Given that the report was released as an early version, I assume missing references will be added in text and in the reference list.
As far as the questions posed in the consultation, I have no major concerns. I thought the report was extremely comprehensive and if anything a bit long.
I was not familiar with the sustainability dimension that was added to food security. I'm not quite clear on how sustainability differs from stability. Would sustainability not be an element of stability? This should be better clarified.
I agree with agency being added as a dimension that is critical to justice and equity.
The inclusion of Indigenous knowledge is important but it could be reiterated that Indigenous people are diverse with diverse knowledge systems and traditional knowledges. It is important to consider this diversity in informing policy. In this regard, the report would be strengthened by citing more Indigenous scholars.
