indigenous food systems 4 healthy diets

FILAC, through actions that will be carried out in three countries, is committed to promoting healthy eating habits through traditional foods. For this, a rapid participatory diagnosis of the food situation in the identified communities will be carried out, an analysis of their current habits regarding food. Based on the data collected, healthy foods that are produced and that must be incorporated into diets will be identified. After that, 4 municipal nurseries and / or greenhouses will be implemented as a garden of different varieties and plants that make up the basis of indigenous peoples' diet.At the same time, work will be done on the identification of various recipes that combine traditional foods and others that are easy to produce and prepare in the environmental conditions of the places where the actions are implemented. There will also be workshops on indigenous gastronomy and the recovery of good food practices and traditional medicine with local production. Additionally, a diagnosis will also be made of the prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes in the intervention area.
