My PhD topic addresses the question: Is Indigenous knowledge able to contribute to food security?

This PhD thesis investigates how the knowledge possessed by Indigenous people – New Zealand Māori and Peruvian Andeans – can contribute to improving food security. . This comparative research focuses on the Māori principle of ‘Te Ātanoho’ or ‘good life’ and ‘Sumaq Kawsay’, the Andean principle of ‘good living’. I am investigating traditional food production from an Indigenous perspective.
