Problem setting scheme of the project

This project explores the “Food Life History”, or FLH, of cold storage practices utilized by communities in Siberia and Alaska to preserve traditional foods. In the past few decades, underground caches have been failing due to natural and social changes. This project will combine objective investigations and communitybased participatory collaborations in order to better understand the transformation of FLH associated with the changes in traditional cold-storage practices, and to design and propose sustainable/desirable future practices.
