between Thompson Rivers University and the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka. This will allow researchers across the Indo-Pacific to strengthen their research collaboration through the support of a major research project on food security. In Year 1, the project will conduct a literature review, design surveys, and hold a conference in Sri Lanka in December 2025. Year 2 will expand research to other South Asian countries and host a hybrid conference in Canada, with ongoing dissemination activities. Year 3 will focus on further dissemination and establishing a Food Security in the Indo-Pacific Working Group for future research. The publication of open-source conference proceedings as well as two op-eds will be published in major media outlets in Sri Lanka and Canada, a co-authored peer-reviewed manuscript will be submitted to a top-tier journal, and a public policy document will be created to propose a framework for food security as a core objective of Canada’s
