How can we protect our traditional foods?

The International Institute for Environment and Development and Leeds University are developing a scheme to create a labelling and certification scheme for traditional foods and drinks of indigenous peoples around the world.

The biocultural heritage indication scheme could protect biological and cultural diversity as well as providing a source of income. The IIED and Leeds University are running a consultation on how such a scheme might work - share your views and experiences on their website.
