@AgroBioCongress @MaximoTorero @PhrangRoy @tania_eulalia @FAO considers #IndigenousPeoples as key allies in eliminating hunger & malnutrition. Indigenous Peoples have unique systemic approaches to food systems, which hold important lessons for sustainability. - Dr. @MaximoTorero #EatGrowSave #Biodiversity

@AgroBioCongress @MaximoTorero @PhrangRoy @tania_eulalia @FAO Why are #IndigenousPeoples' #FoodSystems game changing? Because they are based on:
1. A holistic vision
2. Solidarity
3. Knowledge
4. Complex diets
5. Resilience
I encourage all to join the Coalition on Indigenous Peoples Food Systems
- H. E. García Winder, Ambassador of Mexico

@AgroBioCongress @MaximoTorero @PhrangRoy @tania_eulalia @FAO @SEMARNAT_mx After #COP26, we all need to craft a new story around agro-#biodiversity and #ClimateChange, and become a little bit more indigenous.

@AgroBioCongress @MaximoTorero @PhrangRoy @tania_eulalia @FAO @SEMARNAT_mx #WildFoods are an important source of nutrients, and require a deep understanding of #ecosystems and #seasonality.

The indigenous food system of the Nagas provides #DietaryDiverstiy, which is reflected in their better nutritional status.

- Thingnganing Longvah, @ICMRNIN

@AgroBioCongress @MaximoTorero @PhrangRoy @tania_eulalia @FAO @SEMARNAT_mx @ICMRNIN In the desert, nature is our compass. We practice #nomadism, and wild and animal-sourced foods are an important source of micronutrients for a #HealthyDiet & traditional #medicine. We need transformative solutions which include #IndigenousPeoples.
- Dr. @MAboubakrine #EatGrowSave

Dominant culture & forms of knowledge often do not recognize the value of non-written knowledge such as intergenerational storytelling, disregarding a tremendous amount of knowledge which humanity as generated. This is a tremendous loss for humanity.

- Yon Fernandez-de-Larrinoa

There can be no #agriculture without #agrobiodiversity.

Indigenous Peoples #FoodSystems are rich in agribiodiversity, but are not mainstreamed by policies & research centers. The violation of rights, markets, & loss of traditional knowledge are important threats.

-@PhrangRoy

@PhrangRoy @AgroBioCongress @IFAD #Biodiversity loss and #ClimateChange tell us that we need collective action and question dominant dogmas & paradigms. Innovative alternatives of food production and generation come from #IndigenousPeoples, which should be at the focus of research centers & policies.
