Planet Before Profit: Indigenous Food Systems As Models of Sustainability

Indigenous food systems can serve as models for social and ecological resilience according to a new book co-edited by Noa Lincoln of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Indigenous Insights for Planetary Health and Sustainable Food Systems highlights 15 case studies from around the world demonstrating the significant knowledge, practices and values represented by Indigenous food and agricultural systems. Lincoln and his co-editors Priscilla Settee and Shailesh Shukla make the case for the urgent need to embed such lessons into the foundations of global farming and food production practices.
