The idea of every human being’s ’right to food’ is nothing new these days, however, looking specifically at this idea in relation to Indigenous Peoples is an exciting and important movement that is gaining steam fast, and rightfully so. International conferences, under the title Indigenous Terra Madre, have been held across the globe first in Sweden in 2011 and then India to explore topics related to Indigenous food sovereignty and better spread the vast agricultural knowledge that has been passed down through Indigenous communities for generations.

In this Sunuwar language podcast, Inclusive Media Foundation, Newa FM, and Likhu FM take a look at how the Indigenous Peoples of Nepal struggle to maintain ownership of their ancestral lands since the construction of Hydropower plants in their ancestral areas is the cause of much anguish.
