Title: “Indigenous Food Systems in Latin America and The Caribbean”: LARS

Adjunct Professor Patricia Biermayr-Jenzano and undergraduate student Kira Casler present their research focused on food systems transformation and indigenous food systems across Latin America’s geographic regions. The authors will discuss their literature review on rural and urban food systems, including how this discipline has evolved from the results presented during the UN Food Systems Summit 2023 (FSS) in New York. This study also includes the determination of existing patterns of food production and women’s involvement in some selected value chain of valuable agricultural commodities (from quinoa in the Andes, cassava in the Caribbean and a selection of profitable crops region wide) and an extensive repository of sources.
