لقد أرست طفولة Mariah Gladstone الأسس المثالية للعمل الذي تضطلع به اليوم والذي يتمثل في بث حياة جديدة في التقاليد الغذائية للسكان الأصليين من خلال برنامج الطهي Indigikitchen على الإنترنت. وبفضل النهج الذي تتبعه إزاء الأنماط الغذائية المستدامة والذي يقضي باستخدام البقول والأغذية الأخرى التي كان يتناولها الأسلاف، أصبحت Mariah مناصرة لمنتدى الأغذية العالمي الذي هو مبادرة أطلقتها منظمة الأغذية والزراعة وشبكة عالمية من الشركاء ويقودها الشباب بما يمكّنهم من تحويل النظم الزراعية والغذائية لبناء مستقبل غذائي أفضل.

Indigenous Peoples’ and other traditional knowledge systems are deemed ‘unscientific’ when assessed against conventional hierarchies of evidence.

Not all evidence is created equal. Recent decades have seen the development of numerous hierarchies of evidence, which attempt to rank different research methods according to the strength of their findings, and thus provide a sound and defensible foundation for science-based policy development. The first formal hierarchies of evidence emerged in the clinical sciences to facilitate assessments of the...

Climate change is affecting fisheries and food systems worldwide, and the Polar Oceans are no exception. Ocean warming and acidification are expected to disrupt current practices, from resource distribution and abundance, to timing and locations of fishing, landing sites, fish preservation, marketing and consumption, and even to allocation of fishing quotas among countries. Responses to climate change and its impacts are urgently needed to build sustainability into the fisheries sector, which is contributing significantly to food, nutrition and livelihood security for local communities especially in developing countries, with...
