Traditional knowledge on the use of Gynocardia odorata R. Br. seed as medicine and poison has relatively been well documented, whereas there is still a lack of adequate research on its use as food.

The article highlights that the Covid 19 Pandemic changed people’s perception and many rural household in the villages of South West Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya went back to the traditional food culture of the previous century.

The study conducted a systematic literature review, identifying 325 articles that were qualitatively coded to identify what practices constitute Local Indigenous Knowledge (LIK), patterns in how it has been studied, and how current understanding of LIK fits to the Sendai Framework.

The study aims to show the changing trends in the livelihoods of Nagaland's Konyak, Ao, and Angami tribal groups in terms of main and marginal workers in cultivation, agricultural labour, household industry, and other working categories.

This study illustrates how meaningful engagement with indigenous knowledge throughout the scientific process can improve biodiversity science and promote conservation, particularly in studies of crop wild relatives, an international priority for food security in the face of climate change.

This review entitled “Labelling and certification schemes for Indigenous Peoples’ foods: Generating income while protecting and promoting Indigenous Peoples’ values” provides an important building block in a much larger vision, which is to enable Indigenous Peoples to continue to be innovators of sustainable markets in favour of biodiversity and nutritional security.

Co-coverage of health and nutrition interventions is far from optimal and disproportionately affects poor households in south Asia. Policy and programming efforts should pay attention to closing coverage, equity and opportunity gaps, and improving nutrition delivery through health-care and other delivery platforms.

The present study was conducted to assess the plant diversity and identify the community forests for priority conservation in Khasi Hills of Meghalaya. The conservation priority map generated in the present study will help to concentrate the protection strategy to the demarcated and adjoining areas and help conservationists and planners to evolve effective strategies for conservation of the community forests.

The overarching goal of this empirical project is to train teachers to use culturally relevant modules in STEM subjects in high need schools.

Paddy is one of the most important crops in shifting agriculture in North-East India where rice is the staple food. The rich collection of traditional paddy seeds enables farmers to cultivate paddy across a range of soil and climatic conditions as fields shift from one place to another.
