Indigenous people are among the populations most vulnerable to climate change. However, indigenous societies' potential contributions to addressing climate change and related issues of food security are vast but poorly recognized. The objective of this report is to inform the nutrition and public health communities about the potential contributions of ancient Andean technologies to address these contemporary challenges. Our research examines these ancient farming technologies within the frame of climate change and dietary potential. Specifically, we focus on 4 technologies derived from 3 case studies from Ecuador. These technologies were analyzed using evidence mainly of adaptation to climate change in indigenous-based agriculture. Our examination of these technologies suggests they could be effective mechanisms for adapting to climate change and protecting food sovereignty. Thus, although highly vulnerable to climate change, indigenous peoples in the Andes should also be seen as "agents of change."
原住民是最易受气候变化影响的人群之一。然而，原住民社会在应对气候变化及相关粮食安全问题方面的潜在贡献巨大，但却鲜为人知。本报告的目的是让营养与公共卫生领域了解古代安第斯技术在应对这些当代挑战方面的潜在贡献。我们的研究在气候变化和饮食潜力的框架内审视这些古代农耕技术。具体而言，我们聚焦于源自厄瓜多尔3个案例研究的4项技术。这些技术主要依据原住民农业对气候变化的适应性证据进行分析。我们对这些技术的研究表明，它们可能是适应气候变化和保护粮食主权的有效机制。因此，尽管安第斯地区的原住民极易受到气候变化影响，但也应被视为“变革推动者”。
