Abstract:
In light of the expected global demand for food we need to feed the estimated 9.6 million people by 2050, food security is a major concern. Numerous attempts to achieve food security have been made. However, primary focus is often placed on adopting industrialised approaches to safeguarding food security. As a result, an emphasis has been placed on increasing agriculture production using scientific-technological approaches. The contribution of Indigenous People’s knowledge in food security is often overlooked in scholarly literature. This paper analysis the “Sumaq Kawsay” and Tē Atānoho, good living philosophies embraced by the Indigenous Peoples of Peru and New Zealand in safeguarding food security.
