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."

I'm continuing to make videos at @sam publicly available and just noticed that one of those from today is coming up for its sixth anniversary next month.

Jump on a virtual plane 'down under' to meet veteran showcard and ticket writer Barbara Enright:

Given the global situation at the time, this film premiered online at the 24-hour digital marathon that was Lockdown Letterheads:
