Nutrition programs work better when they include #Indigenous food knowledge
Researchers found nutrition programs work better when they include Indigenous food knowledge, local languages, and traditional practices.
By Raquel Brandao, July 24, 2026
Excerpt: "Cameras, cooking and conversation
"Some things worked. #Storytelling, #workshops, and #CookingDemonstrations turned up again and again across the 39 studies, alongside #TalkingCircles, #ShortFilms and #SmartphoneApps.
"The common thread is direction. Each of these methods lets people speak in their own words rather than sit and receive instruction.
"In #NewZealand ( #Aotearoa ), researchers built a mobile health app together with #Māori and #Pasifika partners. The language, the stories, and the pictures all came from the communities the app was meant for.
"Speaking with Earth.com, Rao described a project she led. 'In my own work, and one of the papers reviewed, I have used cameras and #DigitalTools with young women and men in an Indigenous community in #India to document their traditional food knowledges by speaking to the elders, visiting the forests and local markets, talking to women engaged in #foraging and #FoodPreparation.'
"That project is one of the 39 studies in the review. An earlier paper followed ten Santhal young people in eastern India who were trained to make films.
"They made nearly 50 films and screened them in their own villages. Older relatives supplied much of what went into them.
Elders as teachers
"Who holds the knowledge matters as much as what the knowledge is. #Elders, #healers, #farmers, and #women each carry different parts of it.
"None of it arrives as a curriculum. It moves between generations through cooking, gathering and long conversation, which is exactly what a nutrition leaflet cannot carry.
" 'Reclaiming and recognising #IndigenousKnowledge , values and practices to address the different elements of nutrition and health involves recognising intergenerational and wider social relations, and engaging everyone from the elders, healers, educators and farmers to service providers, policymakers and academics, to together raise issues and find solutions,' said Rao.
"Traditional foods carry knowledge of the local landscape in a way nothing else does. The review treats them as practical resources rather than heritage."

'#Aotearoa is facing its sharpest constitutional crisis in modern history, as the government professes adherence to Te Tiriti abroad while dismantling it at home, writes international legal practitioner Nicola #Hoobin.''In signing the landmark New Zealand-#India Free #Trade Agreement in April this year, the current #coalition #government exported the #Treaty yet again, embedding a dedicated “Cultural, Traditional Knowledge and Economic Cooperation Chapter” that requires all actions to be executed in a “manner consistent with the Treaty of #Waitangi”.
'.....the contradiction it presents to domestic strategy creates a fatal blind spot.
'In New Zealand public law, courts frequently look to international treaties signed by the executive as extrinsic evidence to interpret the scope of the Crown’s fiduciary obligations.
'So, for example, if #iwi launch #judicial #reviews against the rollbacks of the 19 targeted #statutes — which cover critical resource management, #biosecurity, and primary #industries — the #FTA texts become powerful legal levers.
'The Crown cannot easily look a High Court judge in the eye and argue that statutory Treaty obligations are vague, unworkable, or a threat to democratic certainty when the executive branch has formally executed international documents telling the UK and EU the exact opposite.
'The explicit acknowledgments in the EU and UK agreements effectively block the Crown from downplaying the constitutional status of Te Tiriti in a domestic courtroom.
'This inescapable double standard shifts the ultimate burden of accountability from global panels directly onto our domestic judiciary.
'Will the New Zealand courts now hold the Crown strictly accountable for its own #international admissions, enforcing the principle that a sovereign government can’t legally define Te Tiriti as a cornerstone of our constitution to the rest of the world while treating it as entirely disposable at home?...' -
