Sistemas alimentarios Indígenas, una esperanza global

Los sistemas alimentarios de los Pueblos Indígenas son una esperanza frente a las crisis alimentarias globales, pues estos sistemas promueven y conservan la diversidad, son respetuosos con la Madre Tierra, no agotan los recursos naturales, no usan agroquímicos, aseguran una alimentación más rica en nutrientes y una mejor salud. En el marco del Día de la Gastronomía Sostenible te invitamos a aprender y reflexionar sobre este tema a través de voces de personas Indígenas que envían su palabra desde México, Guatemala, Colombia y Brasil.
