Social Ecological Diversity and Traditional Food Systems

The present book aims to provide insight into the interactions between communities and ecosystems, as well as the significance of traditional knowledge in preserving biocultural resources through community-based adaptations. By drawing on experiences and lessons from around the world, this publication is intended to benefit a range of readers, including researchers who study human-environment interactions and climate adaptation techniques, biodiversity conservationists, non-governmental organizations, policymakers, and educators. Specifically, it is designed to assist policymakers and organizations involved in the revitalization of local foods and community-based conservation and adaptation initiatives in various ecosystems. Additionally, it serves as a useful resource for educators who work with indigenous and local communities to develop location-specific adaptations to address multiple biotic and abiotic stressors.
