Who are Indigenous Peoples?
FAO Policy (2010) in accordance with international consensus:
• Priority in time, with respect to occupation and use of a specific territory;
• The voluntary perpetuation of cultural distinctiveness, which may include aspects of language, social organization religion and spiritual values, modes of production, laws and institutions;
• Self-identification, as well as recognition by other groups, or by State authorities, as a distinct collectivity; and
• An experience of subjugation, marginalization, dispossession, exclusion or discrimination, whether or not these conditions persist.

What is FPIC?Indigenous Peoples are able to conduct their own independent collective decision making on matters affecting their rights; access; lands; territories; resources; health; collective identity; culture and spirituality; livelihoods; social cohesion and well-being.
Free: independent process of decision making. Prior: Right for IPs to undertake their own decision making
process regarding any project that concerns them before its implementation.
Informed: Right to be provided and to have sufficient information on matters for decision-making.
Consent: Collective and independent decision of impacted. communities after undergoing their own process of decision making.

Objective of applying Free, Prior and Informed
Consent As stated in the FAO Environmental and Social Management Guidelines:
• ensuring a positive engagement of indigenous peoples in project;
• avoiding adverse impacts, or when avoidance is not feasible, minimizing, mitigating or compensating for such effects, as per the indigenous peoples agreement; and
• tailoring benefits in a culturally appropriate way.

Voluntary Guidelines on Governance of Tenure (VGGT)
![Page 11: FAO and Indigenous Peoples, 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58eee8001a28abaf258b461b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Voluntary Guidelines on Tenure and Indigenous Peoples
• Call upon States and other parties to hold good faith consultation with indigenous peoples before initiating any project or measure affecting the resources for which they hold rights, in order to obtain their free, prior and informed consent.
• Recognize the right of self determination and self governance of tenure.• States should recognize and protect legitimate tenure rights of
indigenous peoples and consider adapting their policy, legal and organizational frameworks to recognize tenure systems of indigenous peoples.
• Encourage participation of indigenous peoples in the development of laws and policies related to their tenure systems and calls, where necessary, for assistance to communities to increase the capacity of their members to participate fully in decision-making and governance of their tenure systems.

Engagement with Indigenous Peoples’ in relation to the Voluntary Guidelines on
Tenure• National multi-stakeholders workshops on the
VGGT inclusion of indigenous peoples’ representatives, analysis of main issues related to tenure in the countries.
• Regional capacity building programme applied for and with Indigenous Peoples: IPs representatives from 6 countries in Central America.
• National Capacity development programmes for Indigenous Peoples in 3 countries in Asia.

Indigenous Food Systems
![Page 15: FAO and Indigenous Peoples, 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58eee8001a28abaf258b461b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
7,000 plant species used as food in the world, BUT only 150 species are commercial; 103 species provide 90% of food; 3 species (wheat, rice and maize) produce 56% of all the calories consumed by humans.
Over the coming 35 years, unprecedented confluence of pressures on agriculture:
• 30 % increase in the global population (9.3 billion in 2050); • competition for land, water and energy resources;• threat of climate change.
Necessity to review existing food
systems: Feeding the World NEED FOR
SUSTAINABLE FOOD SYSTEMS:
for world food security, for economic and social
opportunities, and biodiversity protection.

What we could learn from Indigenous Food Systems
![Page 17: FAO and Indigenous Peoples, 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58eee8001a28abaf258b461b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Indigenous Food Systems could be part of the answer to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals;
• FAO Multidisciplinary Working group on Indigenous Food Systems: an Outcome of the global meeting between Indigenous Peoples and FAO in February 2015;
• Search for more partners: institutions, researchers, indigenous local communities, etc.;
• Focus: • Consumption trends of indigenous food and
value of food systems holistic approach (food, medicine, Solidarity, biodiversity, spirituality, climate change)
• Undertake analysis (macro & micro nutrients) of different Indigenous Foods
Evidence on Nutritional value
FAO’s approach on Indigenous Food Systems
![Page 18: FAO and Indigenous Peoples, 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58eee8001a28abaf258b461b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Food composition and indigenous foods
Indigenous Foods tend to be more nutritious than
commercial crops.
Our aim is to extend that knowledge to
hundreds of indigenous foods for
Indigenous Peoples to promote their own
sustainable nutrient-rich food systems.
![Page 19: FAO and Indigenous Peoples, 2016](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030308/58eee8001a28abaf258b461b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Food security indicators

• Workshop on Indigenous Peoples and Food Security Indicators (25-26 May 2015), gathered 14 indigenous peoples from different countries in Latin America.
• Two-folded objective: 1. Enable indigenous peoples to have a better
understanding of the SDGs process and how indicators relevant for indigenous peoples’ can be developed.
2. Train indigenous enumerators to learn the methodology used in the Voices of the Hungry Project.
• Several pilots will be conducted in indigenous communities to gather food security data.

• Organization of sensitization events (e.g. side-event during major conferences)
• Participation to relevant external events (e.g. Indigenous Terra Madre 2015)
• Empowerment of indigenous peoples (e.g. Indigenous Women Leaders Capacity Building programme on Human Rights, Food Security and Nutrition and Advocacy Skills- FIMI).
