Multiple empirical methods were used for the investigation, including case studies and surveys. Indigenous cultural and knowledge preservation, Indigenous literacy and education development, Indigenous people’s interactions with technologies, and the digital divide issues were identified as four main research topics. On the basis of the review, future research directions from an information research perspective are discussed.

This paper examined the motives of consumers in buying local traditional food from rural women’s cooperatives and their perceptions for “specific quality” of women’s foods with connotations of ‘a homemade’ and so traditional, pure and healthy foodstuff. It also explore to what extent visitors to women’s co‐operatives are influenced in their shopping by the fact that products are prepared by women.

The paper aims to investigate factors responsible for the resilience and long term survival of short, local food supply networks formed in mountain areas characterised by low population density, remote location and underdeveloped infrastructure.

Research partnerships with Indigenous communities are relationships with cultural expectations of responsibility, relevance, and respect for Indigenous knowledge, goals, and aspirations. Indigenous communities have been seeking access to and ownership, control, and possession of research in their communities ever since “researchers” came to their lands (Brant Castellano, 2004; Wilson, 2008)

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.

This working paper explores the challenges involved in reversing decades of underinvestment, and why focusing too closely on formalisation may price out or remove informal food systems — and those who depend on them — from the market.

The study concludes that a global South bioenergy forum is needed to support dialogue, learning and cooperation and help ensure that the positive, transformative aspects of bioenergy are realised and deleterious ones avoided. An example of such a forum is the CIFOR-ICRAF Circular Bioeconomy Transformative Partnership Platform (https://www.cifor.org/cbe).

This working paper presents a transformative vision of young people’s engagement in the restoration agenda at multiple scales.

This study aims to understand how men and women in Cameroon’s Southwest region differ in their vulnerability to and their coping strategies for climate change impacts.Understanding such gender differences could facilitate the development of gender-sensitive policies and programs and could help improve sustainable and more inclusive adaptation strategies.

This working paper examines the development of regional socioeconomic scenarios for West Africa’s development, agriculture, food security and climate impacts. We present four globally consistent regional scenarios framed and outlined by regional experts who crafted narratives and determined key drivers of change.
