Full Description
Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems builds upon the indispensable resource Indigenous Food Systems (Settee and Shukla, 2020). Cultivating new partnerships with scholars, community organizations, and grassroots practitioners across the globe, this follow-up volume aims to improve the understanding and outcomes of planetary health and sustainable food systems through cross-cultural sharing of Indigenous-focused research and experiences.
Community-based case studies guide readers to understand the emergence, potential application, and renewal of Indigenous food systems and planetary health innovations and their role in supporting the well-being of their communities and lands and advancing the global vision of sustainable futures through interdisciplinary perspectives.
This novel edited volume is well-suited for courses in Indigenous studies, food studies, human geography, Indigenous and public health, health policy, cultural studies, global studies, Indigenous governance, environmental studies and science, natural resources and environmental management, and several interdisciplinary programs with a special focus on Indigenous knowledges and perspectives on agriculture, food systems, and planetary health.
