Promoting sustainable use of urban green and blue spaces to enhance food security, health and well being of the aboriginals in Canada.

 This is an ethnographic qualitative study that looks at the impact of spaces like community gardens in promoting sustainable food production and healthy consumption on one hand and in combination with green environments such as parks in promoting physical activities, social cohesion, cultural identity which are all determinants of health. Urban planners and policy makers could benefit from this research by looking at the benefits of shared communal work places, such as community gardens, as places to build community capital and thus healthier urban environments.
