Description

Based on over ten years of fieldwork in Peru and Aotearoa New Zealand, Recovering Our Ancestral Foodways explores how Quechua and Maori peoples describe, define, and enact well-being through the lens of foodways. By analyzing how these two Indigenous communities operationalize knowledge to promote sustainable food systems, physical and spiritual well-being, and community health, Mariaelena Huambachano puts forth a powerful philosophy of food sovereignty called the Chakana/Mahutonga. She argues that this framework offers a foundation for understanding the practices and policies needed to transform the global food system to nourish the world and preserve the Earth. One of the key features of this book is the development of the author's original research methodologythe Khipu Modelwhich will serve as a vital resource for future research on Indigenous ways of knowing.
