Indigenous food systems are systems of production, distribution, and consumption of foods based on Traditional Knowledge and practices of Indigenous Peoples. These systems are characterized by their diversity, sustainability, and resilience, which makes them preferable to conventional industrial food systems.

In a webinar organized by the Agroecology Fund (AEF) in November 2023, representatives of Indigenous Peoples and non-governmental organizations and governments from Asia, Africa, and Central America shared reflections on food systems, strengthened by projects that are developing with the support of AEF investment. Their experiences reaffirm that Indigenous food systems share a series of common principles with agroecology among which stand out: intimate relationship with the environment and community management of natural resources.
