| dc.description | This publication presents the proceedings of a two-day symposium convened in Khon Khan, Thailand from 31 May to 1 June 2014 on the promotion of underutilized indigenous food resources for food security and nutrition in Asia and the Pacific. Indigenous people living in rural areas often possess and consume food resources that are not completely understood by mainstream agriculture and health sectors. Many of these foods are highly nutritious and offer tremendous opportunities to enhance food secu rity and nutrition, stem the dangerous decline in biodiversity and improve livelihoods for rural people. These proceedings document local knowledge about wild and farmed indigenous plants and animals in the region, and provide recommendations on how to promote and raise awareness about the role and value of underutilized indigenous foods. | |
