Indigenous and Agroecology Food: brave new ancestral food systems
Small Room
This fireside chat, led by the Instituto Regenera, will explore indigenous production and agroecology’s role in fostering biodiversity resilience. Real-world applications and partnerships will illustrate how traditional and local practices strengthen ecological health and community well-being. This event will be held in Portuguese and the event organizers will try their best to speak in a way Spanish speakers can also understand and interact.
Ilegal logging, deforestation, ilegal mining, drugdealers, all of these menaces to the forest can be prevented when we reinforce the economy of forests. And food is central in these actions. It is widely known that more than 200 food species have been spread through the Amazon Biome in more than 10 thousand years of human-nature interaction. Fostering food production with the forest is what we have been doing ancestraly and can be an even more central tool torwards forest and biodiversity conservation.
