Community perspectives

This Stockholm+50 associated event aimed to highlight the role and importance of Indigenous peoples and local communities in safeguarding the world’s forests, ecosystems, and biodiversity.

Read these stories and reflections about wild foods, biodiversity and livelihoods from indigenous people, local communities, support groups and other organizations working with sustainability from South and Southeast Asia.

Youth and indigenous people will play a key role in the food systems transformation, but they need to be given space, agency, rights and resources.

Traditional food systems and indigenous people's knowledge about nature must be part of the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.

This video presentation uses stories from the field to demonstrate how indigenous communities value and use wild foods and highlight the key challenges they are facing.
