High-profileFAO regional strategy for collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean
Revised edition
2022Also available in:
Historically, FAO has engaged in various collaborative efforts with Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent at the global level, which have been strengthened through mutual understanding and respect. These groups are key actors in the fight against poverty and hunger, and the Organization recognizes their valuable contributions to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In Latin America and the Caribbean, nearly half of the rural population is comprised of Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent. They face major challenges and there have been serious violations of their collective and individual rights, while their ancestral knowledge and practices are crucial for the sustainable development of the region. These issues have led to the formulation of the "FAO regional strategy for collaboration with Indigenous Peoples and People of African descent in Latin America and the Caribbean" the result of a long process of exchanges and consultation with their leaders and organizations at the local, national and regional levels, carried out almost entirely against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic since the beginning of 2020. The regional strategy is a useful tool to guide the collaborative actions in the region between FAO, the governments and Indigenous Peoples and people of African descent, with the aim of achieving more inclusive, efficient, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems. -

Technical brief 2025

No results found.Despite major achievements to uphold the international human rights frameworks and the reinforced legal protection of Indigenous Peoples as a historically marginalized group, their rights continue to be threatened worldwide despite being enshrined in the 1989 ILO Convention 169 and the 2007 UNDRIP. While international frameworks affirm Indigenous Peoples’ rights, their implementation and protection at the national level often fall short. This growing gap between international commitments and national implementation, driven by legal obstacles, data invisibility, lack of political will, and continued violations of collective land and territorial rights undermines Indigenous Peoples’ right to food.Indigenous Peoples’ right to food cannot be ensured without holding states and corporations accountable for the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ rights, including FPIC. It cannot be ensured without recognizing their sovereignty, identity, their special relationship with their lands, territories and natural resources, as well as the relevance of Indigenous Peoples’ food and knowledge systems as holistic systems that integrate the food triad (right to food, food security and food sovereignty).This policy brief reviews developments over the past two decades, assesses the persisting challenges for Indigenous Peoples to feed themselves with dignity, and clarifies the specific content of the right to food for Indigenous Peoples, emphasizing its collective nature and cultural dimension as key distinctive features. It calls for human rights-based policy actions to overcome persisting challenges to the realization of Indigenous Peoples’ right to adequate food. It also explores how the violations of Indigenous Peoples’ collective and individual rights, affects the realization of their right to adequate food.
