The White/Wiphala Paper on Indigenous Peoples' Food Systems is out now in Russian!

The White/Wiphala Paper on Indigenous Peoples' food systems was key for the recognition of the game-changer nature of Indigenous Peoples´ food and knowledge systems on sustainability and resilience by the Scientific Committee of the 2021 UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS). The flagship publication was coordinated by the Global-Hub on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems.

Now, the Russian edition will provide a valuable resource for Russian-speaking researchers, policymakers, and scientists interested in the game changer nature of Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems. Ultimately, the publication of the Russian translation of this Paper will contribute to the goal of preserving and promoting Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems, while also fostering cross-cultural dialogue and understanding.  

The Russian version of the White/Wiphala paper on Indigenous Peoples’ Food Systems is available at the following link: https://www.fao.org/documents/card/en/c/CB4932RU
