This paper explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the use of geographical indications (GIs) to promote biocultural products in the market. Biocultural products are produced using traditional knowledge (TK). They are typically unique to a geographical area and are derived from the particular biological resources, traditional knowledge and cultural values and practices associated with the landscape – which make up the `biocultural heritage’ of indigenous peoples and local communities.

Local traditional knowledge makes important contributions to climate change actions and policy by observing changing climates, adapting to impacts, and contributing to global mitigation efforts. As a response to increasing climate change challenges, smallholders create new hybrid knowledge by combining traditional and western perspectives. This knowledge evolution will support greater resilience to climate change but may hasten cultural erosion and exacerbate social inequalities in the region unless efforts are taken to maintain cultural integrity.

This paper analyzed traditional agroecological knowledge and practices and their adaptation opportunities to address climate change and promote the existence and sustainability of local innovation.
