Aman Dhindsa - School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability

As our climate warms, the northern boreal regions of Canada are becoming viable zones for agriculture. Aman Dhindsa, a Master of Social and Ecological Sustainability student in University of Waterloo Faculty of Environment is researching the feasibility of alleviating food insecurity issues in Goose Bay, Labrador through local-scale agriculture.

Before beginning his graduate studies in the fall, Aman spent his summer in Goose Bay working as a field technician. He spent his days overseeing the farming experiments, eating fresh native wild berries, and tracking footprints of fox, moose, and bear.

The opportunity to spend his time in sub-arctic Canada and immerse himself in a new environment has expanded his perspective and set a strong foundation for his graduate studies research.
