While natural urban spaces such as parks are increasingly recognized for their ecological and recreational value, these spaces are less recognized as food commons that supplement minority urban populations. Research has documented food provisioning activities such as foraging, fishing, and gathering in natural urban commons, such as urban lakeshores and greenspaces. Some studies suggest that wild food provisioning practices may be particularly important for vulnerable populations such as immigrants, who rely on these spaces for food and other cultural ecosystem services (CES), however wild food provisioning continues to be overlooked in urban planning and policy. This research uses a socioecological systems and foodscapes approach to characterize and examine the importance of urban blue and green commons (UBGC) for wild food provisioning within urban immigrant communities in North American cities. Using participatory mapping, focus groups, and interviews, this mixed-methods study will (i) characterize the types of food provisioning behaviours practiced in urban commons in the great lakes region, (ii) identify whether there are associated CES associated with these provisioning practices, and (iii) identify specific barriers and facilitators to urban food provisioning in UBGC to ensure more equitable, sustainable, and culturally-appropriate access to food.
