The Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health Equity (CIIHE) at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences (OSU-CHS) is a community-academic partnership with Indigenous peoples from Alaska, Hawai'i, and Oklahoma. The CIIHE supports communities to strengthen traditional food practices and food sovereignty and evaluate the impact of those efforts on health. In February 2022, the CIIHE sponsored and hosted a virtual conference to better understand how food sovereignty initiatives can improve health. More than 600 participants gathered to hear the latest research and practice in the areas of public health and agriculture, nutrition, community-based and Indigenous knowledge, and health economics. Community-led food sovereignty initiatives being implemented as part of the CIIHE were featured along with other Indigenous initiatives in urban, rural, and reservation communities. A survey was administered to conference participants to assess food sovereignty topics and priorities for future research. In this Practice Note, we describe innovative community-led initiatives presented as part of the conference and recommendations for action emerging from qualitative and quantitative data collected from conference participants.
俄克拉荷马州立大学健康科学中心（OSU-CHS）的原住民创新和健康公平中心（CIIHE）是一个与来自阿拉斯加、夏威夷和俄克拉荷马州的原住民合作的社区学术伙伴关系。该中心支持社区加强传统食品实践和食品主权，并评估这些努力对健康的影响。2022 年 2 月，CIIHE 主办并主持了一次虚拟会议，以更好地了解食品主权倡议如何改善健康。超过 600 名参与者聚集在一起，听取公共卫生和农业、营养、基于社区和原住民知识以及卫生经济学等领域的最新研究和实践。会议重点介绍了 CIIHE 实施的社区主导的食品主权倡议，以及城市、农村和保留地社区的其他原住民倡议。向会议参与者分发了一份调查问卷，以评估食品主权主题和未来研究的优先事项。在本实践说明中，我们描述了作为会议一部分提出的创新的社区主导倡议，并根据从会议参与者那里收集的定性和定量数据提出了行动建议。
