Support indigenous food system biocultural diversity por Argumedo, Alejandro, Song, Yiching, Khoury, Colin K., Hunter, Danny, Dempewolf, Hannes

“…Both the importance and also the vulnerability of Indigenous food systems, and therefore the obligation to “ensure that current decisions and development trajectories do not further jeopardise the resilience of Indigenous food systems, which have integral roles in the response of Indigenous populations to current and future pandemics and climatic changes”,1 should be highlighted in all pertinent policy and development arenas, including the Convention on Biological Diversity's Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework and upcoming UN Food Systems Summit, among many others. …”

Sustainable rice production in African inland valleys: Seizing regional potentials through local approaches por Rodenburg, J., Zwart, Sander J., Kiepe, P., Narteh, L.T., Dogbe, W., Wopereis, Marco C.S.

“…Besides agricultural production, i.e. mainly rice-based systems including fish-, vegetable- fruit- and livestock production, inland valleys provide local communities with forest, forage, hunting and fishing resources and they are important as water buffer and biodiversity hot spots. Degradation of natural resources in these vulnerable ecosystems, caused by indiscriminate development for the sole purpose of agricultural production, should be avoided. …”
