    Indigenous Peoples in cultural homelands of the most rural areas of developing regions experience challenges in using their traditional food systems and to ensure food security and health despite the treasures of food biodiversity that could support well-being. This book is the third in a series promoting use of local food systems by Indigenous Peoples; the first defines the process to document local food resources, and the second describes food systems in 12 diverse rural areas of different par ts of the world. Here we describe processes and findings from more than 40 interdisciplinary collaborators who created health promotion interventions for communities using local food systems. Included are participatory processes using local knowledge and activities specifically for local food; global overviews of Indigenous Peoples' health circumstances, environmental concerns, and infant and child feeding practices; and nine specific case examples from Canada, Japan, Peru, India, Colombia, Thai land and the Federated States of Micronesia. Common themes of successful interventions and evaluations are given along with chapters on human rights issues and implications for policies and strategies. Throughout the 10 years of this research we have shown the strength and promise of local traditional food systems to improve health and well-being. This work is in context of the second United Nations' International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples and the Declaration on the Rights of Indi genous Peoples.

    Nature contact, psychological well-being, and physiological stress reactivity and recovery: A multi-study report of cross-sectional and randomized controlled experimental findings

    Urban forests and greenspaces provide ecosystem services such as storm water mitigation, cooling effects, and noise reduction. However, time spent in these spaces can also confer improved psychological well-being. To date, multiple psychological well-being benefits have been associated with nature contact, but the dominance of observational designs hampers the strength of the evidence. We need more robust study designs and objective assessments of outcomes to bolster the promising findings from existing studies. Keywords: Human health and well-being, research ID: 3620563
