Indigenous Peoples' Food Systems: The Many Dimensions of Culture, Diversity and Environment for Nutrition and HealthFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Centre for Indigenous Peoples' Nutrition and Environment, 2009 - Business & Economics - 339 pages Indigenous peoples in cultural homelands of the most rural areas of developing regions experience challenges in using their traditional food systems and to ensure food security and health despite the treasures of food biodiversity that could support well-being. This book is the third in a series promoting use of local food systems by indigenous peoples; the first defines the process to document local food resources, and the second describes food systems in 12 diverse rural areas of different parts of the world. This book describes processes and findings from more than 40 interdisciplinary collaborators who created health promotion interventions for communities using local food systems. Included are participatory processes using local knowledge and activities specifically for local food; global overviews of Indigenous Peoples health circumstances, environmental concerns, and infant and child feeding practices; and nine specific case examples from Canada, Japan, Peru, India, Colombia, Thailand and the Federated States of Micronesia. Common themes of successful interventions and evaluations are given along with chapters on human rights issues and implications for policies and strategies. Throughout the 10 years of this research, the authors have shown the strength and promise of local traditional food systems to improve health and well-being. This work is in context of the second United Nations International Decade of the World s Indigenous Peoples and the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples." |
