Indigenous Food Sovereignty

Indigenous Food Sovereignty is the right and ability of Indigenous communities to control their own food systems, including traditional practices, access, and resources. It emphasizes reclaiming and maintaining their land, seeds, and food knowledge to ensure cultural sustainability, health, and independence. This approach challenges external control over food that can threaten Indigenous ways of life, promoting self-reliance and resilience while respecting cultural practices. Overall, it’s about empowering Indigenous peoples to make decisions about their food that align with their values, history, and environment.
