Synopsis (short abstract) This Special Edition of the Knowledge Makers Journal entitled, “Indigenous Women, Indigenous Peoples’ Food and Knowledge Systems, and Climate Action” is a compilation of research articles authored by Indigenous Women from the seven socio-cultural regions. Each article focuses on a topic of significance to the author’s community and brings forward their policy recommendations and calls to action. This journal resulted from Thompson Rivers University (TRU) All My Relations Indigenous Research Centre and FAO joining forces to implement an edition of the Knowledge Makers Program dedicated to strengthening research and knowledge generation opportunities for and by Indigenous Women. Founded at TRU by Indigenous scholars in 2015 and hosted by the TRU All My Relations Indigenous Research Centre, Knowledge Makers brings together Indigenous students each year to learn how to 'make knowledge' through a multi-modal approach. Knowledge Makers engage in collaborative learning through Elder-led learning, an online learning platform, research methods and methodologies workshop, mentoring by experienced Indigenous researchers, and project-based learning resulting in the publication of peer reviewed journal articles. Through this program FAO and TRU – Knowledge Makers sought to accompany twenty-one Indigenous Women researchers on their paths to promote the recognition of Indigenous Women’s knowledge, and to amplify the influence of their voices in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

    State of knowledge of soil biodiversity – Status, challenges and potentialities. Summary for policy makers 2020
    Also available in:
    There is increasing attention on the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This summary for policy makers presents the key findings of the main report and is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative and the European Commission. The summary for policy makers presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. This report is a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

    Dimitra is an information and communication project implemented by the Gender and Population Division of FAO with the aim of empowering rural populations by building capacities and facilitating access to information. These are crucial tools in the fight against hunger and poverty, and in the promotion of gender equality. The project works with local partners in Africa and the Near East and is a tool to enable rural women, through their associations and grassroots organisations, to make their voices heard. Modern and traditional information and communication technologies are used to encourage networking and share information. Dimitra uses a participatory approach throughout its activities and at the launch of each new project phase the partner organisations have come together in Brussels to exchange ideas, experiences and determine a shared agenda of priorities and future actions. In June 2005, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU (CTA) and the Dimitra project decided to organise a joint Workshop which brought together 22 representatives of the partner organisations from the two networks.
