This is a recording of the third session of a four-part virtual workshop co-hosted by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and Royal Botanic Gardens Kew on 'Indigenous food systems, biocultural heritage and the SDGs: challenges, interdisciplinary research gaps and empowering methodologies'.

The workshop brought together a range of actors, including UK academics from humanities and botanical sciences, agri-food sectors, action-researchers, indigenous experts and FAO. It aimed to enable equitable dialogue between diverse actors and disciplines.

The workshop forms part of a project on “Indigenous food systems, biocultural heritage and agricultural resilience”, funded by UKRI Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF).
