"Covers: Subsistence Issues. Evaluation: Relatively detailed coverage of topic. Comments: This study first identifies the total tonnage harvested by the villages in a target year, and the costs to village hunters and gatherers of these subsistence harvests. The report then attempts to estimate the cost of importing an equal tonnage of foods. This cost would include infrastructure costs, such as airport and electrical facilities, and a village distribution system."1
