Boaššu FoodLab at the World Food Forum
17 - 21 October 2022, FAO Rome
Under the 2022 theme “Healthy Diets. Healthy Planet.”, the World Food Forum (WFF) took place from 17 to 21 October 2022 at the headquarters of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, Italy.
In the framework of the World Food Forum, a delegation of more than 50 Indigenous Peoples’ leaders, chefs and artists from the seven socio-cultural regions of the world participated in the global discussions for the future of food, youth action, science and innovations and investment.
The BOAŠŠU Food Lab is a nomadic tent and mobile kitchen from the Sámi people of Norway. From 17 to 21 October it hosted different activities led by Indigenous Peoples and supported by the FAO Indigenous Peoples Unit to share knowledge and influence the policy debate on the transformation of food and knowledge systems.
